Baby number two is here!

Well, he is here and in just 15 minutes he was able to steal our hearts completely. One look at my new son and all the fear and anxiety that I have harbored over the past couple of days has dissipated. I look at him and realize that this is a different little boy with already different mannerisms and habits from my oldest son. He has many similar features as well as his own individual features and the love I feel for him is beyond words and description. My biggest concern now is what happens when I go home today. He has already met his big brother and I must say that the interaction was fairly uneventful. I can only pray that things go well once all four of us are home together as one big happy family.

I do anticipate a slight struggle with the bottle situation as Nicholas has seemed to regress while visiting us in the hospital. All of a sudden the small Enfamil bottle (that he hasn’t used since he was about 2 months old) was all that he wanted. He cried and reached for the bottle, but I was able to appease him with real food. That is only indicative of things to come, but I am prepared. I truly believe that I will conquer this struggle with love and understanding in my role as super-mommy ( I know I am just setting myself up for failure but one can dream).

Well, I will keep it short and sweet and get back to my men but I will have lots to talk about in the weeks to come. Wish me luck.
