So...I have been greatly neglecting my email, facebook, and blog since last Wednesday. Every time I get on the computer my eyes start to shut. So after five days, I am proud to introduce my son!
Simeon David Coulter was born on August 5, 2009 at 8:01 am.
He weighed 8 lbs and was 20.75 inches long. He is absolutely perfect!
When Simeon is sleeping he looks just like Elijah. When he opens his eyes he looks completely different! He is beautiful and I already love him so much! He is a really easy baby so far. (Aside from one night in the hospital where he was super cranky and refusing to nurse) He seems to have mastered nursing pretty well and is sleeping like a champ! Matt and I forgot how much little babies sleep! He will wake up for maybe ten or fifteen minutes and then just dozes right back off to sleep, no matter what is going on. Its really sweet! I love to just hold him and marvel at his little nose, hands, his chubby cheeks, and his sweet smell.
Elijah loves his baby brother so much. He is really sweet and very gentle with him. He gets so concerned when Simeon cries and has got really good at giving him his paci or talking to calm him down. He loves to kiss Sim, rub his head, and hold him. Although Eli is super sweet and loves Simeon, I can tell he is dealing with all the adjustments and changes in his life. He seems to be a little more on edge and stressed. I've been trying to include him in everything that goes along with caring for a new baby, as well as giving him as much one on one attention as I can, when I can. He really is doing great!
Things are going well and Matt and I seem to be much more relaxed about things this time than we were when Elijah was born. However...Matt hasn't gone back to work yet. He has worked some from home while the rest of us nap but has been here to help me all the rest of the time. I've been so thankful for this! He goes back to work on Wednesday and I am so nervous to have both kids by myself. I am still really sore and on pain medication and extremely tired. My body just hasn't seemed to quite bounce back yet...especially in the sleep department. I can't seem to sleep well at night and then am totally exhausted by morning. I'm sure everything will be fine, but I am nervous for how Eli is going to do when I have to feed the baby and Matt isn't here to entertain him. I will just have to get a little more organized as we discover what our new routine will look like. Matt has been so amazing and such a loving and supportive husband who continues to love and serve me during this time of healing and transition. He is also such an incredible Daddy. I love to watch him love on and care for our boys!
Life is good right now! Tiring ---but incredibly amazing. Matt and I continue to feel so blessed to have one another and two amazing sons.
Speaking of tiredness...I was suppose to be in bed 30 minutes ago! Good night!
