Surprise!

Luke Mitchell arrived early Thursday morning!! It was certainly a surprise... he was almost a month early! Thankfully everything went smoothly and Luke was a healthy 6 lbs 13 oz. We came home from the hospital last night and Luke is doing so well. He's nursing so well and also sleeping great too. Grant has had his moments of jealousy but he's getting better and better. I'm actually starting to think he likes his baby brother "Wook." He's already tested out his paci and infant car seat! :) My mom flew in yesterday and has been a huge help and is loving every minute of her time with her 2 grandsons. Here's a couple pictures although more are sure to follow. I'm going to try and set up a Flickr account and I also need to change the name of the blog!

Growing what??

I just read the title of my blog "Growing Grant" and thought to myself that that's certainly not the only thing that's growing these days! My belly is growing by the second. Some moments I think I can really feel the skin on my stomach stretching! It's not a pretty sight and I will probably not post anymore preggo pictures... sorry. Things are certainly starting to heat up around here as my due date approaches, although I feel like I could go in to labor any day. I'm contracting a lot and every time I have a weird sharp pain I can't help but think it might be time. Mike left for Key West last Wednesday for training and will be back on Saturday. My aunt flew in from MS last night and will be staying with us until Mike gets back. I'm so glad that she's here and she's certainly giving me peace of mind should I go in to labor this week. There has been a lot of change happening around here recently and Grant has been handling everything so well... most importantly the switch to his new room and new "big boy bed." Apparently Mike and I were much more nervous about the transition than we should have been. He really loves his new bed and has actually asked on several occasions to go to sleep in it. When he wakes up he calls for me to come get him and thankfully doesn't get out until I get there. I'm so proud of him and his behavior really has me optimistic about his adjustment to the arrival of his new baby brother!
