Due Date

So today is Hayden and Ian’s actual due date, November 11, 2010. It was a date that was circled in red on the calendar for 9 months. But instead our boys are 3 weeks old today and I wouldn’t trade the last 3 weeks for anything.

It was a rough start for our little Hayden but he is now doing wonderful. In the last 3 weeks, we have learned a lot about our little bundles of joy. I love the little noises they make and how “talkative” they can be, especially Ian when it comes time for him to eat. They both love to fall asleep on your chest, Hayden more so than Ian. While Hayden is the better sleeper of the two, he does tend to take after his mom in that it takes him a while to fall back to sleep once he has woken up. Hayden and Ian are both very attentive little guys, they just look around and take it all in (well as much as a 3 week old can see). They are both getting little chubby cheeks and growing a little longer. We are learning their personalities and think that Hayden is going to be our little sensitive one, and the boy who wears his heart on his sleeve. While Ian will be our sweet but mischievous one. Ian will think of some trick to play on mom and dad but Hayden will come up with the plan and how to execute it…such teamwork. It will be interesting to see how their personalities will differ or how much they will be alike. We’ve learned a lot in 3 weeks but we have a lifetime to learn a whole lot more.

Jonathan put together a video of the boys from their birthday till now…some of you may need a box of tissues, I teared up watching it. The song was written and performed by All Things New, AKA Aaron Lehmann. Enjoy!

Happy due date boys, but I’m glad you came into our lives when you did!
