Life with 2 Kids


While it's been over a week now that I have been a mother of 2 children—I don't know how to explain it but I have been feeling a mixture of totally overwhelmed and totally Bored. I guess not being able to get up and go whenever I want or not being able to get ready before lunch has made me (and Ava) a little crazy. I didn't realize how having 2 children would change almost everything. When Ryan is at work and it's just me and kids, I am totally out numbered, if Ava is not yelling at me to help her with something, then Gavin is crying needing to be feed or changed or just wants to be held. I feel Like I am always needed. And then there is my house, trying to keep it clean and organized so that when we do have visitors come over it doesn't look like a total disaster… and it doesn't help that I am totally OCD about everything being clean and looking the way it should before I can just sit down and relax.

WOW, I just sounded like I hate my life…

But really I am LOVING every minute of it. We have had so much fun with Gavin he is such a good baby! I can't complain about anything. His Sleeping at night is a Dream. He eats and poops around 11:30 and then is out until 4 and eats and poops again and is out again tell like 8:30 or 9. Some days even longer, it is SO nice. And everything else is just great and it is so fun and such a blessing to have such a cute little baby boy in our family.










How could you not LOVE him?

Exclusive Pictures of Gavin Robert Hyde


Gavin Robert Hyde is weighing in at 7 lbs 14 oz, and 19 inches long.








There is the Hyde family. Ava is having a hard time right now with Jamie and Gavin not coming home. She doesn't understand they have to stay at the Hospital "they look healthy to me" she tells me. She said that if they don't sleep at her house then that means she doesn't have a mommy or a baby brother. It's so sad and nothing I say about why they have to stay makes sense.



Any resemblance?

Seeing these pictures of Ava makes me realize just how big she is. Isn't Gavin just so cute. He just pounded a bottle which is why he's awake (he is down to pound, seriously).

Ava's Sleep Over


I just had to take a picture of this and post it cause this is what i have to do every night. Not only do I have to put Ava to bed and tuck her in but I have to do it for her babies and Flat Stanley ( I made Flat Stanley for my little brother's book report and once he was done with him at school Ava insisted that he come home with us.)
