Mother of 2

It is Thursday which means I have survived my first 4 days with 2 kiddos all by myself! It has definitely been logistically challenging of course but overall not too bad. I just have to rethink everything to accommodate holding a 2 year old's hand with a carseat in the other.  We made it to the dentist on Monday, and both of them did great! Natalie was so brave and didn't cry. The staff was amazing, making it overall a great experience for her.  Tuesday and Wednesday were home alone days with the exception of a wonderful evening with precious friends!

They surprised me with this amazing cake!

And these wonderful gifts.....check out that Razorback stuff!

I feel so blessed to call these ladies (and so many more) friends. Thank you for making Joaquin and I feel special. 

Thursday was spent at the doctor for both kids. A regular check-up for Joaquin, and a strep swap for Natalie(negative, thank goodness).  Joaquin's 2 week stats are as follows:

head: 13 3/4, 25th percentile

height: 21 inches, 90th percentile * this may be the one time in his little life he will be tall=)

weight: 8.25, 75th percentile

After an hour and a half at the doctor getting them both checked out, we dropped off Nat's prescription for her breathing treatments, drove to Chi-fil-A to eat and kill time, then back to the pharmacy where I had to get out to go get it, and finally back home. A busy morning but NJ and JZ did great! They were good to me.

Here are some sweet snapshots of our moments this week. I love how much Natalie loves her brother. When she hasnt seen him for a few minutes her question is always, "Where's my brother?"

Our lazy (so thankful to have) mornings,

ready for naptime,

 and his favorite sleeping position. It took us about 5 days to discover his hatred for being swaddled, so the arms are out buddy!

**We have also been SO blessed this week and next with meals 3 days a week from our Sunday School class. This is such a blessing to not have to think about for a few days each week.  Thank you!
