Welcome to the world, babe #4!
Our newest employment solid unit of measurement fellow member has finally arrived as well as nosotros are over the satelite for him. Welcome to the world, babe #4!
He was born weighing ix lbs 4 oz! This is a tape for our family. His iii older brothers weighed vii lbs xiv oz, half dozen lbs half dozen oz, as well as half dozen lbs v oz. However, they all await similar duplicates of each other. I set together this collage of all iv of our boys equally newborns. I'm patently over the satelite for these boys!
Even better, today our boys met their novel blood brother for the offset time. My hubby as well as I were real unsure how it would go, non simply coming together the novel baby, but also bringing ii 3-year olds as well as a curious 5-year former to a hospital. We were also worried how our toddlers would experience seeing Momma inward the infirmary as well as proverb good-bye to me hither when their see was over. Our fears were unfounded! One of our toddlers cried proverb good-bye to me, but my hubby was quick to selection him upward as well as give him hugs as well as the sorrow of leaving Momma was rapidly replaced alongside an Altoid mint. :)
I actually idea my pump would flare-up seeing them dear on their novel brother. Our oldest barely set him downward the entire visit. Surprisingly, the toddler most excited almost a babe didn't desire to care L, but our toddler who has been against some other sibling from solar daytime i did!
We allow the boys direct maintain accuse of the visit. We didn't desire to force the babe on them or brand them experience similar they had to create anything they didn't desire to do. In fact, our toddlers spent much of the see looking out the window. Apparently trucks are cooler than babe brothers....
Our oldest wouldn't live distracted yesteryear anything. He was 100% focused on giving his littlest blood brother love. I actually intend he loves babies equally much equally I do. His spirit is so sweetness as well as so compassionate... I dear existence a momma to boys...
One of my favorite parts of their see was getting dear from our toddlers. One of our boys (the i who was against some other sibling) is a self-proclaimed momma's boy. As shortly equally he flare-up into my room, he crawled upward inward my lap to tell me he loved me. Later on, our other toddler joined him. It simply filled me alongside such joy having my employment solid unit of measurement alongside me here, loving on me as well as our novel baby. I await horrible inward this side yesteryear side motion-picture exhibit because I couldn't aid but tear upward at our boys' fountain of love.
I tell it all the time, but I dear existence a mom. I dear this chore as well as the jeopardy my hubby as well as I direct maintain been on, parenting together. Each phase has brought us novel challenges, novel pump ache, novel frustration, novel joys, as well as novel ways to dear on our kids. I wake upward each solar daytime as well as await forrard to seeing our boys' faces. I experience so incredibly blessed to direct maintain this novel petty i to dear on. Getting all our boys together today as well as seeing them at these unlike stages-- a kindergartner, toddlers, as well as a newborn-- I was reminded of all the unlike things I dear almost their ages.
I dear that our 5-year former wanted to live a large man, belongings the babe on his ain as well as existence trusted to create so. It was so of import to him to care that babe right, without whatsoever one's help. He wanted to selection the babe upward on his own, wrap the blanket unopen to the baby, verbalise to the babe on his own... It was beyond precious. He brought a board book with him to read to his novel brother. I am so proud of him as well as dear watching the man child (and man) he is becoming.
I dear that i of our 3-year olds, C, was uncertain of the whole situation. From the 2nd he entered the infirmary room, he didn't know what to think. He had fallen asleep inward the auto as well as was tired. He didn't know why Momma has to remain at the hospital, who this babe was, why everyone was so excited... It was overwhelming to him so he clung unopen to his rubber place-- his daddy. My hubby was so calming to him, so understanding, as well as C tardily warmed upward to the whole scene. He loved listening inward on the mass D brought as well as loved all the snacks as well as snuggles I offered him.
And as well as so O. As I said our other 3-year former climbed correct into my lap equally shortly equally he came inward my room. He was thrilled to consider momma as well as happy to claim my lap equally his place. He started talking almost how the babe wasn't inward my breadbasket anymore correct away (though all the boys agreed that my breadbasket is "still big"). He crossed his petty legs at the ankles equally he made himself at abode inward my lap. "Guess what, Momma?" "What, baby?" "I dear you." I dear how alongside everything going on, he tuned it all out as well as focused on loving on his momma. He told me all almost how our neighbors made pancakes alongside them this morn as well as all the fun he was having alongside them. It was fun listening to him create total me inward on his day.
Ah, as well as and so our newborn... One of my favorite things almost newborns is how piece of cake it tin live to solve their problems. When he's crying he is tired or hungry, but most of all, he wants to experience safe, live nigh me. I tin set my manus on his confront as well as say, "I'm here; it's okay," as well as he calms. I tin visibly consider him calm simply yesteryear existence nigh him. His petty manus squeezing my side equally he nurses... I dear it. I dear that I am enough. I am all he is quest for, simply existence there. My other boys desire that too, that feel of security, that Mommy as well as Daddy are correct at that spot yesteryear their sides, but their problems aren't ever equally piece of cake to solve similar a shot equally scooping them upward as well as hugging them. There is a beautiful simplicity inward infancy.
My pump is total correct now. I am experiencing i of those times where all I tin intend of are the blessings inward my life. Aren't those the best times? I can't halt thanking God for this fountain of love. Besides the obvious blessings, I direct maintain to give credit to this amazing Bible report a friend of mine plugged me into called Good Morning Girls. The subject for this report is "You are Loved." I dear the back upward that my report has given me over the yesteryear distich weeks equally I struggled alongside the belatedly tertiary trimester inward the summertime rut of the South as well as a employment solid bursting alongside active children. This report helped shift my mental attitude from complaining to praise. I direct maintain the verses we've been discussing flight unopen to inward my caput equally I await at our newest parcel of joy. It floors me how much God loves us. Looking at this baby's face, I scrap to justify my complaints over the yesteryear distich weeks. It was a frustrating as well as uncomfortable fourth dimension for me, understandably, but, oh, it was worth it. I would create it i time again inward a pump beat!
