2 WEEKS!!

Well, it's been two weeks! Honestly, it feels longer :) but it's crazy that my little boy is already 2 weeks old!

I stopped taking my pain killers this week (so that I can drive legally) so everything was a little more...well...painful :) Then everyone got sick, and I got sick, so it was a very FULL week :)- good, but full :)

On Wednesday I was able to take a shower while the kids were awake! If you're a mom you know what a great accomplishment that is-- I had to turn on a movie for the boys (please don't think less of me) and the girls willingly came to the rescue when Noah started crying, but I got a shower, and it felt REALLY good :) Probably won't happen too often (showering while the kids are awake, not just showering :)), but it was pretty amazing that the house didn't burn down and everyone was in one piece when I got out. I never would have thought that was possible with 5 kids!!

Noah's biggest accomplishment this week was having his umbilical cord stump fall off!! That's always fun cuz it means BATHTIME! I love the first bath and always have to get a picture. I took this first one myself, one-handed, but then handed the camera over to Charity (Daddy was at work and since Noah was scheduled to go in for his circ that same day, I had to do the bath without Nate). Charity did pretty good though, I must say :)

Noah seemed to like the bath for the most part. He's SO CUTE!


What a cutie!


We went in for his 2 week appt. he had gained 7 ounces already from his birth weight! This is always exciting news for me since we've had problems with that in the past! But he's a strong growin' boy! AND SO CUTE- we just love him :)
