Wow! Time flies! We survived the first week of the newborn stage!
Lucky for me, my mom has been here helping.
This week has been full of diaper changes, sleep deprivation, sore nipples and lots of visitors!
It’s so true how different each child is. So far here are some of the differences between my two boys at this stage .
Maddox:
1. loves to be swaddled, cuddled and held close.
2. has latched on to breast feeding!
3. has regular bowel movements.
4. LOVES to sleep on his belly.( This makes mom and and dad nervous but it’s a fact)
5. doesn’t keep his eyes open much. (I do see them a little more of them each day.)
Mark
1. did NOT like to be swaddled. He could lay independently on his bouncy seat very happily.
2. never did figure out breast feeding.
3. still has trouble with BMs, poor guy, I need to invest in stock in Miralax!
4. Slept just fine on his back. Actually slept most of his first few weeks in the bouncy seat or his car seat.
5. had his eye wide open from the first minute!
Here are some new pictures:
LOVE the pics! Did Bernie do them? Maddox is so sweet and so is Big Brother Mark! It’s amazing how different they can be! That makes me so nervous about a 2nd baby lol! I’m so glad that BFing is going so well for you! And BM’s are ALWAYS a good thing lol!
These pictures are adorable! Can’t wait to hold him. I know being a mommy of two has its own challenges – glad you seem to be adjusting so well. Keep it up! You’re doing awesome!
I love him!!! I am assuming Bernie took these and he did a wonderful job!!!
OMG…super cute!! I can’t wait to see him and lil’ Marky Mark again! (Who by the way looks like a mini-me of Bernie…I mean wow.) Love them, love the pictures, love you!
So happy for your blessings!
Beautiful blessings-we are so happy for you all!
The pictures are adorable. I can’t believe how big Mark is getting.
Hope to see them soon. How much did Maddox weigh?
These pictures are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited that breastfeeding and everything else is going so well for y’all. Two beautiful boys – okay, three, we don’t want Bernie to get his feelings hurt:).
Amazing photos! Mark and Maddox are so precious, both of them. Can’t wait to hold Maddox!
What sweet pictures! We loved them!!!!!! Good job photographer Matt!
