Life with Simon

I know all anyone cares to see is pictures (especially for all our family and friends that lives far away), but I thought I'd give an update of the past two weeks. Its been crazy! I'm just starting to feel like I'm waking up from a fog. The past two weeks have been a blur. Simon is the greatest blessing in our life, but has completely turned our lives upside down. Andrew and I have been so lucky to have my parents here to help us out since Simon was born (especially my mom!). My mom has been great and has cooked dinner for us, cleaned our apt, done laundry, watched Simon in the middle of the night and basically has taken care of our every need. She leaves Sunday night and although I know I can handle things without her (cause she has taught me well), I don't want to.

We have had fun and have ran some errands, gone out for lunch and visited with family over the past two weeks. Its nice having so much of Andrew's family close by (our apartment can get small after being cooped up day after day). Its been really hot so we haven't been able to spend as much time outside as I would've liked. Simon is great in the car so taking drives in the middle of the hot day has been a great way to get out.

Life has been hard but worth it. Simon seems to think its a good idea to have his "fussy period" during the hours of 11pm and 3am (although last night it started a little earlier and only lasted until 1!). He also got thrush at only a few days old and he's been fighting it ever since; hopefully it clears up soon.

Overall though we've been lazily adjusting to our new life. Thanks to all those who have stopped by and called to check in. I promise many more updates and pictures to come. Maybe now I'll finally start blogging more than a few times a year. Hopefully.

That first two weeks is so crazy getting adjusted! I am so happy your parents were able to help out. I remember being so sad when my mom left and she only lives 30 mins away :) Moms are the best. I want to come see you guys again. I know the first few weeks are the toughest so I am been holding off, but I will give you a call this week.

He is so cute!!! I am so excited for you guys! My life has never been the same since my boys came around, definitely more complete as well as a lot more crazy! We will have to have you guys over when things settle down for you(I know I keep saying that, but one day it will happen). And if you get bored sometime and want to get out of the house give me a call.
