The new normal!



Well, life with two beautiful blessed boys is going really good. If I would allow it Sam would hold Mattias all day everyday. He is very helpful. He wants to help with everything. He likes to burp Mattias and helps get me whatever I need for Mattias when my hands are too full. The best thing has been that I have put Mattias on a feeding schedule of every three hours during the day and as of late, in the evenings he has been eating every two hours. Then he is in bed by about 11pm and sleeps til around 8am. Sam has started sleeping through the night finally. So even though there is a newborn in the home, we are sleeping better then when Mattias wasn't here. The last three weeks have flown by so fast. I can't believe in some ways Mattias is already 22 days old and in other ways it seems like he has always been here. Sometimes I just take a moment to think in the moment. What is going on in my life; what my life has become is what I dreamed of when I was a little girl.

"Justin and Jen sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage!"

My husband has become more of the man of dreams then the day I married him. My first born son Samuel is so tender, kind, loving and thoughtful. And my newest son Mattias is calm, relaxed, and curious. I live in a home where one day I will be surrounded by Godly men and leaders for His kingdom....what a joy and what an incredible responsibility I have as there mother and Justin and I have as their parents.
"Thank-you Lord for trusting us with that task with your children you have given to us." Amen
