Week one


So, the first week of having two little ones at home has been fun, exhausting, and a balancing act. I'm definitely feeling the guilt of not being able to give Toria my full attention, even though I know it's the best thing for her to have siblings. Rome is great, he is a champion nurser and is starting to get his days and nights straight.I love his little coo's and grunts and can't wait to know more of his personality. We love our sweet kids so much and count our MANY blessings every day...I really don't know how our life could get any better.

"Rome" has arrived!




ell, surprise, surprise...our little guy came early. After a long day of standing in line for a "Deal or No Deal" casting call we went directly to the hospital and had a baby! We got to the hospital at about 6 p.m. and he was born at 8:15 p.m. weighing 6 lbs. and 14oz. and 19 inches long. We named him Jerome "Rome" William Stewart-after my Dad(Jerome) and Grandpa(William). I never expected for him to come 12 days early, since I was induced with Toria 5 days late. He is so precious and we love him to pieces! He has his days and night confused, which is fun with a 21 month old sister going all day...no rest for a weary mom! Toria adores him and wants to hold and kiss and touch him all the time. She is always aware of what he is dong..."mama, baby Rome sleeping, shh." She is such a little mom and is our constant energetic, talkative, and sweet little girl.
