Happy St. Patty's Day

2 months old

 Time is flying by and this sweet boy is already 2 months old. He is so so sweet and growing way too fast. Greyson is a GREAT sleeper at night. He's been going to bed between 10-10:30 and sleeps until 6 or 7. His naps during the day are all over the place and he doesnt like to nap unless he's being held. I've spent a lot of time sitting on the couch with him sleeping on my chest so not a lot has gotten done around the house but I've gotten to cuddle with my sweet boy a ton! Greyson has started smiling and laughing this month and it's just too cute. He has the most adorable smile! He's gowing so fast. He's in size 1 diaper and 3 month clothes already. At his 8 week checkup he weighed 11 pounds 1 ounce and was 22 1/2 inches long which is 50% in both height and weight. He's just perfect!

Dinos

The zoo has a new dinosaur exhibit and since Madelyn is obsessed with dinosaurs right now we took her for the members vip day before it opened to the public. The girl who loves dinosaurs ended up being scared of most the huge moving dinosaurs at the zoo.

 Madelyn was terrified of this dinosaur with the fish in his mouth and she flipped out when we tried to get a picture in front of him.

T-rex was huge

not so scared of this little guy

baby brother was not impressed with the dinosaurs

Madelyn loved these little baby 3-horns. She would have stayed and watched them all day.

Baby brother doesn't get bottles very often so Madelyn was so excited when I let her give him a bottle. She's such a good big sister!

1 month old

 I can't believe this sweet boy is already a month old. He is getting so big and has grown so much already. At his two week check up he was 8 pounds 2 ounces, he likes to eat a lot! He's already moved out of newborn diapers and up to size 1 and he's almost too big for all of his newborn clothes. Greyson has been sleeping good at night so far, sleeping 4-6 hours at night and takes good naps in his swing during the day. He is such a sweet baby and loves to be held. He is such a little mama's boy and I'm loving it!
Madelyn has been such a great big sister. She loves to sing to him when he's crying and wants to hold him often. Whenever we go somewhere and it's time to get out of the car she always asks me if we are going to leave him in the car and a few times she has asked if we can leave him in the car. Ha! No Madelyn we can not leave baby brother in the car!

Newborn pictures

One of our sweet friends gave us the best gift by doing newborn and family pictures for us. I just love all of them so much!

Baby brother is here....

Greyson Wesley Sirmon was born on Wednesday January 16th at 2:02 pm weighing 6 lbs 14oz. and 20 inches long. He's tiny and perfect and we could not be anymore in love with him.

We had a bit of a rough start on getting our sweet baby here. My epidural went up too high on my chest so they had to turn it off for a while causing me to be able to feel contractions again only at that point I was dilated a lot more than 4cms and the contraction were a lot stronger. My blood pressure kept dropping really low and they could not get it stabilized and Greyson's heartrate kept dropping extremely low, the nurses and my doctor told us that if they couldn't get it under control quickly (it had been happening for a few hours at this point) then they would have to do a c-section. I did not want a c-section and I was so scared. I started praying and so did Spencer and God must have been listening because my blood pressure finally stabilized and Greyson's heart rate never dropped again. I went from 6cm to 10 really quick, pushed for 16 minutes and he was here. Once he started crying he didn't stop for a good hour, he was mad! After I feed him and he got a bath Spencer went to the waiting room to get Madelyn so she could meet her baby brother. She was so excited but acted shy at first. She wanted to get in the bed with me so we let her and then she wanted to hold her baby brother. She kept saying how cute he was and telling him that she loved him, she was so sweet. After a while Spencer went to get everyone else from the waiting room so they could meet baby boy. Madelyn got to announce to everyone baby brother's name and she did a great job. She did not want anyone else to hold him and she informed me that she was going to spend the night at the hospital with us. After some convincing she decided that she would spend the night with Grandma and Grandpa so she could come back in the morning. She is such a great big sister.

 Once we got home Madelyn showed Greyson her room and then all the other rooms in the house. She was so excited to be home with us but not too excited that she didn't want to go spend 3 nights at Mymy and Pop's house. She had already spent 3 nights at Grandpa and Grandma's house so why not let her go get even more rotten, right? Tuesday was our first full day to be home as a family of 4 and it went a lot better than I thought it would have. Madelyn has been such a great big sister and has been very helpful. We are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends that have helped take care of Madelyn, brought us food and helped us out in this first week. We are truly blessed!
