Brother and Sister

I have to say I am really pleased and surprised how good Alison is with her baby brother. She loves to hug him and kiss him and is so excited to see him when he wakes up. I was a little worried a few months ago when she was hitting her dolls and throwing them up in the air and stuff. She's much more gentle with Baby Andrew. One of her favorite things to do is look at her baby pictures. When she first saw them she would exclaim "baby brother!" I had to explain that it was her... they do a look a little alike as infants.

Andrew is doing well; eating, sleeping and going through diapers. Thankfully I am doing well too. We are past the 10 day mark which is where things really got bad last time. My doctor has been checking on me and he says I'm good and don't have to go back until my six week check up. I think if I'd known I should feel as good as I do this time around I would've been a little more concerned last time. OH well - hindsight.....

Most of the pictures I have of Andrew so far are closeups and you can't really see how big or little he is - so when I saw how tiny he looked next to Nick - I had to snap this "perspective" picture. I know 8 lbs 9 oz is a big baby - but he's still pretty tiny.

This is after his first bath. We're not used to having all this hair on a baby and he needs it washed~ He liked his second bath better than the first.

Not even a week old yet....

Here are some newer pictures of him - he looks less traumatized from the whole birth thing!

Here he is in his first ride in his car seat. Doesn't he look cozy? I love his little blue hat - they gave that too him at the hospital. I like to call it his thug hat.


Alison covered him up with her blanket while he was asleep in the bouncy chair. She's a good sharer!


It was nice and sunny today, so I took advantage of the natural light. I love that hair!!!

Welcome!!

He's here!

Andrew Gardner Webb made his appearance into the world at 7:52 PM, Jan. 31, 2008.
He weighed 8 lbs. 9 oz and was 20" long. And I might mention that even the doctor commented on how big his head was. OUCH!

He's darling and we all love him dearly. Here are a few pics of those first few days. He's looking less scrunched and traumatized now that we are home. Oh, don't worry - I'll post more pictures.

The delivery was pretty uneventful and I only had to push for 15 minutes - yay Yoga!! Things have been much more normal this time around and I just wanted to thank everyone for your prayers and positive thoughts and energy sent our way. We are so happy that so far recovery has been so much better than last time.

Here's his first photo!Proud parents!

Scrunchy face (Alison had this one perfected too)

Proud Papa - and notice Andrews head of black hair! WOW!

This is Alison's response to the question - Raise your hand if you love baby brother!

She has been so cute with him - she voluntarily hugs and kisses him any chance she can get. She really adores him, but it's still been a rough week for her. She finally took a nap today, I'm trying to go by the two week rule to get adjusted to all of this. It's new to everyone. But we are so happy and he's such a sweet baby. We can't seem to hold him enough.
