I Speak "Boy": A New Baby and A New Title to Our Blog!

Welcome Back! In the weeks that I have been absent, you all know that we have had another baby BOY! Yes, no more Baby "L" or "It", it's a BOY! I only found it fitting that since we now have TWO little guys, and favoritism should be avoided at all costs, that I change the name of the blog from "Learning Elijah" to "I Speak 'Boy' ". I may not be a master in "Boy" but I sure will be in the next 20 years :), thus the title.

We brought Lucas Ryan D. in to this world at 8:08 am on Feb. 25th. He was a healthy 7 lbs 14 oz (yes 1 lb and 1 oz lighter than Elijah...but also 1 week early, so you can imagine, had we gone full-term I would have had another almost 9 lb baby on my hands!) and 20.75 inches long (3/4 inch LONGER than Elijah was).
He came in to this world screaming, I only hope that is not his M.O. for his life. I swear that kid cried for the first 20 minutes of his life! He was healthy though, and that is all that mattered. I was literally laughing on the operating table, at how much he was crying!

We came home Wednesday afternoon, to a new baby and a brand new bed for ourselves! Even though we had a new bed, lets just say night one, was not full of rest. It turns out our little guy has his nights and days mixed up. I am currently working really hard to get him on a schedule so that we can revert this terrible cycle. The last two nights I have been up with a wide awake baby for 2-4 stints and have caved to holding the baby in my arms to get him to sleep and stay asleep so that I can get two hours rest together....Dang! I thought he would be just like Elijah - eat every 2 hours, sleep for 2 hours, but know, no such luck.
So if you were wondering why this is such a choppy post, it's because I am operating on VERY little sleep, and word processing is not coming easy.
