2 week tuesday (a day late)

Okay so yesterday my little man turned 2 weeks old! His cord stump even fell off yesterday! It is amazing how fast time goes by! I know you all will forgive me for posting late because this mastitis has literally had me in bed until late yesterday. However I am much better and feeling like my normal self today. Thank goodness for antibiotics! It also has really affected my supply (hopefully temporarily) but I will spare you the breast feeding details....

So on to my two cuties! Words can not express my adoration for these two!!!!
Austin has started striking a pose for me whenever I pull out my camera. See for yourself! He cracks me up! He is still doing wonderful with EJ. He loves him so much and snuggles him at every chance. EJ has some reflux issues now but is gaining weight. He is up to 7lbs 13oz! Yay! Sleep is a whole different issue but he is only 2 weeks....

I will try to do pictures every tuesday. Hopefully they dont all fly by this quickly!

cloth diaper love...

I don't know how many people know we are cloth diapering, but I am in love people! I guess you could call me a natural mommy of sorts. I breastfeed, cloth diaper, make my own baby food, and even wear my baby. Adam lovingly calls me a "tree hugger" ;)

So anyways I decided to go with unbleached indian prefolds and covers. This was a little intimidating but I must say it is so easy. These things absorb an insane amount of everything EJ can throw at them. They are super soft and adorable! I am now a huge advocat for these! I have never had a leak and the fact that I am saving the environment from even more waste makes me happy.

So I thought I would share some pics of my little man in cloth...enjoy ;)

In other news, I had a decent amount of sleep last night and feel great today. I have so much energy and I feel like my normal self. EJ woke up about 5 times but I went to bed early to try to compensate for that. I can't tell you all enough how much I love this little one and how much he completes me. I look at my two boys and I am in awe. I want to absorb every moment, every smile, tear, every breath they take. They have stolen my heart and I am A-okay with that. I look at my husband and I am so thankful for this life he has given me. Together we have made this little family....Thank you so much Adam. You are the love of my life...
I also owe a very huge thank you to our Lord and Savior. All of this would never have been if it wasn't for Him.
So thank you Lord for all my blessings. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude. I can't imagine being any happier than I am right now.....
