Although I have given birth twice, today was my first Mother's Day and it was great! My day started off by sleeping in while Paul got up with Payson. Then we went to lunch at a new restaurant called Uncle Julio's. Mexican food is my favorite! After going home to feed Beckett, we went out again for ice cream. Plus, I was given a super cute card from Payson and Beckett. Here is our first family photo. I wish I had held up Beckett a little better...
On a side note.... I want to thank all of my Virginia friends for offering their support and bringing us meals since Beckett's birth. We couldn't have asked to make better friends since we moved here. I hope to be active with play dates soon so we all can catch up. Thank You so much!
The past two weeks have been wonderful with Paul home. I was able to rest and recover with his help around the house. I don't know any other husband that would jump right in and do all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and shopping. Tomorrow Paul goes back to work and I am actually looking forward to seeing how I handle things.
During the past week, Beckett got circumcised and that went very well. We also took both boys to our amazing chiropractor for an adjustment. I also got one myself, to make sure I was in good shape after giving birth. Yesterday, our midwife came over for Beckett's two week check-up. He lost one pound in the first few days after he was born and has already gained 12oz. back. I was so relieved to see that he has gained weight because it confirmed that breastfeeding is going well. Having a natural birth made all the difference. Payson still LOVES his baby brother but does not know his own strength. He gets very upset with us when we stop him from grabbing and touching Beckett too roughly. Here are a few pictures from the past week.
Now that we have two car seats in the back of our truck, we had to turn Payson's seat around so we all could fit. He already weighs over 24lbs., so we aren't really worried about turning him around a few weeks early.
