More hospital photos

Well, I thought I'd have all this time on my hands just sitting around, recovering how I'm supposed to...then I realized I still have an incredibly active and loving (aka needy) 2 year old! We're trying to get back into some sort of reality around here and I'm finally getting a moment to upload some more pictures.

Daddy and his boys! Tyler 22 months, Jacob 2 hours ;)

Our little family of FOUR! Loving life (and terrible hospital pictures)

Hello world! Look out- I'm here to stay. Yes, he has lots of hair- and I love it!

I can't believe it has almost been a week already. In some ways it seems like much longer, other times it seems like I just had this little boy. Ryan and I are still in denial that he is really ours. I think the whole planned c-section thing made it seem like it was just a medical procedure so it didn't have the whole time of labor to sink in. However, it was really neat having number two and realizing a little bit more what it means. I got to see the look of a proud dad in Ryan's eyes again the second Jacob was born and started crying. Right then I knew it would be okay, even if things might be incredibly difficult at times also.

Father and son bonding time. Poor Ryan had this horribly uncomfortable couch thing to sleep on. But it was worth it to be with us of course.

Mother and son- just hanging out together. You can see a little corner of Jacob's quilt made by daddy.

We have been home since Friday afternoon. My hospital experience wasn't quite what I had hoped it would be. Basically the nurses stink and don't take care of you anyway so we thought we'd rather be at home with Tyler and that's exactly what we did.

VISITORS :)

Getting love from cousin Maddy and Grandma Denos
Aunt Sarah practicing for her own little girl any day now!
Cousin Ben and big brother getting in some love (and pokes)
Sweet Jolee from the ward wanted to come with her mommy to visit our little guy. She was so sweet with Jacob. Adrienne has taken excellent care of us- and brought some delicious cookies to help sustain us when the hospital food was pretty nasty.

Tyler is adjusting to his little brother. So far he has actually been an angel (mostly). He likes to ask for "turn" to hold his brother. He likes to point out his body parts. He is excellent at giving kisses. Tyler is a little too interested sometimes. One night he even stood up in bed as I was singing his lullaby to him saying "baby" because Jacob was crying. Tyler wouldn't lay down until Jacob stopped crying. It's nice that we have been so blessed so far...I'm just waiting for reality to hit :)

So much fun so far. I love the cuddles and everything that goes with it. We've had very few rough moments so far and I'm hoping it continues that way. Today was a little rough for Jacob- the big "C" at the doc. Ryan and I both stayed in the room for the procedure. The Dr. said only one of us needed to be there but we couldn't decide who would hold less of a grudge so we both stayed...it was pretty horrible, but it's done. Sweet Jacob as been sleeping all day since then and I hope he forgives me some day!

Enjoy the pictures for now. We'll look for another opportunity to post soon!
