i have been meaning to update but just havent gotten around to it. Valen is really a good baby! compared to dahlia he is an angel! well at least how dahlia was at his age. he gets cranky usually about late evening for 30 minutes or so.... sometimes an hour )= but that is it. other than that he just eats and sleeps. dahlia is adjusting rather well too. the first few days not so much, but lately she has been great. she doesnt understand touching him softly though, and has wacked him a few times in the head. but no permanent damage done (= when he cries she points in his direction and acts concerned, it is really cute (= we went in to the doctor last week when he was 5 days old, and he was almost back up to his birth weight, so i am not too concerned about how much food he is getting. with dahlia i was always concerned about that. so pretty much he is the complete OPPOSITE of dahlia... ahhhhh it is nice (= oh except for sleeping through the night, they both sleep very well at night and i have to wake him up to feed him.... i hope that stays like that for a while!

as for me, i dont think i will catch up on my sleep for a few months, but that is to be expected. it is so weird having two children now, we are a family of four!! nuts!!! we watched the video last night of the birth. i would cringe last week if i thought about the pain i had experienced but last night i was ready to see it (= i got a little tense but it was cool to see. i am so glad justin filmed it! what a crazy beautiful experience!!!!!!
