4 weeks of #oliviaeveryday2014 (Weeks 24, 25, 26, 27)

WEEK 24

Day 162: Watermelon = Summer!

Day 163: Beckham randomly asked to “hold baby” today.  He loved it…and so did Coy!  This was his first time holding a baby.

Day 164: We are tracing letters and he is very proud of his work.

Day 165: Movie in a box with popcorn!  He’s in Heaven!

Day 166: Thankful for this guy!  Most important person for my little man is his dad and I’m blessed he’s molding and training my most prized possession!

Day167: My view tonight!  USA!  We wait a long time for the World Cup…it’s one of my favorite things to watch on TV.

Day 168: Mimo is the best…met me in Dallas to watch B during my 10 minute appointment and has helped take care of B all day while I put my feet up and “enjoy” the last days of pregnancy…and brought me a sonic drink.

WEEK 25:

Day 169: Just me and B tonight…he’s helping me make a batch of plain and blueberry banana bread!  My little cook!

Day 170: Play Date!  Love these kiddos and their moms!

Day 171: That face is the best thing ever! Today is Beckham’s day.  We took him to the bounce house place and then to pizza and games afterwards.  He had a blast!

Day 172: This guy deserves a big shout out!  Been taking care of our crazy toddler all day today while I rest. 

Day 173: Cheering for the greatest sport created!  He was cheering for the USA and saying “Go Lu-S-A”…it was pretty cute!

Day 174: Snow cones in summer!

Day 175: A clean kitchen!  A weird pic for my everyday picture, but I came home to a clean house today after my doctor appointment by my hubby who was trying to cheer me up (I was a little down about not having the baby yet).  This is pretty huge as I’m kind of OCD about cleaning and like to do it myself!  So sweet!   But no worries…look who showed up the next day…

WEEK 26:

Day 176: New life! 9lbs. 1oz. and 21 inches.  Longest day of my life.  But worth it!  24 hours of labor and I’ve been up for 43 hours.  We named him a couple days later.  Maddox Cade!

Day 177: Meeting “baby brudder” for the first time.  B wanted him to go to Chick-fil-a with him for lunch.  He has been AMAZING with him so far.

Day 178: We’re home! I see a lot of this in my future.  He cries a lot!  This boy likes to be held.

Day179: Burrito!  Don’t worry he escaped.

Day 180: This is how I roll from 10pm to 8am!  My parents don’t need sleep right? #nightowl

Day 181: Watching Bachelorette with Maddox while Ryan and B get a snow cone!

Day 182: How we do the USA World Cup game with a toddler in the house.  Give him whatever he wants and a movie so he doesn’t bother us 🙂

WEEK 27:

Day 183: Time with my BIG boy!  I had spent so much time with Maddox the last couple of weeks and it felt good to cuddle with Beckham!

Day 184: Sweetness after a bath!

Day 185: Thing 1 and Thing 2!  Happy 4th of July.  I thought about going out for fireworks, but we decided to stay home.  My parents came over and had brisket!

Day 186: This was pretty much my day.  Not a bad view!  His days and nights were mixed up…now they’re much better!

Day 187: Waking up!  Sweet lips!

Day 158: Meeting some besties!  This was the best picture out of at least ten.

Day 159: The life! Breakfast on the couch with Super Why!  This was my first morning with both boys by myself.  My mom did come over later that morning to help me out. 

These have been a busy and fast last few weeks.  The newborn stage is hard in my opinion, so I’m not too sad it’s flying by.  I’m all good when we have consistent sleep and breast feeding is going well.  I can see the consistency, which is nice.  And he’s sleeping a tad longer at night.  My life with 2 boys has officially begun!  I can’t wait for the adventures!
