2 Weeks and A Day

Two weeks and two days ago we drove to the hospital to be induced.  I was so excited and so anxious and so done waiting to meet my little boy.  It felt like that day had taken forever to get here but now time seems to go so fast! The induction, which I was totally nervous about (hearing all kinds of bad things) actually went extremely well.  I can credit my midwife for a good portion of the labor experience and recommend a midwife to anyone who is pregnant with no complications.  They started pitocin at 6:30 on the 22nd and Maverick arrived at 7:47 am on the 23rd.  He came into the world crying like no other and continued that for the first hour or so.... a stark contrast to Hannah, she came into the world with a pouty lip and no tears.  I am not sure if its boys are different than girls or just each baby is different but he is from minute one the grumpiest looking baby but so adorabley grumpy I love it. He came out the exact same size as Hannah, 7lbs 10oz and a quarter of an inch longer at 20 inches.  I forget how tiny they are, it is hard to remember Hannah so small so I am really trying to soak up this newborn stage and accept the lack of sleep a part of the beautiful little tiny sweet stage.  Hannah is doing great as the big sister and tries to help as much as possible, sometimes more than needed... but she just wants to do a good job :).  She is so funny, she tells everyone we meet or see that she likes her brother but he cries too much.  I am excited to see them become closer as he grows and they can play.  Here are a few pics from the first couple weeks.

Just waiting......

Only two weeks away from the due date of our little boy.  It seems so long yet when it gets here it will feel it happened so fast.  Aside from being excited to have my body back to myself, I think I am most excited to see Hannah become a big sister and how she will react.  She has her moments where she annoyingly pushes on my belly and says "I dont want him to come out" but other times she is asking me "when will he be here?".  I have had her help me every step of the way so she feels the importance of her duty as a sister, from painting the baby room to folding the onsies she has been awesome so far. 

Aside from waiting for the baby I have been super busy with everything I am starting, as of September 1st Glitz Floral Designs will official open, however, I am already booking weddings for next year! Super exciting yet a little overwhelming how quickly its coming together.  Kyle has been putting together my site and I just got my business cards.  For some reason these business cards were more exciting to me than any business card I have ever had my name on, I think something to do with the fact that its all my own.  In addition to Glitz Floral I also just became a Thirty One consultant which so far seems like it will be a lot of fun and rewarding, I will share more once I really get into all of it, first I must have this baby!

Only 5 weeks left!

and yet 5 weeks sounds like way too long! We have all the important stuff done, the baby room painted, crib up and clothes in the closet.  I go in his room everyday and look at the little clothes and move things around and imagine what it will be like to have him.  I keep reminding myself to enjoy this time with Hannah and just Hannah before things get hectic but it seems my energy is not matching hers and we spend most days with her begging me to play or go outside and me replying with "mommy is tired, cant you play on your own?" Hannah is very excited or so she says, she loves helping with putting away his things and when we are  out shopping she will say "mom this is cute  for baby brother" or "when will he be here mommy?".
