Liam Acebo Petersen

Look at me blogging. It has taken me long enough...geesh. So, today Liam is 13 days old. Wow, that has gone pretty fast. I don't know if it's because he's my third or what, but things have been the easiest with him. I'm not constantly tired. I shower on a regular basis and I only wear sweats everyday because I choose to, not because I'm barely surviving. He sleeps. Well, he of course gets up to eat, but he goes back to bed. Thank you Liam. He eats well. He is so much fun. Josh and Charlee love him to death. Always kissing him and Nae is always asking to "pet" him. Resulting in him catching their colds. He has a goopy eye...poor guy. He is our first that actually sleeps in the car...hallelujah. He is still so small...I haven't taken him anywhere public yet.

don't mind the blood and guts in the background of this picture...I was just getting cut in half. I had a c-section and I am so blessed that I recover so quickly. I was up moving around that same day and by day 5 I took myself off all my pain medicine. I wasn't suppose to drive for 2 weeks. That felt like forever. But I figure if I can do laundry, sweep the floor, take the garbage out and go up and down the stairs a gazillion times a day there is no reason why I can't drive. So I have been.

Our family of five. Look at all those kids. I'm not overwhelmed, but when I see us in a picture it makes me feel like we have our hands full. That's what the FedEx guy told me yesterday when I answered the door. "let me bring this in and put it down for you...it looks like you have your hands full." I know people are just trying to be helpful, but nobody wants to hear that it looks like they have their hands full...btw.

And not to brag...but I wore jeans. Pre Liam jeans. Ok, not really pre Liam if I'm going to be completely honest, but probably pre charlee...which means, they are bigger than the size I was before Liam and bigger than the size I hope to be someday, but the fact that I put jeans on that had a button and zipper and not a stretchy panel felt so good.

Nick took the first week off after the baby was born. That was nice. It was also spring break for Joshua. He was kinda bummed because we didn't do much. The weather was cold and rainy and we stayed home a lot. And this week Charlee has been going to her little daycare everyday. It's been very nice for me. And she loves it there, so it's a win-win. Our ward has been taking good care of us...lots of yummy dinners. And we have great friends and family who have taken our kids and done random stops with treats in hand. It's been very nice. My mom even got me a new babyliss flat iron...score. i love it.
