2 Weeks Down!

We made it through our first 2 weeks of life! The first week at home was a little stressful. My mom started not feeling well on Saturday and ended up going home on Sunday. I was a little anxious to get started on my own but I knew I was going to have to do it sooner than later. The week turned out to be quite adventurous.

Monday: I got mastitis and Matt had to meet the boys and me at the hospital. Getting 2 out of the house is a little harder then one. Thankfully Owen can get his shoes on by himself!
Tuesday: Graham woke up with goopy eyes and we had to go to the doctor. Come to find out he has pink eye!!!
Wednesday: I notice blood in his diaper and see that his circumcision is bleeding.
Thursday: Matt goes out of town to Dallas for the night (first night for me to ever be by myself with kids) and right before bed, Graham has blood in his diaper!! Go Figure!! I freak out thinking it's in his urine, call the on-call nurse and after lots of talking, we come to the conclusion that it's from the same spot!!!
Friday: We made it through the night without daddy!!! Everyone woke up in a good mood and we were ready for daddy to get home!!

What a week! We were sure glad to get it over with!


This week turned out to be better! Grandma came back for a few days.

Graham had his 2 week appt he weighed 8.7 pounds and was 21 inches long. He got his heel pricked and was not happy with me (daddy said he didn't cry when they did it in the hospital, but of course he did with me:))

A friend of mine, Kenna, came and picked up Owen and took him to swim with some of his buddies!

Owen and I went Father's Day shopping while grandma kept Graham.

And, my friends, Joyce, Marsha, and Tracy came to visit. Always nice to have some adults to talk to:)
I am so blessed:)

He's Here!!

On May 29, 2012 at 12:13 p.m. we welcomed our newest addition to our family!! Delivery went much smoother than with the first. Although I think the epidural wore off because I pretty much felt everything, it was all worth it!:) The Lord blessed us with our sweet, healthy, blue-eyed little boy!
Graham Layne Poynor 8 lbs. 5 oz. 20 3/4 inches long

When Owen got to the hospital to meet his new brother I'm not sure he knew what to think. He was a little leery to get up into the bed with me but wanted to hold his little brother. Owen continued to say, "I'm the big brother! I love you Graham! I'm a good big brother!" And he has proven to be:)







We were very excited to get Graham home. We were able to go home from the hospital on Thursday morning. Of course, just like we did with Owen, I had to have my new little man come home in his Red Raider gear!!


We are truly blessed with the life the Lord has given us!! Maybe it's because I named him after me (my middle name is Alayne so we dropped the "A" and gave him Layne), but Graham is already proven to be a mommy's boy and I'm ok with that:)
