I really do love my little boy's. I am soooo thankful and grateful for them, I really am! Nolan is adorable....He is such a feisty little boy and I love that. He reminds me of his Daddy. He is gorgeous. Compared to Griff as a newborn, this little guy is so "pretty." I am hopeful that he might end up having blue eye's like his Momma but everything else about him screams Daddy. So, on to the confession part of this post...
Newborns are so cute and fun to look at but that's about it! They bore me to death! I want him to grow up and start doing stuff but then again I don't. I want to cherish these sweet little moments because they will soon be gone. Newborns are so much work too, my goodness. I must have forgotten! But again, I love this sweet little babe and wouldn't trade him for anything. I just don't think I am a newborn kind of gal. I DO love the baby cuddles though...
On to Griff..love the kid. He is awesome. He is so smart and talks so well. He remembers everything and I mean everything {yikes} He is so fun and so sweet to his brother which I am thankful for. He woke up in my bed this morning {yay for nightmares} and Kason was already gone to work. Griff picked up Kason's pajamas off the bed and said "Naughty Daddy, put in the laundry." Oh dear, he must have heard me say that a time or two, who knows! Then we went to the kitchen where I started to make breakfast and Griff comes walking in saying "Naughty Daddy, put in sink" and he was carrying a glass bowl and spoon that Kason had left by the couch. He is such a clean and helpful kid. I barely have to vacuum because he picks tiny things off the floor and hands them to me. He has been so awesome through this big change but let me tell you, sometimes he drives me crazy! I feel horrible when I start to feel this way. In the days after I had Nolan I almost resented poor little Griff. Sad, I know. But postpartum hormones can do weird things! I was kind of wishing for a moment that Nolan was my first so that I could sit and cherish him and not have to take care of a demanding toddler. Those feelings faded once I felt normal again, thank goodness.
Moving from one to two kids has been fun and challenging for me. I am hoping that once Nolan is out of the demanding newborn stage that things will get a little easier. It's also hard being cooped up in the house all day because there is NO way I am taking Nolan out in public for a long while. This swine flu crap trips me out. Anyway, I really am doing great! I feel awesome and completely healed up. I don't feel as crazy as I did after I had Griff. I am a tad emotional but just over sweet little things that touch my heart, not the "crazy" emotional ;)

haha I can't wait until this one is out and can actually PLAY with Maeve too! She needs a little playmate SO BAD!
I can't tell who he looks like! I think he looks like Griff... but I can't tell if he looks like you or Kason!
I understand completely. I am so not a newborn gal either. You want to enjoy that newborn stage, but you really don't start enjoying them until about 2 or 3 months. Hang in there! It will be great and don't feel bad about your "confession". Totally normal!
awww reading your posts gets me so excited to get this little one out even though I am only in my 2nd month! haha. I think you are doing an awesome job handling 2! I dont know how I am going to handle 1! ha. Definitely a challenge but soooo worth it! So I would totally of put a pic of the "stick" but it was one that had batteries and they died so now it doesn't show PREGNANT anymore! I was kind of bummed but oh well. Oh I can post the pic of how I surprised my my mom. I will do that. ha anyways we need you back at work girl! Its boring on the days when Britt isn't here!
I love the honesty of this post. I experienced all these emotions plus some! Julie, or similarities trip me out sometimes. From your paint colors, to your feelings on motherhood, to kids names (griffin was our name if Quincy was to be a boy), to our taste of men (yeah, we won't go there, lol!!!!!!) It trips me out!! I am so glad we can be friends across the country and reconnect. You are great!
I also love your prof pics. I love the black and white background and I think you look awesome!
