Catching Up

Our Boys: God is so great!!! Colt and I are loving our family of four! Our boys are the sweetest cutest boys EVER! Parker really loves Beckett and always gives him kisses and plays with his toes. I love watching them together! Beckett is so sweet and is eating and sleeping great! 

This Weekend... we spent some really good family time together! Parker was going stir crazy in the house so we took him to the park on Friday and then on Saturday we took him to Colt's parents pool. The Bailey family joined us for both outings! Parker had so much fun and Beckett slept through it all. Today, we went to the grocery store - which was so funny because we had to get two baskets - one for the boys and one for the groceries. 

Last Week: When we got home from the hospital my mom and sisters stayed with us until Friday. They were SO helpful - they played and played with Parker and kept our house, dishes, and laundry clean! We are SO thankful for them. I think they were pretty worn out when they left;) Parker goes nonstop! My Mom is coming back tomorrow to spend a few more days! 

Doctor Appointments: Beckett's one week appointment went great! He weighed 6 Pounds 6 Ounces! My appointment however did not go as well... My blood pressure was still high. The doctor added to my medication and had me buy a cuff to check my blood pressure at home. They good news is the medicine is working! I am now checking my blood pressure often throughout the day.  I would really appreciate more prayers that it would lower on its own. High blood pressure is serious for anyone but apparently it is more serious after you have a baby. The good thing is that I do feel good - so that is a blessing!!

Getting us HOME!

I feel like I have so much I want to write about... but I am going to 'try' and give the shortened version...

Colt and I are just in awe over our sweet Beckett! God is so GREAT!! Thank you SO much for your prayers.  I was worried about him being delivered at 37 weeks and if he was ready - he could not have been more ready or more perfect! He is so sweet and we cannot give him enough love!! 

Labor and delivery went wonderful... but after delivery instead of my blood pressure going back down to normal, it started going up... My doctor even had me stay in the hospital an extra day and a half... and let me tell you that was SO stressful!!! I am on medication to lower my blood pressure, and I'm taking it easy at home and I go back Friday morning to have it checked again.  I would REALLY appreciate your prayers that my blood pressure has gone down and that I would not be so anxious about it.

Parker did great while we were at the hospital!! We have never spent the night away from him so four nights was a long time for his Mama;) But, he did great and got SO much love and attention! I am very thankful for all of his grandparents! He also spent a lot of time at the hospital with us and was so good and sweet! I was so surprised that he was not a crazy man there:) He is already the best big brother is so sweet and gentle with his baby brother! I love seeing them together!! 

We are so thankful to be at home with our boys!! I will blog more on that soon!
