The Latest News and some Great Photos

So I find myself lately trying to catch up on everything from the constant battle of baby laundry to doctors appointments to finishing Hank's announcements... at times it seems a bit crazy, but we are starting to get things in order. I may not get to my daily shower until 2:00, but at least I get to it. :) So Hank is doing okay with his routine. We find that if we throw a wrench in the system that it seems to catch him off guard. He is on a solid schedule now of 4am, 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 10pm, and then he will sleep until the next 4am. It seems that he is pretty regular and sometimes right to the minute of that hour he will wake up. I'm just glad he is on any type of schedule, as it just seems to make things easier.
So the biggest help has been having Ty at home. I love that he has had so much time off to help out with Hank. It really has been the most time we have ever spent with each other since our honeymoon. So great!!!
So my 25th birthday is this coming Friday... you almost seem to forget things that seemed so important to you before. But, being that this is still my day... I believe that I will still spend it at home, with the 2 best guys I know... my hubby and my son. And I would love more than anything, a home made cake... hold the chocolate! I never thought I would say that, but it doesn't agree with Hank's tummy, and the sleep that I will lose, would not be worth the flavor.
So I wanted to include this teaser photo of Hank as part of the photos that will go out for his birth announcements. Enjoy. Love to all, and thank you again for your prayers as we are still learning what "good" parenting is all about.

Hank's Homecoming and Halloween

So after trying to get settled into our home with our first baby... I might just say that we have both found ourselves at one point or another, deliriously exhausted. :) I happen to have these few moments as Hank is asleep to try and blog (which at times can take me 10 - 15 minutes).
So I guess I am saying that I really hope you enjoy my blogging, because my time is becoming more and more valuable. And I blog for you... :) definitely not for me. :) So anyhow. Hank is so adorable, and at times being a parent is hard. I am so glad that Tyler has this time off to be with me.
I am healing extremely well for having a c-section. I have been "up - and - at - em" since day 2. I find that the healing process has been pretty good, but I probably should have taken some time to slow down and recover... which is just not like me. :)
Well I wanted to share some photos of our beautiful baby boy, and include some from Halloween. Love to all!!! Thanks for your prayers and your gifts!
Love, Lindsey, Tyler, & Hank.
