Our boy is 4 weeks tomorrow!



Can't believe we have had him for 4 weeks already, it seems like he's been around for a while longer. :-) We had a pretty eventful birth. Not fun, but it was interesting to have had a different experience. Jill- labor 10 hours, pushing 1 hour, Liam 15 hours, pushing 2 hours. Jill- good epidural, Liam 2 failed epidurals= el naturale! Thought it was supposed to get easier as you add kiddos, oh well. This best part of this birth is that I got to have my baby with me in the room whereas Jill was carted off within an hour of being born, didn't get to see her for 8 hours, and then 6 days in the hospital.

But we are so happy to have Liam in our family. He is so cute and cuddly. The last two nights he has slept 6 hours. I hope our luck doesn't run out. It is really interesting getting used to a boy. We have gotten peed on 4 times. Deciding what shade of blue to wear. And trying not to call him Jill or Carter (my nephew). Jill is being a great big sister, so helpful. She loves her baby brother so much. Hopefully someday she will call him Liam, and not "baby brother."

We are truly blessed to have two beautiful children. Wow, I can't believe I have two kids!
