Happy Friday!

I'm so happy it's the weekend. Weekends mean that Donnie's home to help with the peanut! Actually, Donnie was home today, so we got a jump start on the weekend. Things at his work are REALLY slow. That's bad news in terms of money coming in, but great news that he's home more to help out!
I have to say this whole mothering thing is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be. I think the hardest part is the lack of sleep. If I can get 4 solid hours of sleep, I think I have hit the jackpot! I would say the next hardest part is that I have no idea what I'm doing! Sure I have read all the books, but once the baby is in my arms I'm clueless. Donnie says if everyone one is alive at the end of the day, the day has been a success. I think that's good advice.
Now that my mom is back from vacation, she has been coming over to help almost everyday. This has been super helpful. And Josiah loves it, because she will not let him cry like Donnie and I do! :-)
Enjoy the pictures!

He's looking good and Donnie is 100% correct. At the end of the day as long as you're healthy and happy. It's been a good day! Keep up the good work you two!

What a beautiful grandmother! It's amazing how precious sleep becomes when a baby is born...
