2 weeks with our little man!

I refuse to believe my little man is two weeks old! Things are so different with your second kid. In my opinion it's so much easier! I worry less, I enjoy more, I relax more, I'm for sure trying to soak in every second. With Gage I was such a worry wart and that in turn sped up Gage's newborn days. I forgot so much with Gage, so this time I'm trying to hold him more, and not care so much! Having the boys 4 years apart has been amazing! I'm so so happy we decided to wait. Gage has been amazing and such a little helper. He loves Nash so much, it melts my heart! The other day I was in the bedroom and Nash started crying. Right away I heard Gage start shhhh shhh him, it was such a proud mama moment! Gage is also independent enough that it's easier to care for Nash and enjoy Nash. It's safe to say I've been in a happy lala land. It's so true you worry about loving two kids equally but the love is amazing! I can honestly say I'm happier than I've been in a long time, sleep deprived and all! Tyler and Gage are doing great as well. Tyler is such an amazing helper and has been so great and playing with Gage. I really lucked out in the husband department!!

We learned fast to not give Nash a bath while hungry. He spent the entire time trying to eat me.
