We are finally home. I am one of those weird people who likes hospital stays (as long as its for a good thing like a baby) and was sad to go. The Maternity center at Madison Memorial is amazing and I can't imagine birthing anywhere else. A big thank you to all of the nurses who were so patient and kind. We are trying to adjust to no sleep and a cranky two year old boy. We think Jonas has acid reflux like Carson did, so we might call the pediatrician tomorrow and see what we can do about it.
And now begins life with two kids! Our home is once again filled with the cries of a newborn, but we wouldn't have it any other way. Even though Jonas has only been here a few days, he really has filled a gap we didn't know was missing. I feel like our family is more complete. I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to be blessed with these wonderful little boys...they are so precious. It truly is amazing how your love and capacity to love grows with each child. I seriously wondered if I could love Jonas as much as I love Carson, but after holding him I knew that the Lord truly blesses you with an increased capacity to love. Each time I have brought one of these little guys into the world I have felt so empowered as a woman. I have truly felt like I am fulfilling the measure of my creation and I have felt a profound gratitude for the opportunity I've had to become a mother.

Yeah!! I am so glad that you guys are home! It is always a nice feeling to return home after you have been gone for a while. I am off at noon today if you guys need anything. :)
that would be wonderful Sara! My machine was given to me second hand and has never worked great, and now has just pooped out.
