Can I have a juicy thing?

So what's a juicy thing?....

Why it's a plum, of course.  And as you can tell they are very, very juicy!

After this plum, I learned to take his shirt off
when he eats a 'juicy thing'.

According to rumors...

I have always heard rumors that babies sleep.  I even read somewhere that when a newborn is tired you can't keep them awake and when they aren't, you can't put them to sleep.  Well I have plenty of experience with the second part of this adage but I have had no opportunity to see a baby who likes to sleep.  Until now.....

Marcus sleeps!  

He sleeps in your arms, in the Ergo, in a crib, in a bouncy seat and even with his brothers screaming in the same room!!  I feel like I am witnessing a miracle.  At night he will even go 3-4 hours between nursings.

So not only do I feel reborn from no longer being pregnant, I also don't have that haggard new mother exhausted feeling either.  Life is Good!!

39 weeks and 3 days....

At 8:24pm on Wednesday, May 30th Marcus Alexander was born.  He weighed 8 pounds, 12 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long.  His delivery was fast and hard starting around 3:15 that afternoon.  We are so grateful for a healthy, beautiful baby boy.

Big brothers Zach and Eli have welcomed him with open arms, lots of kisses and frequent requests to hold him.
