the last week since John went back to work has been rough in the area of the older sibling adjusting. I feel so bad for her and so much guilt, yet I know it's normal and a growing pain that nearly everyone has to endure. I have cried buckets! but I have been assured by many that it will pass! it's not that I didn't expect it, I just didn't expect it to take the forms it has. I am glad to know that we are normal but I am feeling so overwhelmed at helping her cope and adjust.
today, Roman is 2 weeks old and God has given me the gift of a very easy going day! baby was awake and content so I laid him down to hang out while I went to put Berkeley down for a nap. she was still pretty wired and seemed far from a sleepy state but I asked her to please stay in bed while I checked on her brother and assured her that I would come back to snuggle. I went to find that Roman had put himself to sleep and went back to her room to find her out like a light also! not everyday will be such a breeze but I will gladly take one, Lord. thank you!
I love baby feet ...
Roman's first "game day" at 4 days old
daddy and son watching their first of many games together. Nebraska won over Illinois, 45-14.
I love this series of pictures ...
John's parents brought flowers in the vase that John received as a baby. now, to tuck that away for Roman's first born :)
bedtime story
I took pictures of Berkeley at each month milestone in our rocking chair. This is his newborn one (taken at 10 days old because I forgot), which doesn't look very newborn to me!
four generations
I LOVE this stage of being able to put him down nearly wherever and he doesn't move. this is Roman hanging out in our entryway while I swept the floor.
this is Roman being protected on the bathroom counter from big sister while I got ready this morning.
hope you enjoyed a look into our not-so-perfect life :)
