Our Newest Addition

Hello to all my subscribers and all the newcomers to my blog. It has been such a long time since I've last written a post. And I apologize for that. But if you know anything about being a mom, a free moment to yourself doesn't come often. Especially after adding a new baby to the mix. That's right, you read right! My family welcomed our new baby boy two months ago! 

It has been an adjustment going from one child to two. My daughter is now 2 1/2 and she is very demanding wants all the attention. So when my son was first born, it was rough. For the first couple of weeks, she wanted nothing to do with him. But now, she's warmed up to him and she does nothing but smother him with her love and kisses. It's quite adorable to watch. She still has her moments when she wants my attention but talking to her and reassuring her seems to help those tough situations. 

It's amazing to see the differences between my two babies. My daughter was hard to please as a baby. She refused the pacifier, hated to be in a baby carrier and in her swing. My son, however, loves all of these things so it definitely helps during those moments where he doesn't want to be put down. 

My delivery this time around was also VERY different from my daughter. I was in labor over 24 hours! The contractions started on a Sunday morning at 4:30 am and my son was born Tuesday at 1:54 am. For the first day, I had pain but was not dilating at all until 6 am Monday morning. This laboring process was slow and progressive. The complete opposite of my daughter. Which in a way was good but also bad at the same time. Due to the long, slow and progressive laboring process I was succumbed to, I had opted to get the epidural this time around. I just could not go on anymore. Exhaustion does not even describe how I felt Monday evening when I finally arrived back into the hospital and started in active labor. Needless to say, the epidural was an answered prayer, a breath of fresh air! I was on cloud nine after it was given. 

I am so in love with this little guy ❤️

He truly does make our family MORE complete. We are now a family of 4. 

Did you have a new baby? How did your older kids react to the new addition?
