Boys Can be Gross

In our first week home with Austin, he threw up all over Matt, peed and pooped mid diaper change countless times, and peed all over me while I was feeding him.  The peeing on me while feeding him was especially fun when it happened twice in the middle of the night....there was lots of changing of clothes that night!  His burps and toots are also much grosser than Peyton's ever were.  He sounds like a grown person/man when he does them!  I know this is only the beginning too!

First 2 Weeks

 
Austin is such a laid back, easy going little guy!  He really just eats, sleeps, and poops :)  He rarely cries, and when he does, it sounds so quiet.  He doesn't appear to have the lungs that his sister has!  Amazingly, he never seemed to have his days and nights confused.  From day 1, he would eat at night and go right back to sleep.  I keep waiting for this to change, but so far, so good (knock on wood)!
 
Peyton has been very sweet with Austin, but mostly ignores him.  She is very excited to see him first thing in the morning, and asks what he's doing and where he is throughout the day, but she doesn't really try to interact with him much (which is a good thing at this point).  One day he was fussing, and she looked at me and said, "can you please feed my baby brother?"  So sweet!!
 
Austin has had quite a few visitors in his first two weeks.  Nana and Goo Goo came all the way from Georgia to meet him.  Jen R came up from San Antonio after working one Saturday, during her busy season, just to meet him.  And of course, visits from Poppa, Lala, Tia, Sierra, Reid, Tera, Katie & Sophie, and Madelyn and her mommy.  We've been taken very good care of with many home cooked delicious meals too!
 
Our first two weeks as a family of four has been a much easier transition than I expected.  Other than a rough few days of recovery on my end (as well as some nursing issues), it has been a great two weeks!  I can't wait to see how Austin's personality will develop over the next few months!  I sure hope he continues to be so easy going and sweet!!
