Family of four for a fortnight

It's been two weeks. It hasn't gone fast or slow, it's just been good. Logan got paternity leave so I got to rest a lot the first week and sort of ease into being on my own with the kids. Which was AMAZING! I am soooo blessed!! We even got to go out to our local state park and to the zoo. I'm bummed that he couldn't have a longer little vacation but I guess that's always the way with holidays :)
We went to Katelyn's two week check-up this morning and pretty much got two thumbs up. The doc said she looks healthy and that the stuffiness we were worried might have been a cold is way more likely just newborn stuffiness. At birth little miss was 8lbs 2oz and just about 20in long, today she weighed in at 8lbs 14oz and measured 20.5 inches long.






She sure is a cutie :)











After the appointment we went to the lab to get Katie's heel pricked. She was not too happy but Rowan was right there patting and petting her head saying, "It's okay Katie" over and over. It was really sweet. Beforehand he kept asking the lab tech "Rowan watch Katie get a poke?" he's a good brother :) Once that was done we went outside to walk around a bit because the weather was lovely.
Some of Rowan's favorite things to do at the hospital are to look at the swans, ducks, and geese as well as the fish and the fountains out in the small lake there. But I think his very favorite these days is playing Poohsticks. Logan and he played it a couple times during some of my various prenatal appointments. Today was my first time, it was a good day for it.


By the time we finished a few rounds Katie was hungry so I found a bench and fed her (hooray for breastfeeding :D another huuuge blessing!). Rowan wandered and played until I was done then we posed for some mama and kids pictures. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to take our picture functionally and they look pretty good too!










I am so so happy to have two beautiful, healthy children!
These pictures make me think of part of I Could Sing of Your Love Forever (as we used to sing back at my old church)

Oh I feel like dancing, it's foolishness I know...
and I have so much to sing about
and I have so much to dance about
and I have so much to shout about
and I have so much sooo much

I thank God constantly for the rich and abundant blessings that He's given me. I thank Him even more that my blessings, my amazing husband and wonderful children, are not just for me. I get to share with my parents, Logan's parents, our kids' godparents, and all the rest of our family and friends!!
