Mama of Two
On May 12th our little boy Finnegan Todd was born. I haven't been blogging much at all since then. Things have been busy, not so much hectic but learning the ropes of being a mama of two. Finn is a great baby. He cries when he needs to let us know something, but for the most part he is pretty content and we are quite blessed.
Braeden is enjoying AND adjusting to being a big brother. He enjoys his baby brother, but isn't always keen on sharing me, fortunately he only takes it out on me and not on the baby. Unfortunately, it breaks my heart even though I know this will pass and he doesn't mean everything he says.
Yesterday Brae had surgery. He had his adenoids taken out. The surgeon came out and told us it was really great that we had them taken out because it turns out they were rather enlarged, had green mucous and pus coming out of them. Bleck! With that being said once he gets through this healing process we're hoping for major improvements in his health. Now that infectious elements have been removed he should be able to breathe better and should get less sinus infections/headaches. I'm praying it all turns out good. Last night was really rough for him. He spiked a fever and was in a great deal of pain before we were allowed to administer the pain medicine again. Needless to say he is taking time to actually sleep this morning.
For Brian and I it has been difficult taking care of a newborn (3 weeks old today) and a five-year-old in pain. But we're enduring and knowing that this too shall pass. For me..well I am exhausted and losing whatever is left of my sanity but I know the boys will grow up too fast and someday won't need me to take care of them...so that puts the exhaustion and chaos into perspective a little bit.
And now it's time to stop blogging. My boys need me. And I need them.
