i like alot of things about babies
at two months old
i love
the dimples on his knuckles.
that little neck that hides under his big cute face.
little hands and fingers that hold my finger.
bright blue big glossy eyes.
that nursing blister on his upper lip, just under the cupid's bow.
the shape of his mouth.
big jerky leg kicks.
baby scowls.
fat cheeks, little chin.
batting fists.
cooing.
eyelashes.
bald spots in the back.
big mustardy blowouts.
peaceful bathtime.
smiles.
sock fuzz between tiny toes.
baby breath.

my other man
gavin james is here and he's perfect.
and for this one, i was patient. i was patiently 9 months pregnant for once, ready to wait this baby boy out.
but. he was induced 7 days after my due date after an ultrasound revealed that the umbilical cord was tightly wrapped around his neck. my doctor said i was lucky to deliver him naturally, in most cases a cord that tight has to be delivered via c-section.
my labor was patient and painless for the first four hours, and not so much the second four hours. this was my easiest labor so far, not counting the magical "golden epidural" experience i had with my firstborn. there is no golden epidural in mexico. they basically just take the edge off of the pain with some dumb walking epidural. but you can't beat a four doctor team taking care of you, all for the low low price of 15000 pesos ($1200 US.) i suggested cj spend the difference on some jewels for the momma. (seems fair, doesn't it?) and he did! i love him.
the recovery has been slow but easy. my sweet mom took care of my demands for the first week after gavin was born, was going to leave, and then stayed an extra week. how could she resist me and my raging post-partum hormones (the crying,) my crazy demands, my perfectionism, my unrealistic expectations of order in my home, etc. thank you mom, for loving me when i am SO unloveable. my mom is like the #1 nurturer, if you know her, you know that. she reminded me to baby her baby, me. after my mumma left, my two maids stepped in (story to follow.) they have been heavensent. i actually have time to get ready daily, have a clean and organized home and am current on laundry, all with three babies under four years old and including a newborn. an anomaly, so i've heard.
our gavin was born with a head full of dark hair. he looks just like christian and charmed with with his sweetness from the moment we met, just like his daddy did.
he's 5 weeks old now, and starting to coo and smile. his look is changing from sleepy to awake, from smashed and wrinkled to wide eyed and chubby. his hands are inflating with fat by the day, and the little fat bands around his wrists are getting deeper. he let me sleep from 11pm-6am the last two nights in a row! i love him.
we couldn't be happier that he's here and he's been such an exciting addition to our little family. we love him so much and are already greedy for more.
