Mom

My mom is here for 2 weeks and she has already been such a big help. She has spoiled Aid rotten bringing with her little surprises to make him feel special. She has spoiled us rotten. She has helped with doing the dishes and straightening the house and even re-organizing my recipe book! And when we are both dead on our feet she is running around the house with Aid or reading him a book or watching a movie with him. She is doing everything we need her to do.

It is so comforting having my mom here through all of this. I don't have to worry about offending her if I am snappy from being over tired. I don't have to worry that I'm not keeping the house quite as clean as I usually do. I don't have to worry if she thinks I'm letting Aid watch too much tv at the moment. She is just here being supportive but not intrusive. She is giving advice without judgment if I don't follow it. She is being so hands on while giving us space as a new family.

I love you mom. Thanks for being here for me and for us....

New Additions

Well you all know by now that little Grant made his appearance in the world. It was a rough entry but we are all ok. Grant came face up instead of face down so I could not push him past my pelvic bone and after 2 1/2 hours of pushing he needed to be vacuumed out. Only that didn't go so well either and little Grant's head was beat up a bit in the process. But we eventually got him outta there and with us...

We are all tired and adjusting, but it honestly feels like he was supposed to be with us. I didn't even know anything was missing but somehow life feels even more complete then it did. It's a good time.

But the blog needed to evolve. It's not just Aidee anymore. I now have 2 Bures boys who are the most darling sweet natured things you have ever met. I considered having two separate blogs but it has become clear how much less time I have to be on the computer!

I was so worried all the way through this wondering how I would split my time, attention, and love. And what I have discovered is that it isn't very hard at all. That is not to say that we will not have kinks. I am anticipating them and have my girlfriends and family to see me through them. But my heart grew about 5 sizes bigger and there is more then enough room for both of them.
