Girl...where you been?

OK...yeah, it's been a while...

I could come up with several excuses as to why this mama has been MIA...but really it mainly comes down to this...

 

Sai Krish Saxena was born on November 11 at 11 PM (thanks to my very talented obstetrician!).  He weighed in at a healthy 8 lbs 3 oz., and we busted out of that hospital a mere 18 hours after his birth. 

Now at 8 weeks old our little Sai-guy is cuter than ever.  He loves to eat (as you may have guessed from those cheeks!) and is an excellent snuggler.  He is just starting to smile responsively (said the pediatrician...) which, for me is always a huge developmental milestone --- kinda that first little sign that he's happy to be part of this crazy family.  Just the positive reinforcement a mama needs during that 4 am feeding!

Shikhar and I couldn't be happier to welcome the wee man into our brood, and his two big brothers certainly can't get enough of him. 

 

As we are making the transition from man-to-man to a zone defense we are working hard to establish a new routine.  It's been an adventure to say the least, and sometimes things get a little crazy...

 

 

...like when you don't notice the 2 year old completing his masterpiece in the living room.  He was so proud.  But overall I think we are adjusting nicely to life as a party of five.

 

So back to the blog I go -- as I desperately try to document this insanity.  I figure now, more than ever, I'll need a reliable reminder to take a few moments out to reflect and absorb just how truly blessed we are. 

 

 

 

Happy 2013!!
