This new little soul has been so healing for mine. I was so ready to be not pregnant and meet this precious new addition to our family. I know this is the newborn honeymoon phase and it will be over quickly, but Rix is such a sweet snuggly boy. He is sleeping very well these first few days and still nursing like a #1 champ.
It is incredible to me how much he looks like his sisters. Except almost double the weight so he looks like them when they were about 3 months old.
He came into this world a little after 1 on Saturday and we were home on Sunday evening!
I was also ready to be away from that hospital!
Such a difference from my first hospital birth experience. I cannot explain the feelings that went through my body when they asked if I would be ok going home or if I wanted to spend another night...
Another night? No thank you. I got zero sleep because of all the interruptions and was ready to be home with all my family. It was a long lonely sleepless night.
Once we got home we had no air conditioner...hmmm maybe I should have stayed another night at the hospital!
So we all had another rough night because it was so hot.
Welcome to our family Baby Rix. We love you so very much and are so happy to have you be a part of us!
