12/12/12.
That would have been a really cool birthday, but I sure am glad we're three weeks and one day into all this rather than starting fresh today.
Things are going well.
Despite the seemingly constant eating. Mine and his. I'm starving. He's starving.
Despite the touch of thrush. Mine and his.
Despite the bit of colick. Again. Both of us.
Despite the sleepless nights.
They say second babies are easier. It's easier knowing that colic and thrush and constant feedings and the Not Sleeping Ever don't last forever. It's easier knowing that you've done a pretty good job keeping the first one alive and well so this one will most likely follow suit.
I like that phrase "follow suit". It reminds me of playing Crazy Eights. Lots of life stuff is like playing Crazy Eights. We follow suit until someone throws us a curve ball. Then we use what resources we've got to continue playing along and if we don't hold in our hands the thing we need to keep up, we fish around in the bone pile until we find something we can use.
My bone pile is nice and full this time around, and I've got a pretty good hand to boot.
Speaking of boots:
Could you die? Seriously.

Boots or no boots, I could just die! That baby is gorgeous. If I didn't live six years away from you I'd come racing out there to kiss those little cheeks.
My first thoughts, "What a cute little...OMG those boots are awesome!" I wish I had them when William was little. Precious baby boy you have there Lora.
He looks so snuggly!
EAT HIM UP! Looks a little like Jacob and a little like himself. Very cute boy.
Seriously - to die for. CUTE>
NOM NOM BABY NOM. Too cute!
And yet, the same concept in boots on adults, not so cute. But on babies, TO DIE FOR! I can't wait until my great nephew gets here in a few months. It's much more fun when you aren't the one going through the sleepless nights, colic, etc.
Oooooo look at his bright, innocent eyes! What a beautiful little baby! sniff Newborns are the best and he's lucky to have you.
oh my, the cute. So cute.
Yes, second babies are easier because you know it ends. Except they are also harder because you also have the first baby. :)
Yup. Could die. Seriously. He's beyond precious, Lora.
BOOTS - killing me!
Glad you guys are doing well, as well as can be expected with that deck of cards... do you like that? Added to the Crazy Eights convo.
12/12/12 would have been an awesome birthday indeed. But he was meant to come when he did. We are so happy to have him! :)
I think babies tend to show up when they're supposed to, whether that has to do with due dates or just general existence. And sometimes in amazing boots! That's one fine-looking baby you've got there - totally makes up for the lack of uber-cool 12/12/12 birthday.
How's big brother finding the big brother-ness of things?
He is lovely. I want to hold him!
Those are some adorable boots. And the baby looks like a perfect work of mothership and lovership. Yes, I just gave birth to two new words ;-)
Happy holidays!
Oh my god how CUTE!!!
I know nobody has ever told you this, but you have one pretty baby! I say that from the fullness of my heart and mean it, too. The boots put it over the edge into swoon land.
Is Jake still pretty happy about his little brother? :)
Y'all have a nice quiet warm evening and enjoy the holiday times. He will know more about it later on, though.
He's beautiful! Now that I have a name I'm in business! Sending good wishes and a little somethin' else your way...congratulations!
He wears those boots well. Apologies for the belated WELCOME TO THE WORLD, but here it is! May 2013 bring you lots of rest and snuggling and joy.
Ugh... this is too cute.
