Returning to "Normal"

The girls went to my parents house in Northern California for a week. 

They returned late last night with Todd. We are now trying to adjust to having 4 

children around. It has been a little challenging

but not to bad. Then again it's only been less then 24 hours.

 Todd is back from NYC and back at

the office next week. No more working from home or half day's at the office.

 So it looks like I'm on my own. You wont be crying for me after

you read the rest of this post. But still...

WISH ME LUCK!!!

I had a very relaxing week with Todd and the girls away and just my little boys.  

My friend from high school Caroline

came out for a few days to keep me company.

She "sacrificed" being with her kids to come out and go to

lunch with me. Do a little shopping at the mall. Make waffles for Preston. Watch movies and talk, talk, talk. 

It was so fun!

I was so grateful to friends who took Preston on play-dates so we could do all those fun things. It would not have been the same with him in tow!

I wish I could say I took a ton of pictures but no, not one. 

We were so busy relaxing I guess. 

On to Davis, he is now 17 day's old. I weighed him on my scale and he was 

9 pounds 3 ounces! He is waking up more and smiling. He is sleeping the days and nights away still and enjoys being cuddled by all the family members.

We are loving him!

A sleepy smile. I know you want to eat him up, right!

Twins 8 Years Apart

Todd and I couldn't get over how much Davis looks like Sydney when she was born. It is hard to tell from photos just how much they resemble each other but it is very apparent to us. We actually had a hard time naming him because we would look at him and think "Sydney"!

See for yourself. 

Note that Davis was born over a pound bigger than Sydney.

Sydney 5 Days old. 

Davis 4 Days old. 

I guess we only produce 2 different versions as I have called Bella and Preston twins for years now. 

On another note, I'm probably going to jinx myself but I have to say Davis has been such a great baby! He eats well, sleeps well and seems to be adjusting to our family really well. We have been so happy and relaxed. I really hope it stays this way. 

I feel so spoiled and lucky that Todd and my parents have been home to take care of me. What mother of 4 has this much time to relax and recover. I have also "allowed" myself this special time. I didn't do that with the other three. I thought it was more important to get up and start doing for everyone again as fast as possible. At least I can say I learned something over the past 8 years!

Davis Todd Wilson

Baby Davis (or "Mr. Davis" as Bella likes to say) arrived this past Wednesday (June 9, 2010) at 6:16 p.m. He weighed 8 lb. 9 oz. and 21 inches tall at birth and is doing great. Katy is doing great to. Here's are a few pictures:
