Two Weeks

Little Nathan is two weeks old today.  At two weeks he is 8 pounds 6 ounces and 21 inches long and is doing great according to his doctor. Here are some pics from the hospital- he is a day old in these pictures.  Stay tuned for newborn pics.

Adjusting to Two

Little Nathan is almost two weeks old and we are slowly adjusting to having two little ones to care for. My mom came down for six days and I am really missing her. I forgot how much work having a newborn is. Thankfully Liv has been very good and for the most part has not had any jealousy issues. We have had a couple of major tantrums, but I think they are more related to the fact that she will be two in a couple of weeks and does not like to be told no.  If anything she loves him a little too much and I have to remind her that we have to be careful around the baby. Other than his desire to be awake at 1:30 a.m. for a couple of hours Nathan is a very good baby.  Here are some pics from the last several days...  

Couldn't you just eat him up???

Nathan's Story

As previously published Nathan Scott Grant Magleby arrived on January 10 and was 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long.  Seven baby boys were born that morning so his c-section kept getting pushed back, but he finally arrived at 12:38 p.m. We were there shortly after he was born and got to help him with his first bath and his first bottle.  His hair was the talk of the nursery- It is curly, thick, and so soft.  The hospital set us up with a room and we were able to spend the next day and half falling in love with this sweet little guy.  Our birth mom, K, requested that we give him the middle name Grant.  Since we had already chosen Scott - we decided the we would give him two middles names. We had our placement on Tuesday and came home on Wednesday.  Big sister loves this little guy and has not gotten jealous of him (I think it has helped that grandma has been here since Thursday), but is very affectionate toward him with lots of hugs and kisses.

 

It's a Boy

Nathan arrived 12:38 p.m.-  Weighing in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and 20 inches long - he has a full head of thick black curly hair and a dimple on his chin just like his big sister Livy. 

Becoming a Family of Four

I discovered something about my daughter a few weeks ago... She gets bored when she is by herself.  Since she was a baby she has had play mates around and so when she is home with momma she wants me to play with her every minute.  Not that I mind, but it makes it very difficult for me to get anything done. 

As the oldest of seven, I always had someone to play with.  There were times in my teens that I wished to be an only child, but as I have gotten older I have realized how lucky I am to have so many siblings that I get along with and enjoy being with.  This is why I am so excited that Olivia gets to be a big sister next month. Nathan Scott is scheduled to arrive January 10 and we can't wait to meet him.

Christmas Time

We had a wonderful Christmas! There is something magical about seeing Christmas through the eyes of an almost two year old.  Santa spoiled us this year and so did Grandmas and Grandpas.  Some pictures from Christmas morning...

 

Later that day... I am not sure why she thought she wanted to play under the table...

Making cookies for Santa...  she loves to roll things out.  Grandma H made her a cute little apron and gave her her own rolling pin for Christmas.

Temple Square Part 2

On Saturday BYU had a second basketball game at the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City.  We decided we needed to get away for a couple of days so we rented a room at the Raddison for Friday and Saturday night and spent a wonderful relaxing weekend in Salt Lake.  Friday night we ate dinner and then took Olivia swimming in the pool.  It took her a couple of minutes to remember swimming (we haven't been since August), but she loved it and didn't want to go out.  Saturday we went swimming again,  went shopping, went to the basketball game in the afternoon,  and went to see the lights on Temple Square in the evening.  We came home Sunday feeling relaxed with a plan to do it again next year.
