hi baby ez!

that is what greta says everytime she see's ezra.

he is kind of big deal in these parts.

food stained faces and after breakfast snuggles...

it's been a month with this sweet boy and sweet it has been.

i am so blessed to have had easy newborns. all of my kids sleep 5-6 hours pretty consistently within 2 weeks. ezra is no exception and this is really a treat since he is my first to nurse. which BTW, he is a professional at. i really hated nursing at first and told my self everyday i would quit the next day but here we are 5 weeks later and we are still going strong, mastitis and all. the first 2-3 weeks with my post-partum depression were rough, real rough. i managed (barely) to get by and thanks to a high dose of anti-depressants and an estrogen patch i am still here today. ezzie made the whole PPD thing easier because he was sleeping well and had plenty of people to love on him when i couldn't. ezra has a sweet disposition and only cries when he is naked or starving. ezzie deals well with his environment (i.e. an overbearing/adoring older brother, a sloppy sister, fighting siblings, rambunctious behavior, etc.). he is a happy little dude. he hates being alone, which is fine by me. we snuggle for the better part of the night and most of the day. i love my little smoosh. so far he has just been easy.... EASY E.

oh, and i have to say, i love having 3 kids. i thought i would hate it and that it would be horrible but i thought wrong. i was so worried i would not have enough love, i was worried how greta would do, i was worried about getting enough sleep, i was worried that ezra would be a hard baby.... turns out, i had nothing to worry about. i love having 3 precious little beings that i am responsible for. i love having 3 people think that the sun rises and sets with me... it's a big self confidence booster. i feel so loved and so blessed. it's enough to almost make me cry, which is saying a lot. my older kids have transitioned like the champs that they are. other than a few "rough spots" here and there, i would say i am really going to like this new life i have.

of course, having a beautiful baby doesn't hurt.

now, if i could only fit a few more hours in the day for me-time, laundry, and blogging.
