They truly adore him

My Dad brought Julia and Joanna to see Jameson on the second day while my mom stayed home to take care of sick kids. My sister and her family came to visit too. You can see her pictures on her blog. Rebecca seriously loves Jameson and prayed for him daily when I was pregnant.

Javi's boss and wife came to visit and she made this hat and blanket for him.

HMMMM - what is that?

Poor Jameson will be ready for roller coasters in no time.

After his first bath at home

*Jameson is wonderful. He is eating well and sleeping well - waking up just to eat at night.

*We think he will look similar to Jacklyn, but we think he is the first to have medium brown eyes like his daddy, not dark brown/almost black eyes or blue like the other kids.

*We came home Wednesday night. All of the kids were sick (except Joanna) with terrible coughs, snotty noses, some with fevers, others vomiting.

*The kids seem to all be healing, but Joanna is sick now and Josiah is still sick

*My mom helped us all day Thursday and Friday thank goodness. She made dinners, wiped noses 50+ times, cleaned up vomit, held and changed babies, mopped floors, ironed, organized and itemized my freezers, did laundry, pushed kids on swings and gave me time to take a nap and probably 100 more things I am forgetting.

*My healing has been really speedy from the lack of labor/pushing I assume - praise God because He knew that is just what I needed to be able to jump back into caring for all of my little sick ones.

*The boys have not been allowed to hold or touch Jameson since they are so sick. Jeremiah has no clue, but Josiah notices when he cries and goes over to him and looks at him confused - he is not sure what that new little creature is.

*Every kid is so in love with Jameson - we have never experienced any jealousy with the arrival of any of our babies. They are just in awe and begging to hold him. Joanna gives me updates every 2 minutes - "he is opening his eyes - come look" "he just moved his feet". She could sit and watch him all day. Today she told me, "Mom, be careful not to drop our baby - use 2 hands."

*We are in baby love land right now (in 2 months we will be in "sleep deprived land"). Javi and I just can't get enough of our little newborns and Jameson is no exception. Javier says over and over every night how Jameson is so beautiful and wonderful. He really goes crazy over his newborns.
