One of the perks of having a new baby is that no matter what your mom has to come visit. My mom brought my younger sister Madi who is Jameson's favorite. We planned lots of fun activities while they were here as Jameson and I were in great need of getting out of the house. We visited the park, the Woodland Park Zoo, the hands on childrens museum, Charlie Safari, and our own back yard. Gregson was an angel the entire time they were here. He would sleep 4-6 hours at night and was rarely fussy when he was awake. I was able to get some much needed sleep between 5 and 8am, it was great. Jameson is missing them already and keeps asking when we can go to Utah to see Grandma.
I am feeling very humbled having 2 kids. I keep asking how in the world people do it. I can't seem to get anywhere on time. Jameson will have undone himself by the time I get Gregson ready, and I am always amazed how much damage can be done to my house in the amount of time it takes me to feed the baby. I love all my boys don't get me wrong...I just find the whole experience humbling. I also feel like all I talk about with friends and family is breast feeding. I feel like I am doing this for the first time and I want so badly for it to be a smooth experience, but somehow it is not. I am trying not to give Gregson formula, but after 6 feeding in 7 hours I usually give in to the crying. Everyone keeps saying it will work itself out...I sure hope so.
Last of all Grammie there is a zoo picture on here just for you. I know it won't take you long to figure out which one.

Anna, You all look like you are doing GREAT! Gregson is adorable; in these pics he looks like you. If you feel like breastfeeding is all you talk about give me a call; maybe we should start a frustrated breastfeeding moms club:) Wish we were closer!
Love you all, Aubrey
What a fun time. If you need one more person to talk to about breastfeeding then I'm here for you. I had an extremely difficult time breastfeeding and we fought through it. I know lots of tricks if you need any more.
You look super woman! I don't think anyone really fills you in on what is will be like to have two children because otherwise no one would do it! Don't worry, it will get easier as Gregson gets bigger. Moms are the best aren't they!
Hey you had a baby!! That's wonderful. Ruston and I are so happy for you all. Great to see pics of your family too. Ruston still talks fondly of each of them. Tell your brother's hello from him and you try to get some rest if you can.
Love, Alesha Munk
p.s. I wanted to get ahold of Jared Wood. Is he still in your ward? Any ideas how to contact him? Let me know when you get a spare minute - ha ha! Thanks!
Congrats on Gregson! He's adorable. Breastfeeding is worth it if you stick to it; it's worth the sacrifice even though I know it's hard!
