What can I call this Friday post? It’s really hard to find the right word to fit this whole idea
If you look up Frenzy…here’s the definition:
- out-of-control behavior: a state of uncontrolled activity, agitation, or emotion
- burst of activity: a burst of energetic activity
- mental illness: a temporary period of symptoms of a psychiatric disorder.
I don’t know if I like the first and last definition. 😛 So anyone out there who’s super in finding the right words to call my Friday post willing to take a shot? The winner will receive $75 off photo shoot in the Spring 2012. Leave a comment below the post. And I will announce the winner sometime next week.
So back to the every days of life. It’s been almost 2 weeks since our little Ollie arrived. I seriously thought that it’s been months since we’ve had him. That could be due to sleep depravation. I don’t quite remember having to wake up as much as I have during the first week. Some how that’s erased from my memory from having two newborns in the past. I know that God some how makes us forget these things…am I alone in this?
How is it possible that this little guy cannot stand to be away from me? I almost want to make some of my shirts into a blanket and just wrap him in it for a time being, so that he would at least think that I’m holding him. Then a friend mentioned to enjoy the moments because it is short. I think about that and look at Chloe and she’ll be turning 5 next month. I remember bring her little tiny 5 lbs. 12 oz. home the day before Christmas. I am enjoying the late night stares Ollie and I have with each other. Then a miracle happened yesterday that I was able to put him down for a couple of hours at a time so I could get some things done around here. And even now, as I type this (Wednesday morning) having my cup of coffee on the right side of my computer, he sleeps in his car seat so peacefully. I don’t know why he prefers that seat than lying on his back in his bassinet. But, it works for him and I can do some chores here and there.
Life with a newborn…is a little scary at first…life with a newborn, a three year old and an almost five year old….uhh…an exciting adventure. I wouldn’t have it any different. Thankful most of all for my amazing hubby Shay for all the workload he did while he was home for the past week and a half. You are an amazing Papa to our little ones and amazing husband. I dearly love you.

Eeek! He’s so cute, I can hardly stand it!
I totally hear ya about the forgetting how tired we are in the first few weeks of our babies lives…I think it’s God having mercy on us 😉 also, it helps us to be willing to do it again.
My girls were the same way as your precious Ollie when it came to sleep…something to consider for why he may like sleeping in the car seat is maybe he has a bit of reflux (& sleeps better propped up in incline position, it prevents the burn), or he likes how cozy & cradled he is in it 🙂
Your pics of him are so precious & I love all the knitted hats and blankets. Congratulations again Irene on your little blessing.
I like frenzy. The second definition is perfect for you (though the third definition is perfect for me!).
oh my goodness he is so cute!!!
