More Seth

Our New Addition

Seth Daniel was born Nov 19 at 1:30 pm. He was 7lbs 10 oz and 19 1/2". The labor and delivery were amazing compared to my experience with Luke. I had to be induced because I was a week late and things went quickly. I only had to push for 3 contractions (compared to 2 hours with Luke). I'm feeling really good and we're both doing well. Seth has had jaundice so he's been under lights all week and had to be re-admitted to the hospital for a day, but otherwise he's great. He's already back up to his birth weight and he's a great eater and sleeper. He is such a sweet little baby and he's very calm. My mom has been here helping, so I don't know exactly what it will be like to have 2 kids and be on my own, but I think it will go well. Luke has adjusted really well and actually really seems to love Seth.

Halloween!

Luke had a great time for Halloween. We really didn't do much to celebrate because we moved on the 25th and we've been trying to get settled, but we took Luke trick-or-treating and he loved it. He got a hang of it quicker than I'd expected. He would knock on the doors and then take the candy (he never got the hang of saying 'trick or treat') and then he would say 'thank-you, bye-bye.' He was dressed as a race-car driver for obvious reasons (cars are just about the only toy he plays with). I thought he looked so adorable and he seemed to like the costume as well. He actually wore the hat almost all day and he would walk by mirrors to look at himself. Kids make holidays so much more fun!
