All right y'all, I know we have been terrible getting pictures up on the board, I'm so sorry.  These last three weeks have been a blur.  I've been off the Baby Train for a few years now, and holy shit, I think it ran me over!!!  I feel pretty good, lost 25 pounds already...woohoo...went to the doctor for my post-op yesterday and she said everything was healing well.  Now just gotta start doin pilates again..six pack here I come!! 

All you need to know about a newborn...they eat, sleep, eat some more, dirty diapers...pee on you as you're changing the dirty ones, eat again, sleep......

His two weeks check went great, he was back up to his birth weight and he's already grown TWO INCHES!!!!  Wild!! 

Everything checked out well, and then two days ago he decided he didn't want to sleep and that he'd rather cry al the time.  COLIC SUCKS!!!  Of course Deej and I both are not getting any sleep, so all I want to do is cry while Brandon is at 2am.  We looked into "Gripe Water", which I think actually might of helped last night.  He slept for three hours at a time, and I was able to get more than an hour at a time, feel like a million bucks.  Daddy slept downstairs to get a good nights sleep, and I had to promise that I would do the same tonight.

He's too precious for words (we're kinda proud folks), and we can't wait for everyone to meet him. 

Thank you all so much for all the prayers, gifts, flowers, cards, and phone calls...you all are the greatest.

One of my favorites...Daddy gettin his cuddle on!  DJ is the best daddy ever (duh), he's been such a great help to me.  He got christened by his son with #1 AND #2 the first night we were home at 2am!!!     I can't say much though, I have too!!

Conner....the big brother!!  He has been such a great help too...almost too eager (if there is such a thing).  Bless his heart, he even helped me out of bed the first couple of days home.  He rarely leaves Brandon's side and is always there when he starts fussing. 

We are truely blessed and we are so happy that you all can be apart of our lives!!!  Thank you again!!

Much Love,
Steph, Deej, Conner and Baby Brandon
