Friday Favorites - Double Edition

This week's Friday Favorites is actually a double edition. That's because last Tuesday we had a baby! Needless to say, I was sort of busy on Friday as we prepared to be discharged from the hospital after my repeat c-section. I never got around to writing this post. I was exhausted by the time we made it home and yet still had to deal with having a toddler (that I missed so much I just wanted to sit and hold her... if she would ever allow that sort of thing to happen.) I just never got around to posting. This is going to be a pic heavy post because I have so many moments and things I love from the past two weeks.

So, I figure we should start with one of my favorite moments of the last two weeks. One of my favorite moments ever. It ranks right on up there with the birth of Kenzie. That's right... the birth of Will. I will spare you the picture of Will right as he was removed from his home for the last 9 months (it's a bit graphic) and just leave you with these:

Hanging out "laboring" with really inconsistent contractions after my water broke
while I was waiting for my section
Meeting my little guy for the first time!
New baby snuggles
I love watching this little guy sleep
Skin to skin time with my little guy
My other favorite moment in all of this was introducing Kenzie to her new little brother. She thinks he is the bees knees. There are moments that we see her working to figure out her place in all of this, but despite that, she never seems to want to let him out of her sight for too long. She loves to help us change his diaper or strap him in to his swing. She always wants to give him kisses or hug him. I love watching her interact with him.


It looks like Will is even smiling. It might be a cringe. =)


Speaking of Kenzie... I love this girl. I missed her like crazy while we were at the hospital and I have loved every moment with her since we have been home. Okay, maybe not every moment was "loved", but she is still my little sunshine.





Now, I also get to enjoy my favorite new little guy, Will. He is super snuggly and such a good baby.




I also get to do things with my both of my babies now. We enjoy snuggle time in the mornings together. Usually Will is nursing for more than half of our snuggle time, but I count that. =) We also got in some park time this past week.



Ignore my crazy hair. It is morning after all and I have been up at least 5 times
between Will and Kenzie. 
Off the subject of children, I was finally able to enjoy a Publix sub. Yum! I was super excited about this. Enough that I need to share it with you.


I got a bit crafty late this week. I saw this on Pinterest and decided it was a super cute idea. These are just clear (shatterproof... we do have two kids and a very large dog) bulbs and put each kiddos hat in it along with their hospital bracelet. I can't wait to get them on the tree this year.


So, what were your favorite moments of the week... or weeks?

14 Weeks... Welcome to the Second Trimester!

Baby’s Size: Lemon How far along:  14 Weeks Total weight gain: 2 lbs and I am still okay with that. Sleep:  Pretty good. I can’t complain at this point. We were out of town last week so it wasn’t as good being that we weren’t home and in our own comfy bed, but overall it has been pretty good. Maternity Clothes:  Finally broke out the maternity shirts. Just one at this point and mainly so that my stomach wouldn’t stick out.  Food cravings:  Nothing really. I’m pretty boring when it comes to this. I was last time too…    Food aversions: Nothing other than those dumb burritos at this point.      Symptoms I HAVE: I’m feeling pretty good. Still some random nausea and I still get tired some afternoons. Exhausted, actually. Other than that though, it’s pretty good. Stretchmarks:  Still no new ones. The old ones are really light. I did notice that my c-section scar has been really dark this past week. I have no idea why. Doctor’s Appointment:  May 5 th . Still wai

Happy Fourth of July!!! (A Few Days Late...)

There is no way I was going to get around to posting this blog prior to now. It has been a crazy week or so since my birthday. I couldn't let the holiday pass (too much) without recapping it. =) I barely remember July 4th last year. I know that we didn't do anything. Kenzie was almost a year old, had a bed time that I didn't want to mess up, and we were afraid she might be scared of the fireworks so we sat at home, did our usual and went to bed while our neighbors were still lighting fireworks off. We spent the night playing every American's favorite game... "Firework or gunshot?" In our neck of the woods... you never can tell. Might be someone having a bit of target practice. Regardless, this year we decided to throw caution to the wind and attempt to enjoy some actual fireworks. Every year there is a big to do down at Lake Eola. We have been before (or at least gotten pretty close because we had some friends that lived downtown and we could see the
