Brothers

Mason, Eli, and Sam make me so happy. A boy is great, but a brother is something special.

I love that the boys love each other. Sure they also make each other mad and make each other cry... But they also make each other happy and make each other laugh.

I went down to check on the big boys last night. We have been trying out having Eli in a toddler bed Mason's room. They both seem to do better when the share a room. When I went in the room last night, Eli's bed was empty... But I found him curled up in bed with Mason.

Sam has the nursery to himself now so through the night I put him on there instead of the cradle in my room. I slept so much better. Looks likely we'll make it through another day.

Life is good.

I got a new phone. I'm most excited just to have a phone that holds a charge more than three hours.

There are other perks if course. Like when I'm up with Sam all night I have entertainment to keep me awake. And when he has a hard time calming down I just bust out a white noise app and we both zonk out to the calming sound of ocean waves.

And hopefully I'll keep up on blogging a bit better. I'm too busy lately to take many pictures but the new phone should help.

Here's my sweet babe:

Ah, technology.

How does it feel?

I've been asked this question a lot this past week. How does it feel to have the baby here? How does it feel to have three? How does it feel to not be pregnant? How does it feel?

I am a girl with big feelings and I don't have the words to do those feelings justice. Some words, inadequate words, that come to mind are happy, relieved, tired.

It feels right. Sam was meant to be in this family at this time. He is the right child for us. Jason and I are the right parents for him. I am so happy he's here.
