New and Impoved

Welcome to the "new" old blog.  About the only thing that is new is the title and the number of handsome boys you will get to see.  As most of you know, Asher Neal joined our family on December 8 at 11:39 am.  I was scheduled to be induced the following morning, but Mr. Asher had other plans.  I was only in labor for about four hours from beginning to end and I had the perfect delivery I had wanted with Max but did not get for various reasons.  We were released the next day as soon as Asher's PKU test was conducted and we are now focusing on finding balance and sleep in our new situation.  Max seems to be adjusting well, but I am afraid that will change after all of our family leaves after the holidays and it is just us again.  However, I know we will eventually hit our stride and things will begin to feel normal.

 Our first family photo!

Already has daddy wrapped around his finger.

 Max meeting his baby brother for the first time.  Asher was still in the warmer so Max could't hold him just yet.

 "Mama he's so little and cute!"

 Getting ready to go home.  This was the same outfit in which we brought Maxwell home from the hospital.

 Max rocked Asher as soon as we put him in the seat.  He is a good helper.

 Ready to go!

 Our first night home.  This is how Max slept, in a short sleeved onesie and his swaddling blanket.  Anything past that and he would wake up sweating!  Asher is the opposite.  He needs at least 4 layers at night to sleep well.  They are already acting opposite of one another!

 We are so fortunate that Grandma and Grandpa are here.  They not only entertain Max and ride him around town, but they have taken care of me and let me get much needed rest.  Can't thank them enough!
