We arrived home from the hospital on Tuesday, June 29. It was such a blessing to have the help of my mom when we arrived. It's strange to say, but I honestly could've stayed in the hospital for another week. It was kind of fun being able to relax and watch as much of the Food Network channel as I wanted and not feel guilty. It was also nice being able to order as much food as I wanted and enjoy the time with our new baby. Don't get me wrong, being home has been great also, just not as relaxing:) It's definitely better the second time around when you know more what to expect and have a little bit more confidence in what you're doing. We've already had quite a few sleepless nights. I don't know what it is about babies and sleeping at night, but it just doesn't work that well for us. At least we know the hard parts will pass and every stage is just a phase they go through.
On July 2nd, I got to celebrate my 26th birthday. My mom and I went out to Paradise Bakery that afternoon and then went to go see Eclipse after. We managed to do it all before Brady needed to be fed again. Tyler was a sweetheart letting me go out and enjoy myself. I probably looked funny wobbling everywhere I went, but I didn't care. That night my mom babysat and Tyler and I went to Cheesecake Factory and shopping to buy stuff for our house. All in all, it was a fantastic birthday...especially because Edward and Jacob could be apart of it:)
My mom sadly went home on July 9th and she has been greatly missed. It was so nice having her company and help. We miss you mom. Anyway, here are a few pictures of our little family.
Me and my boys
We prefer Kellen avoid the lips but he just can't resist.
Kellen stealing back his old carseat for a good read.
Brady's first bath.
My wonderful, gorgeous mother...who looks just like me:)
Brady getting rid of his jaunice and enjoying it.
Great eyebrow expressions, just like Kellen.
Kellen cannot enter or leave a room without giving Brady a kiss.
Tyler has been quite the handyman since he's been home. Here he is putting last minute touches in the babies room with Kellen helping him.
Being a mom is seriously the best thing ever. It is the hardest thing I will ever do but also the most rewarding. I am so blessed to have two healthy, handsome little boys and such a wonderful husband to raise them with.

isn't it so much fun to see the love Kellen has for Brady...adorable! Your boys are so darn handsome!
He is seriously so cute. I wouldn't just say that. Instead I would say something like "congratulations" or "you look so happy!" So I really mean he is adorable, especially for a new born. And I'm glad you said something about your mom looking just like you because holy cow! She is like seeing you in the future. Happy birthday! Can't wait to see you guys again.
Brady DOES look different than Kellen. What a handsome little guy! Can't wait to see him next week??!!
Love Kellen in the car seat, and Tyler's Shawn Hannity shirt ;)
P.S. it's a little disturbing to me how good you look just having a baby. Why oh why can't I have the skinny gene?
Brady is so gorgeous! You must be having a great time with this little addition! I can tell you're such a great mom.
Congrats on your new, cute little guy! We're excited for you both! Enjoy.
oh he is ADORABLE! I am still so jealous that you have your little boy out of you and you get to go do all those fun things while NOT being pregnant... hopefully soon this one will come out! Then lets get together again.
ps Brady looks just like Kellen when he was a baby
First of all, I read others' comments and Charlotte is up in the night that she doesn't have the "skinny gene." Are you kidding me? I am not sure it is even possible to get skinnier.
Back to the comment. You are adorable. I am super, super happy that I get to read updates here now.
My best advice from a nurse when my babies were in the nursery for a couple weeks. I was nervous and all around too, about bringing home tiny babies in the Swine Flu season. The nurse cautioned to keep others away from the baby as much as I could (because of the flu season, not as much now). But, she said let your own kids kiss those babies and hug those babies and love those babies. There is no use keeping your own kids away from one another. It will happen anyway, and it is so good for them.
For what it is worth. I loved that advice. It made that one thing so much easier.

He is so beautiful, Chloe. You must be a very proud mommy. And you're right, your mother looks EXACTLY like you. Hope all is well.
