Its hard that C doesn't take a bottle. It means that I can't leave him for a long period of time. Its hard to get me and Ben time because he is so dependent on me to feed him. I hope he will get better at taking a bottle.

C had an ultrasound on Wednesday. It looks like there is still water in his kidneys. There is more water in the left than the right. I wasn't able to compare with his last ultrasound so I am not sure if there is more, less, or the same amount of water as before. Please pray that the dr will have wisdom and know what to do about the water. What is causing it, if it needs to be fixed, and what we need to do. Its hard to see my baby go through this but I know he is in our Father's hands. This is all happening for a reason and to give glory to our Creator!

C is getting so big too fast. He is the happiest most laid back baby. He loves to laugh and smile when he sees Ben, Brother or me. B loves to talk to C and make him laugh and smile. B says hi to C in the morning, when C is sleeping and every time B walks in the same room as C. His smile melts my heart. I am so in love with him.

I have been thinking. I heard that with the first kid you are getting to know how to take care of a baby as well as getting to know your baby. With the second, you already know how to take care of a baby and all you have to know is get to know your baby. Although it is hard having two, its easier cause the second child learns how to fit in with the family. With the first child, your whole life changes as you try to adjust to a whole schedule change. I don't sit around, like I did with Brandon freaking out cause he is crying, didn't eat enough, or he isn't sleeping enough. I defiantly don't worry as much. I love having two boys! I was also thinking it is a lot to have nephews who are close in age with my boys. My sister has two boys, ages 2(almost 3) and 1, and my sister-in-law has a boy, 4 months, as well. Its fun to see them grow, play, and develop together. It will be so nice that they will all have someone to play with growing up.

I give a bath to Cannon before bed and he loves his bath time.

I have a Dr appointment on the 28th so we will find out stats on both boys then. I would say he is about 13-14 lbs. He is super long as well.

1 month

First of all I can't believe that it has been 1 month already. This month has been all about adjustment with 2, getting to know Cannon, and putting him on a schedule that works. Ben has been working 10+ hour days which is hard on me cause I take care of the boys all day by myself. It has been hard but worth it with Cannon in our family.

Cannon has always been pretty aware of everything around him since birth.
He loves when people talk to him.
He loves to be held.
He loves his brother's kisses (stops crying when Brandon kisses him).
He needs lots of sleep.

New
Within the last week, Cannon started smiling at us.

Differences in boys:
Brandon used to scream when I would switch sides while nursing, Cannon waits patiently. (Brandon to this day loves food!)
Brandon is so laid back, Cannon is laid back to a certain point but then lets you know when he wants something.
Brandon took 8 weeks to hold up his head, Cannon started holding up his on day 1.

I am loving the differences between m boys. God has made them both unique and special and so cool to see how different they will be.

Brandon has been such a big help to me. He gets me diapers, wipes, has started cleaning up his toys, and makes sure that I make time for him.

I love my boys!
