Where Have I been?

Oh, that's right:

Taking care of these 2 beautiful babes:)

I truly feel so blessed to be there mommy and there are moments when I just can't believe they're mine and that God has entrusted them to us to care for and raise! 

Emma Rae is in a tough place right now; learning to share mommy, learning patience, being careful around baby, being QUIET so baby brother can sleep, etc. It has not been an easy transition, but I am pleased to say that we are figuring it out! She is learning and Mommy is finding ways to spend special time with her. (As well as how to fix a meal for a near 3 year old while feeding an infant;) And the spring weather is giving this Mama a much needed boost!

Eddison James is growing like CRAZY!! He sleeps generally 7 hours at night with a couple 8-9 hour nights every so often so we are proud....and thankful:) He is very much like his sister in that he mostly likes little cat naps during the day, but every couple days I get a good long morning nap which gives me time to get things done around the house and give Em some undivided attention. He is starting to jabber and coo so much and it melts my heart! He has incredibly infectious smiles, and the most adorable double chin;)

The other day I was recalling the slight anxiety I felt right before he was born and knowing just how full my heart felt with the love I had for my daughter; I wondered if it were truly possible for me to love another little human quite as much....

And after a quick, intense labor and a rough delivery; they laid this little boy on my chest and......

......he peed all over me....

:)

But seriously, I cannot even describe with words the way my heart literally felt like it would burst out of my chest. I felt my heart was beating outside of my body in the eyes of our little boy. And I've never questioned my ability to love since. 

I have the 2 sweetest kids in the world and during the hardest of days, God gives me a moment...one of my baby boys smiles or a "You're the best, Mom," from my dear daughter and I'm reminded of the huge way that I have been blessed. 

RJ is wonderful and I am so loving watching him with our son. He is so smitten with his little boy and their bond is one that I cannot wait to watch as it continues to grow. RJ has been a huge help to me and is pretty quick to offer me a break while I take a walk, go get groceries, or maybe even just a shower:) He's a great daddy and an awesome husband and I couldn't do any of this without him!

Now for a few more pictures and then I'm going to go try and grab some rest since both kiddos are in bed;) Night all!!!
