2 Weeks In...

what a whirlwind I feel like I'm in....
It's been a long week to say the least. Thursday was the first day I had all by myself with both boys at home all day, and let's just say I barely survived. And I considered going back to work full time many times throughout the day! Which has gone thru my head each day since :) This is hard. Mason is in fit throwing mode right now so adding a baby isn't helping. If I'm feeding Sutton, he has to be on top of us, covered with a blanket too, has to have his milk, etc. Mason is such a sweetheart, but he is wearing me out. We have also been cooped up in this dang house for a week now, which is wearing us all out! Mason is used to being on the go with me during the week and then school Tuesday and Thursday but combine no school this week, with me not being able to drive or pick him up, we have had quite the week....I can not wait until next week when he goes back to school and gets some normalcy back into his world. He's been great with Sutton for the most part. He is a very sweet brother and always very aware of where Sutton is. He gives him the pacifier by shoving it into his mouth of course and really wants to help with the bottle, by spinning it in circles, ha. When Sutton is laying on the mat, mason has to as well, but has to be covered up by his own blanket which I have to do pretty much 100000000 times. Poor Sutton already! It's been so hot too that even being outside hasn't been very enjoyable or easy. I'm really tired of being at home. I'm not good at this at all!  But I know I need to take it easy and let my body heal properly even though I feel pretty good. My recovery has been completely different than the last one and I'm so thankful for feeling good.
Sutton is changing every day. He has big blue eyes and is starting to really look around and notice his world. He wakes every four hours on the dot. He is still sleeping most of the day waking to eat and be awake just for a bit. I'd say he likes his swing, but Mason tries to unbuckle him every chance he gets, or turn the music off, or just plain bug him so I'm not sure it's that enjoyable of an experience for him.
Mason had his 18 month appointment this week. He weighs 23 pounds and is 32.9 inches long. He has new words every day. He is sleeping good right now too! Thank the Lord.
