After being in the hospital 4 days, it sure is good to be back home again. Lexi and Dave came to pick me and Garrett up from the hospital while Hunter and Mckell were at school. Over the past several years I have made several candy bar posters for friends for many reasons. From baptisms, making class office, to birthdays. Everytime I make a poster, my kids let me know that I have never made them a poster and that it is not fair. So I decided to surprise all of them with a candybar poster congratulating them on their new baby brother. They thought it was GREAT!!!
Lexi had her candy bars taken off of her poster before we even got a chance to read it to her. :) She would have been just as happy if I'd handed her the candy bars without the poster.
The kids LOVE their little brother. It is a fight between them all of who gets to hold Garrett first, and for how long. We have had many fights, many tears, and one frustrated mother. lol. Even though I could do without the fighting and crying, "I want to hold the baby", I'm glad that they love their little brother so much.
Lexi had fallen asleep while holding Garrett one evening.
The kids want to be near him every minute. He is not starved for attention :).
We are all a little tired. Well, a lot tired, lol. But that is what having a newborn baby in the house does to you right? Even though I'm exhausted, I wouldn't change it for the world. I love the sweet newborn smell, the cute little fingers and toes, and getting to snuggle with him while he sleeps. He is so precious!
