Jackson is still our darling little boy. He's 17 months now. Wow does time fly. I think I write that in each blog post! I'm savoring every moment. He doesn't pay much attention to his sister and has showed some jealousy at the thought of having to share his mommy.
Carl took off 1 week after Tenley was born and we really enjoyed those first moments with our new family of 4 very much. The following week my Mom, sisters Julie (and her 2 kids, Jake & Emily), Michelle, and Rachel and brother Timmy, came to help for the week. It was very nice to have the help and we did really enjoy the company.
Today was the first day I'm officially on my own with both kids. When Jackson and I woke up, I was able to get him breakfast, changed him, read him a story and watched a tv show with him before Tenley woke up. I'm trying to spend quality time with him when she's sleeping so he knows I love him just as much! Then once she woke up I bathed her and fed her, then it was time for lunch. While taking care of her, Jackson was right there wanting me to hold him the entire time and whining. I know it's going to take him some time to get used to the fact that he now has to share me. Now both kids have been sleeping for 2 hours and are still asleep. This time has been nice to shower, throw in a load of laundry, answer emails and write this blog! Dinner was also delivered in that time. We have such dear friends who organized meals to be delivered to us every other day for nearly 3 weeks. I have really gotten used to not cooking because of it. But it really has been such a blessing. We also had Tenley's newborn photos taken over this past weekend and I will be posting them soon. They are just so precious!
Well I should wrap this up because Tenley is squeaking and I don't want her to wake up Jackson!
