He's here!


Friday, September 21, 2012

We did it! Another happy baby is here to add to our joy! Warner has been such a dream. We couldn't be happier with how well he is treating his momma and dada with feedings and loooong sleepy nights {let's hope it stays that way!}. My due date was Wed and on Monday night I started having contractions. Tuesday night at 4 am they were 3 min apart so we booked it to the hospital at 5 am and he was here by 8:44 am! So quick and smooth, much different than sister. And he was actually born ON his due date without having to be induced. What a timely guy ;)

Sister is still adjusting. Evelyn was under the watchful and loving care of my mom while we were in the hospital, which we are SO grateful for. However, we found that we missed her so much {and our bed!} that we asked to me discharged a day early so we could get started on this real life thing. Ev did fine with Warner in the hospital, but since coming home last night she's waved bye to him several times ;) This is going to be a HUGE adjustment for all of us. But we are so happy to have two lovely little ones to call our own. We're so happy to have you here, Warner!

  7. Congratulations and I love the name! I remember when my friend had twin girls, her daughter kept looking at the second baby and asking, "Whose that one's mom?" Luckily everyone adjusted and all are doing well!

  27. Congrats Ken! Love his name, and LOVE that he is being such a good newborn. Good luck with Evelyn, we found a really good big sister book that Lily loved and we read it to her a lot. I think it helped her understand what was going on. It's called I'm a Big Sister, by Joanna Cole. :)

  31. So glad Warner is here and healthy! He looks a little like Ev, no? Lucky for you labor and delivery were quick and easy this time. That's awesome. I'm with you on the whole getting home from the hospital as soon as you can thing. That's the part I'm most dreading with this next birth, being away from my little gal. Being reunited must feel good!

  44. Dear Kendra, congratulations!!!! I am so thrilled for you! Can you believe he's here? I remember when you first announced you were expecting. Time does march on. I am cracking up with the "bye, bye." My little baby Summer does her best to be right on top of me when I'm nursing or holding Will. She needs to be "included." She's getting less interesting as the days go on but not by much.... :) Kendra, I have been praying for you and thinking of you, I hope this will be a smooth transition and if there are rough patches, just remember, "this too shall pass." And it will, trust me. Loving thoughts,
