One happy family

Max meets his little brother (and IVF "Twin") in the hospital

We are so blessed!

Mama J & her little miracles!

Mike comes home and meets his newest little brother!


It's hard to believe this is only our 2nd full day home. Things are falling into place nicely and I'm starting to feel like myself a little more each day.

Our 1st night home was a little rough. Papa and I got about 1 1/2 - 2 hours each that night as little Miles was trying to make sure we knew he was boss. :) Actually he had his circ done the morning we were admitted and that kind of messed him up as the anesthetics made him really sleepy and he slept most of the day and didn't nurse much...so that night he was trying to make up for lost time.

Having a rough night leads to a rough following day. Two parents with little sleep and little patience...and a toddler who is ready to go go go and a newborn who needs a lot of attention. Wow...it's a lot of work! But worth it! And thankfully Grandma Donna extended her stay and helped us out another day! Grandma came and stayed with Max while we were in the hospital and they got to enjoy some wonderful 1 on 1 time. THANK YOU Gma Donna!!!

Thankfully Papa and I both got a little more sleep last night and today was much better. I even spent my 1st few hours alone w/ both the little ones as Brad had an emergency at the store and had to leave us for a few hours.

Max seems to be growing more interested in his little brother. He always wants to know where he is and is very interested in why he's crying or when I change his diaper (man, I forgot how much these little guys poop!!). Yesterday he tried to share his goldfish crackers with Miles and today he came over and patted him on the head and said, "head".

All in all...we are happy to be home and trying to get into a routine!

And, um...if you think I took a lot of pictures before. WATCH OUT! Good thing my new camera holds 500 pics on my memory card! :)
