Brothers?

Both of my sweet, sweet boys are napping right now.... So I started looking through pictures of Casey when he was a few weeks old....

As soon as Connor was born, Greg and I agreed he and Casey look a lot alike... But looking through these pictures right now absolutely stunned me. I can't believe how much they resemble each other!

I am such a blessed mommy. The first one is Connor and the second is Casey.

Take a look:

Changes....

So many changes have occurred in our household the past few weeks. Of course the addition of Baby Connor has totally changed the dynamics of our entire family. In addition to having a tiny baby in the house now, everything else has changed. We now have 2 adults and 2 kids. Either Greg or I is always doing something with one of the kids.

Those are all changes I totally expected and have been embracing. However, there have been a lot of other surprises to me as well....

My heart has opened up in a way I didn't know was possible the past few weeks. I am more relaxed this time around than I was with Casey... I think this is mainly because I know what to expect this go around. I am taking in every single moment with my new baby and my family. I absolutely love looking at both of my boys. Casey is so sweet with Connor. I love watching him give Connor kisses or tell me that Connor is crying and he needs his pacifier. I stare at Connor with such joy and excitement because I have living proof in Casey of the joy that lies ahead as Connor grows and develops. I feel our family is more closely on the way to being complete now that Connor has joined us and that is a wonderful feeling.

I am so incredibly thankful to have two beautiful, healthy boys. I wouldn't trade them for the world. I am also thankful that my two boys have such a loving, kind and involved daddy who cares about them and loves them unconditionally.

I am blessed.

He's Here!!!

I have been meaning to blog over the past few weeks but just have not made the time to sit down and do it.

Baby Connor arrived on July 20, 2011 at 8:25am. He weighed 8lbs and 6oz's and was 20 1/2 inches long.

Greg and I went to the hospital at 6am that morning for my scheduled C-section. My doctor was fantastic and all the hospital staff were great. They took great care of me during the actual c section and I was so glad I didn't get sick or feel terrible like I did with Casey during the operation.

We were able to leave the hospital on Friday and I was SO glad to get to come home. I missed Casey while we were in the hospital and wanted to recover in my own bed!

Here are some pictures of my newest bundle of joy:
