A Quick Update and Pics

I thought that I would just get on and post a quick update of how we are all doing. Things are going pretty well. Liam is a great baby and he sleeps a lot at night which is a big change from Michael, so it took a little getting used to. Liam is growing so fast. He had already gained 4oz. at his week check-up, so we expect him to be a big boy. Here are a couple of pictures of all of my boys.

Michael really loves Liam a lot. He tells everyone that Liam is his best friend ever. It's so cute that he always wants to hold Liam and sit with him and love on him. It's fun to see them together because, apart from their noses, they look nothing alike. Michael is so light haired and fair skinned with his green/blue eyes and Liam is dark haired and skinned and will probably have brown eyes. Liam also has super long, skinny legs, feet, and toes. Actually all of Liam is long and skinny. It's amazing how different two kids from the same parents can be.

Levi has been so much help to me over the last week. I am constantly amazed by how lucky I

am to be married to such a wonderful man. He has taken care of all of the cooking and cleaning, so that I could have a chance to rest and recover. It is also amazing what a natural parent he is. I must confess that sometimes I get a little jealous. The boys absolutely adore him. Even Liam watches his every move as soon as he comes into a room. He is also amazing at calming them down and comforting them.

Welcome Liam!!!

Our newest little boy has joined our family and we are so excited. I was in labor for about 8 1/2 hours and everything went fairly well. Liam had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck a single time that was cutting down on his oxygen as he delivered. Things got a little tense for a minute, but we got him out fine. He was a little pale for a while, but otherwise healthy. He weighed 7lbs. 9oz. and was 21 in. long. He also has quite a bit of black hair and my nose. The hair was a total shock to us, and was actually the first thing that I noticed about him.

Here is a picture of Levi introducing Michael and Liam to each other. Michael was a little uninterested at first, but he has quickly overcome that. He wants to hold, touch, and help Liam all the time.

Here's a picture of me and my little boys. We did get some family pictures taken, but I don't have copies of those yet. I'll put them up as soon as I do.
