Ivette came by and dropped off the camera chips with the birth photos, it was so fun to upload them and take a quick glance, I hope to have time to go through and pick my favorites sometime soon :o) I will be sure to post a few more here when I have a chance.
This afternoon Kylie enjoyed more daddy time and played in her new pool in the front yard. We later took our first walk to my parents house with the little one. I love that they live 2 blocks away! Just a couple days ago they finished installing artificial grass in a little area of their backyard, and made it a wonderful little play area with a slide and little pool. We enjoyed there new little spot so much, Kylie played in the water and brought all her fairies out to swim as well. We ate a delicious dinner while we continued the conversation about this little boys name, then we took a little detour on the way home and weny by Renae's house. We got to meet Renae's great-nephews. They are 3 and 6 years old and here to visit for the week. The 3 year old Liam was so sweet, at one point he asked to hold Kylie's hand and he led her inside the house to show her some of his books. We all stayed outside and let the responsible 6 year-old keep an eye on them :o) Supposedly they played very well together and in no time at all they came out book in hand. We hope to get a chance to go play with them some more tomorrow, we will see what the day holds.
On to me and the new baby...we are both doing great! I can not believe how good I feel, I know I should not say it out loud, but I feel better now then I did during pregnancy, it's awesome. I feel like I am already healed down there and today my milk came in thanks to my eager toddler that is still nursing :o) I had a moment today where I thought, this is great, my tummy seems to be getting smaller everyday and my boobs are getting bigger, tell me again why women choose not to nurse!? lol Our little man is doing awesome, no poop today, but about 5 wet diapers, well two technical wet diapers, two times he somehow got his outfit and mine soaked without getting it in the diaper at all (I still need to figure out this penis thing) and at least one good pee everywhere while the diaper is off, so fun. He is nursing like a champ but not able to empty all the milk that came in today, the past few hours I have been a little uncomfortable and asking Kylie to nurse to help relieve the pressure, she doesn't seem to mind helping me out :o) Right now the two men in my life are cuddling and resting on the lazy boy chair, I told Craig earlier that life really doesn't get better then this, we are so blessed.
As much as I want to stay up and look at the birth photos, I am going to try and get some sleep before our bed goes from having 3 to 4 in it. Last night Kylie wanted to continue sleeping in her "horsey couch" when she woke up at 12:30 and we brought her to our bed, great we thought, please go back to your bed, but she wanted mommy and the baby to come with her. So the baby and I climbed in the tiny horsey couch with Kylie, nursed them both and within a min she was back to sleep, baby and I were back in our big bed and she decided to join all of us around 5:30, it was great.
We still don't have a name for this little man, we keep coming back to the same name we liked when we were pregnant with Kylie. We talked about a few other names tonight so we are going to sleep on it one more night :o)
Good night :o)

Nap time today Kylie insisted that baby brother come with us and lay next to her.
This was our first night with our family of 4 in bed, makes me smile.
