A week has past since Olivia was born and it has been interesting to say the least. Up every two hours to eat, trial and error with the whole breast feeding thing, and trying to catch some zzz's while she's asleep. I can't say that I miss this stage a whole lot, but it has been an amazing week.
When we first brought Livi home, the first thing Noah did was bop her on her head and made her cry. The first of many bops, I assume. So, we are keeping him at a distance right now until he gets more adjusted. Over the last few days, he went from not wanting anything to do with her, to slowly coming over and seeing what she's up to. He likes to slowly sneak up and grab a toe or two. He has officially said Sissy, although it sounds like a high squeak "Sitszy". It's too cute. He's grabbed her bottle a few times and I'm almost sure he's drank out of it, but I can't be for sure. He keeps handing it to me when I ask, so it's not too big of a deal. Noah has been throwing more and more tantrums over the last week as well. Not that we don't care, but we just look at him and then look at each other and go back to what we were doing. What can you do when he throws a tantrum? It's a new phase we're going through that is only going to get worse as time goes on.
I feel as though Noah thinks that I don't love him anymore. I can't really pick him up yet because everyone keeps telling me you're not supposed to lift after you have a baby. So, to keep everyone from jumping out of their skin, I'm trying to not lift him. Last night, he wanted some love, so I had Dustin pick him up and put him in my lap. He drank AJ out of his sippy cup on one arm while Olivia drank her baba on my other arm. It was a very special moment, one of many I hope.
As far as me and Dustin goes, I don't know how much more I can love him. Everyone keeps telling us that we make beautiful babies and it makes us so happy to hear that. They are both little blessings. I feel that having these two children have made us even more in love. Gag all you want to, but I really do feel that way. I can't imagine anyone more amazing than him. He and I are in over our head with two kids, but you know what? At least we have each other to lean on when times get rough.
