Week 1

There is something to be said for 2nd babies. I am totally LOVING the newborn phase this time around. Jesse is just a dream baby! I dont know if it's just because i know what to expect, or if he really is just the best baby ever born! I feel like and old pro because he makes it that easy for me. At 4 days old, he was back to his birth weight. That same day was his circumcision, and he screamed through the procedure, but we've hardly heard a peep from him since. He eats every 2-4 hours!!! I get plenty of sleep at night because i nurse him before i go to sleep, and then only twice before it's time to wake up. Physically i feel TOO good. I know i shouldn't, but i would love to go running tomorrow. I'm about 8 lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy weight. My body is bouncing back pretty fast compared to the first time around.

Curtis LOVES his baby brother. We really tried to prepare him emotionally for Jesse to come and flip his world up-side-down, and he has handled it like a champ! He has really taken ownership as well...like when company comes over, he says "this is my baby!" Such a cutie. Curtis loves to hold Jesse and give him his binki. He's even gone as far to say that he loves his baby brother! I thought that would take awhile.

Im in love with my little family. The other night, Clifton went to bed early with Jesse...Curtis was already in bed...and i got to say "all my boys are sleeping!" Im soaking it all in and taking things slow. I feel the blessings from Heaven! How did i get so lucky?!
