Harrison Jess Coffin

Soooo, we had our baby.  HE'S SO CUTE!!!  I forget how instant the connection to a little person is, how you love him and you've always known him for some reason or another.  That he was just with Heavenly Father, and I'm sure he's visited often, and now he's here with you.  The work of 2 kids is a hard adjustment, but I was ready, probably a little too ready and should've done is sooner, but it's awesome. 

Now it's not all fun and games, we had a rough day on Thursday.  Libby had a terrible day, starting with the fact that for the 4th time she has wiped poop all over her crib and herself and then decides that she's going to cry and throw tantrums for the rest of the night.  Now she has been so good with Harrison, mauls him and kisses him and wants to hold him and love him, but I think she was getting the jealous bug a little and wanted some reactions from us.  Which I'm sorry to say I gave the wrong attentions and started yelling and pulling hair out of my head and fun stuff like that.  It's not so much getting used to 2 kids, it's getting used to the fact that you have to control your temper even when you're totally sleep-deprived and want to sleep all day like you did with the first one.

I love it though I'm learning that prayer in the morning and scripture reading in the morning, before my kids get up, are essential to my sanity and theirs.  Heavenly Father has blessed us and I'm grateful beyond words.

Spencer my brother is the cutest with him; kisses him, hugs him and can't take his eyes off of him.  I love the way babies make you act, you're kinder, gentler and all around better person, and in my case, mother.  I'm so grateful to my Heavenly Father for giving us that gift of love when a baby comes.
