P.S. Why didn't ya'll tell me that having two kids is hard? Oh, wait. You did and it's the topic of most of your blogs...
P.P.S. If you sleep when the baby sleeps, when are you supposed to blog?
GORGEOUS!!! Congratulations!
PS: Having two kids can be hard at times, but the relationship that grows them is the most wonderful and magical thing ever.

Congratulations! He's a beaut!

He's BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations!
It's hard, but it doesn't take long before it feels completely normal. And normal doesn't mean easy, but you'll adjust! You're not really attached to napping anyway, right? :)

CONGRATS!!!!
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, it's hard. But it gets easier, I promise!
Oh, he's just beautiful. Another big congrats to you and your family. Sending you all lots of love and hoping you are getting some rest here and there. I was never very good at that.

Congratulations on that little cutie, Waylon Marley! (Hmm...10 lbs., 6 oz. -- maybe not THAT little!) And Delaney looks like she's already getting into this big sister stuff!
Now you just have to learn how to blog in your sleep... :-)

Ten pounds! TEN! You do make 'em big in Texas. Size aside, Waylon is beautiful - so round and pink and yummy looking! Having two either gets easier or you get used to it, so hang in there. Delaney looks a bit like she's picking her brother's nose...you should probably get used to that. Congratulations!!

He is just GORGEOUS! (yes I can say that about him now because he's little)
He is just absolutely beautiful. I love the shot with Delaney.
Take care and get some rest. :)
Congrats!!!

Look at all that gorgeous baby deliciousness!!
Actually, it does get easier once they're old enough to interact and play together. (of course, then there's the bickering, but ... )
Congratulations!! He's beautiful.

omg, i just died.
and hello? HUGE very LONG baby! i know the section hurts, but there's no way i'd want a baby that big coming out the other way!
excellent work, momma, and yes, it's hard, but it does get easier, just like with the first one. and somehow you'll find more hours in the day too. motherhood is crazy like that. :)
can't wait to read more!

Hey, Waylon is two years old now!!
(Well, sort of.)
Happy New Year to you and your family!

Oh my goodness, I thought my boy was big! WOW! The good thing is, the weight comes off quick after a big baby like that, especially with a good nurser!
Hope your recovery goes quick. He's gorgeous! Enjoy!
Oh, and if you get the hang of having 2, please let me know how it's done because I'm not there yet! ;)

Congratulations!! Wow - he's already into the 3 month clothes, isn't he?
(Sorry. It's always all about the baby clothes with me.)
Welcome, big guy! And HUGE congratulations to you, mama!

What a doll -- and I love, love the picture of the two siblings falling in love! Really, they'll pull together as they grow up. Mine are 15 and 21 now...

Congratulations! He is SO beautiful. And ten pounds - WOW. That whole "sleep when the baby sleeps" didn't work when I had number two, since number one was pretty attached to her schedule and not interested in sleeping in 45 minute periods. My advice: get Waylon on a nap schedule with Delaney ASAP (you know, like in four months or so). Also, get out somewhere every day where Delaney can play (and wear herself out) while Waylon sleeps and you zone out while watching Delaney play.
