The Baker Boys Are Here!: A Few Firsts (PIP heavy)! :)

It's so hard to keep up with all of their "firsts". I try to get a picture of all the big stuff, but there are little things, like their first smiles I've missed. They've yet to have a real smile...just those ones that are supposedly from gas. Maybe I'll be able to catch the first "real" smile!

Their first night home: What a crazy evening that was for me! The boys did great, but me? I was a huge mess. My family was here when we got home and his mom & aunt came shortly after. I was so overwhelmed. When my family left, I ended up breaking down and sobbing hysterically. I cried for 45 minutes and made myself sick. Kevin and my sister finally convinced me to lay down for a few hours. And of course, I felt guilty for that and felt like I missed their entire first night home. :( I tell ya, there's so much you feel guilty for when you're a mother!

This picture is before bedtime the first night. They loved the swaddles for only a short time! haha!

Kevin's mom stayed with us for the first three nights. She was amazing. I couldn't have asked for better. She did so much. She kept the apartment clean, kept bottles washed and if I needed something she got it for me. When we came home from the boys' first pediatrician's appointment she had cleaned the entire apartment, even our toilets! I could have cried.

This picture is from the morning she left. Her dad had came by, so the boys got to meet their Great-Grandfather! He was so proud of them. It made me so happy! The little girl is Kevin's sister's daughter, Makayla. She loved the boys, too! :)

This picture is from when they met Kevin's mamaw, their Great-Grandmother for the first time. :) The boys are extremely blessed with grandparents. They have four grandparents, two great-grandparents and even have TWO great-great grandmothers. You don't find that that often these days! I can't wait to get a picture of them with their great-great grandmothers!
