Well, we have been a family with two children for 11 days now.  What a trip!  Heidi is adjusting well.  Every morning and after nap time when she comes downstairs from her room she runs to Wyatt and hugs him and says “Aww” and I am pretty sure she said ”Wyatt” tonight.  This being said, she has told me “No, No” on more than one occasion, with EMPHASIS and finger pointing.  Michael and I are adjusting well too.  I have only cried once.  😉  Make that twice.  Sleep deprivation is an ugly beast.  Tonight was the second time.  I finished this blog entry.  It was four healthy paragraphs with however many pictures there are, which have to be entered one by one.  I changed the option from “save draft” to “publish now” and the whole thing disappeared, never to be found.  I guess I should have saved my draft before I asked it to publish.  So, lesson learned, the hard way…not my favorite way to learn.  I worked on it for two hours before it was complete.  That warrants tears.

I find myself sad that Wyatt is our last baby.  Head overrules heart on this one.  A girl and a boy.  A parent to child ratio of one to one.  But still my heart aches because Heidi is growing up and learning so much and Wyatt changes every day.  I enjoy every new stage and swell with pride at every milestone reached but will miss having a tiny baby who is at greatest peace in my arms.  Little Wyatt will not be little for long.  I am confident he will break the 10 lb. mark before his two week check up.  He eats like a champion!  Speaking of eating…thanks to all of our friends bringing meals, we are eating famously.  If you know me well then you know without these meals I would be living off of Diet Coke, frozen White Castle cheeseburgers and Little Debbie cakes and Michael would eat nothing but ice cream. 

Gear…we need gear!  Well, just a double stroller.  Michael and I took both kids out to run a few errands on Monday with our single stroller.  Disaster for more than one reason.  It was close to Heidi’s nap but she had no interest in reclining and falling asleep in the seat.  I was carrying the infant carrier over my arm, which hurts after a while.  I never want to be the lady in the store with the wailing kid but, for 15 minutes, we were.  At least until Heidi and I had had enough.  We left with nothing but needed lots.  So, a double stroller is PRIORITY ONE!  Now, show me the list where every person who has ever used a double stroller votes for their favorite and the one with the most votes gets elected #1 Stroller Bar-None.  I am too tired to do the research and want to love the one I buy.  I’m not picky…I just want one that does it all!  Seats that recline to multiple positions, including flat and can face each other, face forward, face rear, fit back to back (in case of kid spat involving kicking).  I want it to accommodate an infant seat until we aren’t using one anymore.  I want the canopies to be adjustable and have mesh for the breeze to pass through and vinyl windows at the top for me to peek in.  I want the foot rests to be adjustable so the kids’ knees aren’t in their chests and I want snack trays with cup holders for me and for each kid!  I want it to fit through doors and in store aisles and to turn like a barrel racing horse in a competition on TV.  They have these in RandiLand, but the Princess has been away for a long time.  Do they have them here?

Here are some more pics of Wyatt’s first week on earth, Heidi’s first week as an older sibling and our first week as parents to two children.  Enjoy!

Play time has changed a little.

Nap time has changed a little too.

Some things remain the same….Heidi continues to be too cool for words.

Michael is not the only one to enter a food coma after eating anymore.

The men are bed bugs and the girls are not.  Not to worry, we got Wyatt a blue miracle blanket the next day!

YaYa gave Heidi some fancy rain boots, which she LOVES!  All of the Moritz women love shoes!

She even sported them when she went outside with YaYa to see how Daddy and Grandy did fishing.

She was glad when Wyatt and I joined her outside.

Hugging is her specialty.

Wyatt was all tuckered out after a second day of fishing!  Just kidding!  But he was kind enough to pose for a picture with some of the fish Grandy and Daddy caught on their second day out.

Right now he finds the paci more exciting than fishing!  (But not for long!)

Grandy and YaYa hated to leave, but they will be back soon!

Wow!  Now ain’t that something?!
