The next few weeks after Noel came home are a bit of a blur. Newborn haze is a real thing, friends. All of those day and night feedings (every 2 hours around the clock - Noel seriously was born with an internal atomic clock) are no joke. The first weekend after he came home the weather was beautiful and I was feeling some major stir craziness, so we decided to take the kids out to the park.
Noel got wrapped up in the Solly wrap - which I l-o-v-e!! Mama is looking rough, but what can you do. (yikes).
Before Noel was born Asher and I prepared his 100 day project. I knew I wouldn't feel up to doing a project the day after giving birth so we got ready a little early. Asher and I worked together to cut up this 5x7 photo of him to make 100 Pieces of Asher!
Besides that I did a lot of newborn gazing and snuggling. While the early days are exhausting with day/night confusion, lots of breastfeeding, and a hormonal rollercoaster they are also so special.
Tiny baby trying out his BIG crib for a rest. That didn't last long - he slept in the MamaRoo in our room at night. :-)
Drew was able to take some time off from work to be home and I was so grateful. He helped keep things normal for the bigger kids - like doing Hadley's hair. ha! (we fixed it before she left the house)
Adding a new person to the family is such a big deal. I'm so proud of the way that the older kids transitioned to welcoming Noel. He's our last little baby and I tried to enjoy every minute of every stage with him!
