Bittersweet

Bitter because today was my last midwife appt. Boo. I have had such a fantastic experience with everyone at the birth center and I am so sad to not be going there anymore. Pregnancy and childbirth is such an amazing miracle. It has been so wonderful to be living it this past 11 months and it's a little sad to be done.
But sweet because I had a great time there today. Grant is doing great...he weighed 13 pounds today! I knew that my precious chunkity bundle of cuteness was getting "up there"! Everything with him and me is looking great! Yay! Here is Grant with Jennifer taking his temp. The next pic is one Samuel took (what a great little photographer!) I'm not sure what we're doing, but it looks like something important. The last pic is of Holly with Grant and I. We love you so much Holly! Thankyou so much for all of your fantastic care of both me and Grant. We've had such a great time with you this past year and will miss you very much. And to all the other fantastic women at the SABC we love you too! Thanks for everything!

Some Words of Advice...

...DO NOT under any circumstances EVER go to downtown San Antonio on a Saturday during spring break with small children. (This is not to say that we didn't have fun, b/c we did, but we also grew a few gray hairs!) Our friends Chris and Falene from came to visit us and we went to Brackenridge Park and the Riverwalk. I have never, in all my years seen this park so packed! It took us an hour to find a parking spot! Then we decided to go to the Riverwalk and that was even more insane! Lillie and Samuel were pretty cranky too, though Aidan and Grant were superstars!
Even though it was busy we had a fantastic time visiting with our friends and their beautiful baby boy. Thanks for coming to visit!

Grant's 1st train ride.

The picnic tables were all occupied so we improvised! Thanks for sacrificing your beach towel Falene!

New Pics of Grant

So Grant is officially 1 month old tonight at 1:51 am. Like any new parent I have to say, I do not know where the time has gone. But this time around I knew from experience that it goes fast and I am making sure to treasure every moment. We're all settling in nicely. Grant is super mellow just like Lillie and Samuel. He is also very alert and gaining weight quickly in the true form of a Doolittle baby. It's been a fantastic month and we are having so much fun with our new little guy.

I just love this face that he makes!

This is how Grant likes to spend every night from 7pm until Tim and I go to bed. Not with me, with Tim. He konks out and I get a 3 or 4 hour break!
The love and excitement has not worn off for Lillie! She is still his 2nd mommy.

Ah brothers! I try not to think about the trouble they are going to cause me!

After his bath. He is our first kid who loves his bath.

Grant and Holly, midwife extrordinaire! This is his 2 week check up where he already weighed 9lbs 10oz. I forgot to get a pic until he was already in his carseat! Not very personal!
