Hawaii Babies

Baby Grayson John is here!

Thanks Lori for posting below. It seems like I have NO time now with two little ones around here! I'll share his birth story once I get a chance to type it up, will probably post it to my blog and c/p it here too. He was a BIG baby (well compared to my tiny girl!) 8lbs 11 oz and 21 inches. He was born at 11:44am on Saturday. We came home yesterday and are trying to adjust. Bella is really interested in everything he does and when he cries she says "all done" :) She also says no to everything! I think she's adjusting to him, to us leaving her in the middle of the night and waking up to my FIL, and to my SIL having her for a couple of days while we were in the hospital. As for Grayson John, he's nursing like a champ every 30 mins-2 hrs, he's a BIG eater and doesn't plan to miss a meal!

As many of you know, my dad was suddenly very ill and he passed away on the 10th, so I've had very little time to grieve, which is a bit challenging. I don't think it's fully hit me yet that all of that happened... I had JUST talked to my dad on the phone multiple times on Tuesday so I think I'm still in shock and it still seems like a nightmare... I'm not sure how to fully grieve now...

 That said, we changed our initial plan for his mn and changed it to my dad's fn, John.  So now he's Grayson John :)

    But congrats on a strong, healthy, big baby! It's sweet that you guys changed his middle name to your dad's name.

  • Hi Sarah, I am glad you don't mind that I posted below...I know we've all been thinking of you and wanted to the let the girls know that baby Grayson was here!

    I bawled my eyes out when I saw your FB pics...I am so glad he's nursing like a champ and that you're settling into life with two kiddos...cannot wait to read your birth story when you've posted it and just to hear how it's going with two littles.

    I cannot even imagine what the past couple of weeks have been like for you...and you're right, you'll need to grieve in the midst of the great joy that has come with Grayson's birth. Be good to yourself. Let yourself cry when you need to...we are all here to lend a shoulder. (((BIG HUGS)))

  • congrats again :)  i think that changing his middle name to John is a great way to remember your father.

    re: bella saying no to everything.... if you have made it thus far w/o her saying that all the time then consider yourself lucky!!! ever since Miss A was 14 months old, her answer to everything is NO!!! even if she means yes she'll say no and then ask for whatever it is, as if she never said no in the first place LOL

  • congrats!  I'm sorry for the recent losses in your family, I think the middle name is a wonderful tribute! 

  • congratulations Sarah!!  I've been thinking of you often, it's been SUCH a rough few weeks for you!  I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.  I think honoring him with Grayson's name is perfect.  take good care of yourself!
