My husband describes him as a sour patch kid - you know the commercial who's tag line is "First they're sour, then they're sweet"? Yeah, that's Cayden. He'll throw a fit and then come kiss you and tell you he loves you. My husband asked me the other day if there was something wrong with him, lol. And again, just really think it's the age.
Elijah's a really good baby. He rarely cries, only when he needs something, but usually first he gives you a warning (he'll start talking and fussing and you know he's going to need a bottle soon, or a diaper change, or cuddled.) He's tolerant with Cayden loving on him (Cayden really likes him - it's just sometimes his love is a little rough, lol.) He's really the happiest newborn I've ever met - I can't believe the amount of smiles we get out of him, and I know I sound crazy but they can't all be gas. I want another baby someday, but I'm a little afraid, lol. Cayden and Elijah have both been such easy babies, I'm due for a collicky, fussy one (which is also why I'm a little afraid to have a girl, as much as I want one, lol.)
As for me, for the most part, I feel great. Little tired, but still pretty good. My main complaint which may be TMI is that I may have to go back to the hospital because I'm still not really pooping. I know - TMI, but it's really starting to worry me. My c-section was almost 2 weeks ago, and I've only gone a handful of times - and none in the last 3 days. I don't feel constipated. We've tried a bunch of stuff at home, nothing's worked. I know with Cayden it took me awhile to get back on a schedule, so to speak, but nothing like this. So... Bleck. What a dumb reason to have to go to the hospital, right?
We took the boys to get Elijah's newborn pictures done and visted Santa while we were there. We pick up the newborn pictures Tuesday and I'll share then, but here's the boy's Santa pics, which I thought turned out pretty cute :-)
Adorable!! Hopefully all goes well with you!
