It's been a while since my last blog entry, but I have a great excuse....our little man, Knox Christopher Hendrick, has arrived! I'll start by saying, labor was NO fun. With Cadence it was a breeze, but the 2nd go around wasn't as easy. Knox arrived on 2/1/12 at 7 lbs, 5 oz and 21 1/2 inches long.
I really took advantage of the hospital stay this time, savoring every bite, of every hot meal they brought me. As a mom of two young kids, I was certain I wouldn't have time to eat (and I was right). Not much time to shower or sleep either...
I was a little more confident bringing him home, because I knew what to expect; Sure enough, the first day home, he slept all day and was awake all night. Day 2, the same, and miraculously on day 3, he slept for 2-3 hr periods during the night. He's been on schedule ever since. His first Dr visit, he was 8 days old and had gained 15 oz since leaving the hospital; almost a full pd! A healthy, calm little boy, with the proudest big sister ever.
(Segway to Cadence) She is in LOVE with him. I have to constantly tell her to stop kissing him. She is always kissing him and telling me she loves him. He loves when she sings to him. She's been teaching him how to play with his toys. She's a little jealous, but it's definitley outweighed by her fascination with him. I couldn't be more happy than when I see them together. The loves of my life...
