11 Days Out
Samuel is a whooping 11 days old. Which is really young. But I feel like his birth was ages ago...probably because I'm so tired.
Actually, he's the easiest of the 3. Babies sleep a lot. And so far, he's an easy guy. I think I've heard him cry like twice. And that's saying a lot, because the big boys are ALL over him, smothering him in kisses and touching him and begging to hold him.
It's been an adjustment. It's only been 11 days. That's what I keep telling myself. The big boys are struggling. They LOVE the baby, but the emotional adjustment is coming out as some negative behavior. And so, we press on and pray and know it will get better. Everyone's just a little 'off' these days.
Having my parents help right after the birth and my in-laws here for a week was great. Seriously, it's so wonderful to have loving family help out. Not everyone has that. We are very grateful. And we've also been gifted so many good meals. I forget how to cook, I think, because everyone's been bringing us good food.
That's about it. Just checking in. If I don't write about this, I will never remember. Brain and body and heart are in over-load.

Sammy's face!
Graham love
He's so tiny I could cry. In a good way. My little baseball butt.
Patrick love. (note: Patrick did ask if we can sell Samuel at a yard sale...but overall loves him)
