Andrew's First Week Home

Porter loves his baby brother.Aren't my sons so cute?
Another sleeping picture.

Porter wanted to have Andrew sleep in his bed with him. It's too bad he can't just TAKE night duty. That would be sweet! :)
Notice the Spiderman motif. Porter got this sweet Spiderman fold out bed from Grandma Cranney this weekend, and this extra sweet Spiderman pillow from Aunt JoAnn. And of course, the Spiderman jammies.
Aunt JoAnn and Andrew taking a little down time.

Daddy and Andrew taking a well deserved nap.

This week was wonderful. Especially the first half of it--when the highs were so high and...before the sleep deprevation kicked in. :)

Andrew eats A LOT! He'll nurse and nurse and then need a bottle. He went to the Dr. on Friday to get curcumsized and he had already gained 2 oz.! I am afraid we are not gonna be seeing this little guy stage for very long.

Aunt JoAnn and Aunt Liz have been SO helpful this past week. Liz has taken Porter every spare second that she has. She has also made us dinner and got me a sweet treat from a little place called Frozen Bliss....and IT IS! I am afraid that I have found a new love...which I really do not need! She has been wonderful--I love living next to her! She takes such good care of us!

JoAnn has been on call for a whole week before Andrew was born. Her sweet husband let her come out here from Saturday to Wednesday to help me! She has six kids of her own and I know this was a HUGE sacrifice for everyone in the family, but I cannot say enough how WONDERFUL it was to have her around! She stayed with me at the hospital and was there to answer questions. She came back to our house occationally and bought a bunch of food, cooked it up and froze it. She cleaned, did dishes, played with Porter, stayed up with the baby while he cried for no reason. We also got to visit and watch Crime TV and eat some more Frozen Bliss. She was VERY enjoyable and VERY helpful!

JoAnn and Liz made this wonderful event even that more wonderful. I can't explain how happy I was to have them around at this time!

We also got dinners from:
Liz, Suz Westbrook, Stacy Underwood, Heidi and Chalyse, Debbie Woodroow.

We have had visits from Trish Hartle and Maggie, Jen Bennion and Family, Courtney Allen and Kaylee Watson, Aunt Vic and Uncle Chris.
