Meeting Isaac

By
Since Isaac was born in the evening we waited till the next day to have the kids meet him.  My mom brought Channing and Mckenzie in the morning to meet their new brother!  Their faces were a mixture of excitement, joy, and slight confusion.  Haha!  Channing wanted to hold Isaac right away and he still loves holding him.  






Our family of 5!  Don't you love how Mckenzie brought her own baby?
We did a 24 hour stay at the hospital and so we made it home around 8 or 9pm on Tuesday the 16th.  I love being able to order food whenever I want and being able to just focus on Isaac while at the hospital.  But there's nothing like sleeping in your own bed.  And boy was I tired! 
Welcome home Isaac!
Isaac, 3 days old. 




Mckenzie loves holding Isaac.  But you really gotta watch her!  When she's done holding him she'll just shove him off her lap.  

Three Hamilton boys!

And let the sleep deprivation begin!

Brothers... so cute.
I was really lucky and my mom stayed for about two weeks after Isaac was born.  I got to sleep in most mornings and take naps.  Heaven!  And sometimes she'd even bring me breakfast in bed!  Yes, I was completely spoiled.  And the kids loved having Justin home from work for a few days.  I could definitely tell that they missed Justin and Cici's attention when everyone left/went back to work.  Now they just have me!  We've been surviving since my mom left and Justin's back to work.  It helps that we don't go anywhere.  Getting up in the morning is the hardest.  But I'd say we're adjusting to having 3 kids pretty well!  These days consist of: feeding Isaac, changing diapers, making food, cleaning up spit up, doing laundry, doing more laundry, going on walks, and enjoying the warmer weather.

Happy Halloween!

By
I wanted to do a quick Halloween post so I won't ever forget how adorable Channing was.  He was a scarecrow this Halloween.  We used a pair of his overalls and I sewed on a few patches of material and then we stuffed his pockets with straw.  The paint on the nose thing didn't work so well...he rubbed it off the first time around.  Our ward did a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot.  Channing was a little skeptical about it all when we first started.  But he quickly got the hang of walking up to people, grabbing candy, and putting it in his bucket.  Someone gave him a sucker and he immediately had to have it!  At least he's easy to please!  Such a friendly scarecrow...had to say bye to the trick-or-treaters as they left.

My reality check

By
Remember how in my last few posts I talked about how we were teaching Channing to put himself back to sleep by letting him cry it out?  Since Channing has been sick for over a week that has all gone down the drain....  The poor kid is so congested all the time.  When we wakes up at night he usually will not take his binky and fall back asleep.  Instead he needs his nose suctioned, which usually requires Justin holding Channing's head still or it's impossible.  And lately he will not go back to sleep at all until he's fed again.  Last night it was every 3 hours.  I don't know if it's because his throat hurts or he just wants to be held.  Whatever the reason, nights have been a little rough around here.  Oh, and his naps during the day have been pretty bad.  Crying a lot before falling asleep and then only sleeping for 20 or 30 minutes.  Motherhood is definitely a 24/7 job.  With no lunch breaks.  And get this!  Channin...

60 Things I Love About My Mom

By
In honor of my mom turning 60 years old on February 5th I have written 60 things that I love about her. 1. My mom lives the gospel. 2. She taught me how to follow the prophet. 3. My mom loves to travel. 4. With each baby I had she took the time to be there.  And then stayed for at least a week following the birth to help me at home.  She even brought be breakfast in bed. 5. My mom always fulfills her calling.  I remember when she was Relief Society President she was gone on my 15th birthday at an Enrichment meeting.  I was a bit peeved about it.  But now when I think about it I am inspired by her ability to 100% fulfill her calling and show up for her fellow RS sisters. 6. She taught me how to cook.  We always had a vegetable on the plate. 7. She thoroughly adores her grandkids. 8. My mom can do hard things. 9. My mom is a RN which is no easy job.  I know her job is often stressful.  She's an amazing labor and delivery nurs...
