And then there were five!

The littlest Sweeney, Elliott Parker, was born at 8:08 pm on Sunday, June 11th. That means that he is one week old today!

Our family has been trying for another kid for quite some time, and we are over the moon that after 2+  years and 4 miscarriages, our rainbow baby is finally here! Riley is completely and totally in love and Logan, well, he is coming around. He stands firm in his stance that puppies are cuter than babies (although I don't think anyone contests that) but has been spending more and more time watching Elliott and wanting to be near him (as long as no one points it out).

Being mom of a newborn again is definitely stressful, and I forgot how awful it is to get so little sleep, but he is the best baby I could ever ask for, so I really can't complain. I'm sure I'm jinxing myself for the future, but so far, he doesn't fuss and rarely ever cries. He is totally chill and wonderful to snuggle with. Sooooo much easier than having two newborns, not that I'd trade them for the world.
