We made it home!

Sorry to leave everyone hanging for a few days. We made it home on Friday, but it was a crazy busy weekend and I am just now able to sit down and post an update. They released us both from the hospital Friday morning and we were home by lunch. Blake has been wonderful! He is still in the newborn sleepy stage, which has allowed mommy to recover and get back to "normal". Saturday Aunt Tara, Aunt Paige, and Bailey came to visit. Sleepy mommy forgot to get pictures :( Stephanie enjoyed Bailey visiting since it is a rare occasion that she gets to play with another girl. Then for Mothers Day we went to Bradleys parents house and had a yummy lunch. There was a lot of family there so Blake got lots of attention.

He is doing sooo well! He is a totally different baby than Stephanie was. He is content to be left alone, wide awake or asleep. He only cries when he is hungry. So far he is sleeping 3 hour stretches at night and only waking long enough to eat, get a diaper change, and then sleep some more. We are working on keeping him awake during the day and in the bright lights so he doesn't get his days and nights mixed up. Over all he is a wonderful baby!!

Stephanie is doing great also. She is absolutely in LOVE with her brother! She can't stand for him to cry and will get upset if she can't make him stop. She is in "charge" of his paci and knows to give it to him when he cries and is great at her "job". There have been moments where she acts out because she wants something and I or Bradley can't help her, but those are usually late in the evening or right before nap time when she is a little tired and cranky to begin with. I can't wait for him to get a little bigger when he can pay more attention to her and interact...she is soooo ready to play with him!

Pics coming soon....sorry, I can only do so much :)

Welcome Blake Prescott Widner

Blake Prescott Widner made his appearance on may 6, 2009 at 3:44PM. He weighed in at 7lbs8oz and was 20.5 inches long. He is perfect and pink and scored great on all his initial tests!










Stephanie was the first in the room to meet him. She was instantly in love, telling anyone else who entered that he was "Her Blake" and to be gentle.











Our first family picture as a family of four!!













Getting his hair washed...it took two times. Bradley said he did not like this part at all!!!












Bradleys parents with all their grandchildren. I didn't get any good photos of the other grandparents with Blake and Steph...but they look just as proud as these two. There will be pictures of them to come in the next few weeks I am sure!

Tomorrow is the big day!!!!

So tomorrow is my scheduled induction to meet my son! We have to be at the hospital at 7:00AM to get the process started. I am hoping that like Stephanie, Blake takes no time in getting here. It still seems so unreal that in less than 24 hrs. I will be a mother of two. Where has the time gone??? It seems just yesterday Bradley and I were going through months of trying just to have one child, and now we are blessed to have two! I cannot wait for Stephanie to meet her brother. She talks about him all time and wants to know when he is coming to live here. She will be staying with Bradley's parents during out hospital stay. She loves being over there so I have no worries about her. They will be bringing her to the hospital as much as possible so hopefully she can be included in as much as the hospital will allow. Bradley will be in charge of taking pictures and we will try and get some posted here when we can. I can't promise anything..but hopefully by the weekend everyone will have a glimpse into our family of four! Until then...please keep us in your prayers!
