Admitedly, there have been moments in the past 3 weeks where I thought "What have I done!?!" We're settling down now. Jackson loves his little brother. I don't know this because he says so but because he can't help but show me. He always asks to hold him so we get lots of cute moments like this... 
Then almost like he's hiding the fact though we'll find him pop in a few unrequested kisses. This morning Brent and I were getting ready and thought that Jackson was watching little einsteins but when we walked in he was leaning close in to sam watching him. He ran back to the movie when he saw us but when he thought we weren't looking came right back in to watch him. I once thought that I didn't really know what pure love felt like until I was a parent. Now though, after watching Jackson, I think he gets it better than I do. He forgives faster than I do. He expresses it more often than I do. I think it's just a natural extension of him.

I love the pictures! It can kind of be a tough transition but it is just so great it makes it all worth it. Also, that calico sight is way cute! She has some awesome stuff. I'm almost inspired to learn to sew!
You are doing great watching two little ones and recovering from the labor! I hope you have help. What a wonderful older Brother Jackson is! :)
So cute!
I have those same moments all the time (the ones where I think What have I done?!) and I remember having them at some point after the birth of each child when the stress and lack of sleep and loss of control over your life seems overwhelming and endless and each time I find that I have strength enough to handle it.
