MMMM, Baby.

That's how the boy likes to spend half his time. The other half he likes to spend attached to me, sucking for all he's worth. Sorry, no pics.

I used to talk about how Ivy would get used to the new baby quickly because she wouldn't remember a time when we didn't have him. I find now that I'm the same. I look back on things that I did just a month ago and wonder, "Where was Lochlan?" Oh, right. He was still inside me 24-7.

I am really enjoying him. He smells fantastic. He gazes at me while eating and works his little eyebrows up and down, which just kills me with cuteness. It has made a huge difference that Toby is home all the time these days. I know that if I get overwhelmed, I can have a break. I also think that by the fifth baby, I mostly know what I'm doing. So, instead of stressing out about how I'm going to care for this helpless tiny person, I can just sit back and relax and just be.
