One Week

We've made it one week (and a few days) and everyone is still doing well! :)  Cole is doing great, eating and sleeping well. Nights aren't so bad (a few long ones here and there) but overall, we can't complain. Wyatt is starting to enjoy helping with things for "the baby" as he refers to him.  We're having a few moments of not so fun times as we all adjust, but I guess that's to be expected.  Cole had his first check up the other day at the doctor...he was 8lbs 2ounces and 21 inches long. So he's growing well! Everything else checked out just fine, so we were excited to hear that.

We did a little hike the other day to see a waterfall (and get out of the house). It was a pretty hike, but a lot longer than we thought it was going to be! It was fun, none-the-less! :) A nice little break from the house.

Hope everyone is having a happy Tuesday!!

We have a thumb sucker!

So excited!!!

Summer Fun!

Prior to Cole's arrival, we'd spent some time out and about playing and enjoying the end of summer, and pretty much doing anything to keep me moving and convince Cole to get a move on. :)  Here are some pictures of our adventures along the way!

Coleman "Cole" Byron Goins

Cole made his appearance Saturday morning at 2:57am. He thankfully came on his own so we avoided another induction (yay!). So that was a nice surprise. He was 8.1 pounds and 20.5 inches long. We only had to stay in the hospital for a day and then were able to go home as we both were doing well. So all around a good start!

Cole is super laid back (so far) so we're enjoying that and the fact that it's making the transition a little easier. Wyatt is excited about the "Baby" as he refers to him. We're just trying to help him learn how he can help and how to be gentle with the baby. So far so good!

We will leave you with a few pictures of our new addition, hope to get more up soon when things calm down a little bit.

Happy Wednesday!!!
