Ouchie All Better

Well, not 100%, but as of yesterday - my picking up Owen ban has been lifted. As Owen explained, "doctor say mama ouchie all better!" It seems like a short period of time and I'm sure after enough time passes, even I won't remember how hard it was...but 12 days without holding Owen was probably the toughest part of the first 2 weeks with a new baby. We both really missed each other.

We are still adjusting to our "new normal" and now that I can be there for him physically, it's almost more confusing to him when I say I can't hold him because Adam needs to eat (or any other reason.) We are starting to see the first signs of jealousy because now the reason I'm unavailable is Adam instead of my ouchie. I can imagine that the way he hears it now is that I have a choice of who I hold and sometimes I choose Adam instead of him. Mommy guilt is on overdrive right now.

However, he is doing amazingly well overall and is nothing but a sugar sweet boy. He seems to love Adam and gives him lots of kisses and hugs and pats. I have been trying to play with Owen more and be available to him whenever I can. Today we played trains for awhile and I took some pictures of him. I attempted a photo of the two of us and although it didn't turn out how I expected it to, I still kind of like it.
