First Week with Two

Anson and I survived our first week with two kids under two. It sure is challenging. And to top it off, my C-section incision wound split open (sorry if that's graphic) after I got my staples taken out so I'm in a lot of pain and can't do as much as I'd like to. Good thing Anson's mom and my parents were here to help us out!

I have to have a vacuum hooked up to me to drain out all the fluid from my wound. It's a machine I have to wear 24/7 for several weeks, maybe months. It stinks! I'm on some pretty powerful drugs to keep me from feeling it. Poor Anson has to help me change my bandages until I get my vacuum, which should be on Tuesday.

Here are some pics from this past week... (no c-section pics for the record)

Lily holding her baby brother for a second...before she started pushing him away.

Lily won't drink water unless it's from my big cup that I got at the hospital or her Papa's big water bottle. This bottle is as big as she is!

Grandpa Cross drove up on Thursday to see Dillon and take Grammy Cross back home. They left early this morning.
When Lily saw this picture she said "Grammy!"

Since there were a lot of cameras around this week, Lily decided to pretend to take photos with Grammy's camera. I told Anson we need to dig out an old 35mm camera for her to play with.

One week old photo! The sign says "I'm 1 week old today. 3/13/09. (Friday the 13th) (My due date). His shirt says "New in Town."

First tummy time! He's very strong. He already has pretty good control of his head. He picks it up and moves it around a lot.

Today we made it to Babies R Us. My co-workers got us a bunch of gift cards and it seems like we've been trying to go there all week, but for one reason or another we never made it there until today. We got Lily's potty so I can start potty training her. We got her a step stool so she can see into the pack n play. She was climbing up the side to see Dillon. We got another diaper pale for downstairs. We got Lily a "Big Sister" shirt. And other stuff we needed. It was fun to get out. Before we went we stopped at Chick fil a for dinner. Yum yum!
