We didn't have time to type anything before about Sawyer's enterance into the world. Now that he is sleeping and Audrey is out with Daddy I will fill you all in. Sawyer arrived at 12:29 am on Tuesday, November 6. He weighed 7 lbs 10 oz and was 21 in long, a whole inch and a half shorter than his big sis! We went into the hospital at 7:00 and Tuesday night and the hooked me up to some pitocin to get the contractions to be a little stronger. That pitocin is a miracle worker because a few short hours and two pushes later Sawyer arrived! We only stayed in the hospital for 36 hours and then came home.
Our first few days have been typical. Not much sleep but much better the second time around. It is much easier when you actually know what you're doing. But I will say, having two kids is a whole new ball game. Audrey has been very good. She did come down with the stomach flu the day we came home so we had to ship her back to grandma's for 24 hours. We felt bad but I don't think she minded too much. She is better now and loves her baby brother. She reads to him, holds him, and talks to him a lot. We've had our few jealous moments but not too bad yet.
