Day 4

If I had to write this blog 7 weeks ago it would be totally different! Our nights used to consist of cooking dinner and relaxing on the couch with foot rubs and catching up on each others day or going out to dinner and riding around on the ranch or hanging out with friends and going dancing. Hour long bubble baths, a good magazine to read or more foot rubs:) Now it totally revolves around an adorable chubby 7 week old that melts our hearts and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Jones has a fussy time and it usually starts when daddy gets home. It's not a colic fuss just a, "I need lots of love and attention and cuddles and lots of food fuss!" Which usually has me sitting in a rocking chair nursing for 4 hours with a few 20 minutes break in between. In those 20 minutes throughout the night I can hand Jones to Cody for some snuggle time. It gives me a little break to do what I need to do but usually I just sit there and stare at my two wonderful boys.

Jones loves loves loves his baths and gets one every other night and on the off nights we dunk him in the water because he loves it so much. Jones also likes his quiet time at nights too. We usually keep the lights dim and talk soft to him and not get him all wired up playing or tickling him like we do during the day. I am pretty sure this helps him not get his nights and days mixed up and sleep 7 hours for momma! We still have time for foot rubs just not as often. We still get dinner cooked but maybe not as gourmet or fancy as it used to be. We still take our drives around the ranch when it's not so cold out. We still get to go out and eat but maybe not at our quiet fancy place. And we will still be able to go hang out with friends and go dancing when he gets a little bit older. Really, our nights haven't changed that much except now we have a lil' buddy to join us and more love to share. This has been the hardest job we have ever had but it's so worth it. Soon Jones will be older and not need or depend on us as much as he does now. That's sad to think about so we are just taking it all in and enjoying every minute of it.
