It seems when you bring a new born home that the following days are a bit foggy. Days and nights run together and the normal routine of life you knew before is quickly thrown out the window as a new one starts to take shape. I knew with two older ones at home that I needed to provide some normalcy, yet be okay with the chaos that would probably come naturally for a bit. Our days have definitely looked a bit different since Carson has arrived, but they have been really good mostly and I hope my big boys enjoyed their last few weeks of summer... baby brother included :) I tend to get overwhelmed with people right after I have a baby. I like to hide away in my house with my family and just get to know my new little one and our new family dynamic. This means I don't leave the house much, answer my phone much, or even my door at times. I don't want to be rude, but I just need those first few weeks to adjust and love on my new babe. I have had some great help step in to keep Jaxon entertained and Austin even at times too. We've also just done a bit more creative playing inside and unfortunately a bit more TV/movie watching. When you are nursing every 2 hours it seems easiest at times to just put the movie on and sit with my kids to watch while I nurse. Even in these foggy days I've tried to make them fun for my big boys since it is their summer break! I am slowly feeling the fog rise and it's good to feel a bit more in a routine. School starts tomorrow and I know I am going to have to put my fog lights on to get a jump start back to the school year!!
domino walls... a fun morning activity :)
Carson tried out his floor play mat... and for the most liked it!
We've snuck in some great visitors here and there...
I have snuck in a few naps here and there too... :)
Carson has worked on his double chin...
Brothers have bonded...
We've made the most of baby nap times, backyard pool, and hot sunny days...
Carson even joined us outside a few days for picnic's and pool time :)
And we've made forts...inside and outside...a fort is always a welcomed fun project by boys!!

That is exactly how I felt after Vivian was born... I just wanted to hide out in our house, hold our new little one and let our new family of 3 take shape. I can't imagine the next will be any different. Thanks for sharing. A
