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!!

  1. He really is a sweetie pie!!! Love Peyton's comment! Having a sibling really brings out some cute stuff in them. Thanks for the shout-out and I know the delicious home cooked meal you were referring to was those pigs 'n a blanket ; ) Love ya'll! Can't wait to come visit again soon!
