Mama What?

Mommy brain has replaced pregnesia in the worst way. 

First and foremost, our second son, Kingston Miles, was born on Wednesday, June 3rd. 

For all the deets:

9:18am

7 lbs 3.5 oz

19.5 in

C-sec

39 weeks "old"

We were out of the hospital by Friday with no complications on the baby's/mommy's side and everyone is healthy and happy to be home. 

Kingston is a doll. He's long and lean, fair and blonde. Where did he come from, you ask? Probably my mom's Norweigan side. Who knows?

He's super sweet and loves to eat and sleep - like all newborns. It's a nice change from the rambunctious, raucous 16-month old we have running around wreaking havoc in the house. 

I remember when Hunter was this age and I wondered what I was doing or what I could do to help the little guy sleep through the night. I read EVERY book out there. I changed his feeding schedule. I changed my diet since I was breast-feeding. I changed everything I could -- except my perspective. 

Now, having a second it's amazing how something like a sleepless night you just brush off and chalk it up to having a newborn. Now I know it's just a temporary phase and if I deal with it one night at a time it's a non-issue. Funny how important it was to me before to "figure things out"...I feel like a seasoned mom now. Taking things as they come and accepting them for what they are.

Travis has been really enjoying this time with Kingston. He didn't get a lot of "face-time" with Hunter at this age since he was working so much. 

Now he has a better understanding of how devoted and committed my days were to Hunter when he was a newborn. Especially when you are nursing...your whole world revolves around their schedule 24/7.

Uh-oh, someone's hungry. Case in point.

More to come later. :)
