So I feel like Thankful Thursday will get a bit redundant, so let's switch it this week. Throwback Thursday - share a fun picture, story, or whatever that's a throwback! Or maybe something you remember as a kid that our kids won't know about. Whatever fits!

Re: Throwback Thursday
TBT to the day we brought Taylor home from the hospital! I was so worried the whole way home and we kept him so bundled up! He fell asleep in this chair and we both just sat there staring at him, not sure what to do. We both ended up sleeping on the living room floor that night with him in the seat or attempting to BF most of the night. It seemed so hard then but was such a precious night.

I had DS all bundled up for his first ride home since we live in Virginia and it was January. Walked out and it was warm! I told my husband he could have told me!
When we got home I realized we never cleaned and there was yucky dishes and tons of laundry. I just kept walking around with DS on my shoulder cleaning because I refused to put him down! Between pumping and feeding I don't think I slept much for the next couple of weeks. Still loved that time though!
Here is DD playing in the leaves last fall. This was the day she got her tubes put in. Came home and slept 4 hours and then went outside to play.
Here's an early fav! Can't believe she was ever so tiny.
DS didn't make his appearance until nearly midnight the next night. But he made it in time to be a New Year baby. ... a fact that tickled my grandmother because HER grandmother was a New Year baby.
He had an infection so we had to stay a couple days. I remember those days being like a dream. Quiet hallways... nurses to help me learn to breastfeed... just cut off entirely from reality. We finally got the all clear to go home on the 4th. He's so small!
A year later and he was so big!! He was sick with cold on his birthday so didn't really enjoy it at all. I'm looking forward to him having fun this year.
9 months later he became a big brother!
DD did not waste any time being born and did not make being born easy at all. The recovery from that experience was really hard physically and emotionally. I had flashbacks and 'what if' thoughts constantly. I felt guilty for not being able to not push when I was told to not push. Guilty for hurting her, she was so bruised.
But the bruises healed, my c/s scar is fading, and I'm thankful everyday for both of my beautiful children.
