This is so much fun but so much work! God bless the single mother. . .I've said it before and I will say it again :)! Loren has been such an angel girl! She is just as happy as can be that she has "her baby." She has jealousy issues sometimes. It's hard, I know! But honestly her jealousy comes in the form of "Hold me mommy." Which I can handle! She is having a bit of a rough time going to bed at night. She has stayed up 1 - 3 hours past her bedtime every night since we brought Zach home.
Zach is such a good baby! I am so happy with him. He is just so alert when he is awake! He has two 3 hour stints in the morning and in the evening when he is awake. He sleeps from 9pm to about 3am, nurses and then sleeps to 7 or 8 am. Yes, I do realize how lucky I am!!!!
Nursing is going surprisingly well. I have my difficulties! Zach has a hard time latching sometimes so I'm pretty sore. However, when he latches that child will EAT AND EAT AND EAT! It's amazing to me because Loren NEVER nursed as well as Zach does. He's only 10 days old and Loren was 2 months! I'll just be glad when we can get these feedings down to 20/30 minutes instead of 45! It'll get better as Z and I get to know each other!
I have some adorable pictures to download but I am being lazy! I will post them (hopefully tomorrow)!

Glad things are going well. I've been checking your blog daily. Can't wait for the pics. But no pressure--you have far better things to do, like loving that little guy and nursing and nursing and nursing... :0)I am SO jealous that Zach is sleeping so well. That's amazing! sweet dreams!
You're not lazy...you're a mom of a newborn! :) I'm jealous of the sleeping, too. Isaiah didn't start sleeping like that until he was almost 8 months old! What a blessing. :) It sounds like nursing is going well. That, too, is a blessing. I hope he continues to be a good little eater for you! :) Give both of your babies a hug!
Glad to hear things are going well! I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures, but I understand if it takes two weeks to post them! :)
We found that the jealousy was the worst around 6 weeks/2 months. I think that was when #1 realized #2 wasn't going away!
What a good stretch of sleep you are getting! Yeah Zach!
I'm so glad you found time to update. I was beginning to feel like an annoying stalkaer, always calling the house...
I'm very jealous of Zach's sleeping... Maddox is FINALLY sleeping and he's 13 months old.
I'm so glad that he's doing so well Kimmy! I'm not looking forward to the jealousy when #2 is born. You are doing amazing and I'm so proud of you!
Hey there! Glad to hear that all is well there!! Is Bonnie still there with you guys? What about your folks? You're blessed with 2 adorable little ones!!
