Egg Salad a la...Burned!

Okay...so maybe this motherhood thing is harder than I thought!!

I was doing pretty good...got up, fed the baby, ate breakfast, etc., etc. Then it was getting close to lunch time and I thought...mmmm, egg salad sandwich sounds REALLY good, I'll just boil some eggs. So, I get out 6 eggs, put them in the sauce pan with water, put the lid on and put them on the stove. Thinking to myself...I'll go check on Drew while they start to boil...I'll be RIGHT back!

Well....an hour later this is what I found!! (Only after I heard the big BANG come from my burning kitchen!!!!)

Notice there are only 5 eggs left in the pan....that's because the 6th one EXPLODED all over my kitchen and dining area!! I'm still finding egg!! LOL

Visiting the Twins Is Hard Work!

So we went to visit the twins, Hallie & Brighton, yesterday!! OH my HECK!! Aren't these pictures hilarious?? Who's stinkin' cute, chubba wubba, baby is that in the middle! I guess I'm just totally up in the night at how "small" he is...oh, poor guy...he is still my cute little baby!


Hallie, Drew & Brighton--BCF's

So much to love!

Auntie Kenna is here! YEAH!! Drew sure loves his Auntie Kenna...or should I say she sure loves him! She doesn't want to put him down. On Sunday, we were at my parents for dinner and my mom kept saying to McKenna..."I want to hold Drew" and McKenna wouldn't let her!! I guess when you fly half way around the world you have every right to hold the newest (or one of the three) family members as much as you want!!


Things are going really well! I am super tired though! But we are adjusting and just having so much fun with our "little" bundle of cuteness!! Drew is such a good baby! We are so blessed to have him in our home!!

A Visit from Gongy!

My sweet Grandma Bonnie came to visit me or I should say us in the hospital a couple times. The one time she got to hold Drew, he was in the NICU not under the bili-lights and I didn't have my camera with me!! So...anyway, Gongy, aka Granny, aka Grandma came to the house for a visit!! I love these pictures. Grandma..you look fabulous in turquoise and black!! Oh, and Drew thinks you're pretty hot, too! Look at that wink he's giving! Thanks for all your love, Grandma!



Four generations!! Pretty cool, eh??

Exciting Day!!

I must be the worst mother...I have not posted for the past few days!!

Well, things around the Woolery home are...let's say... Wonderful!! Drew was having some jaundice issues and yesterday we finally got word that his levels were in a much healthier range thus ending our Bili-light days!! YEAH! Mama can hold her baby again!! He did so good under the lights...of course he loved it there all toasty warm!!

We ventured out to Wal-mart last night...I know, I know...what kind of mother subjects her 9 day old son to the vastly, germy world of Wally-World??? Let me tell you, he was quite covered and protected especially by his daddy...it turned out good...we ran into 3 friends so they got to sneak-a-peak at my adorable son!! I do have to say I really hate---love---no hate Wal-mart! We stood in line longer than it took us to shop...I could go on and on and on, but I rest my case!!

So, today should be rather exciting! Two new baby cousins enter the world in less than 2 hours and Drew's "favourite" Auntie returns to the Mother Land tonight for her long awaited visit!! YEAH!!! We are so excited!! What a fun day!! We shall post again soon...with some pics of course!!

It's Official....

...I'm in LOVE!!

I cannot begin to tell you how much I LOVE my baby (did I just say the words "my baby")! I love Drew so much and feel so very blessed to have him (finally). Heavenly Father has blessed us with such a beautiful gift...how will I ever repay Him! I feel so much love from my Heavenly Father and Savior. I am so grateful for this precious, entrusted gift.

Drew is so sweet and I must say the cutest baby boy I have ever seen! I love his face, eyes, lips, nose, cheeks, chin, ears (one ear folds over a little), hair (love the hair), hands, nail beds, fingers, belly button, bum (to be honest I don't know that I have actually lifted him up and checked out his bum yet), his chubby arms, legs, feet and his long toes. He has the cutest rolls on the back of his neck that I just want to nibble on. He has the cutest cry and makes the sweetest sounds! I LOVE THIS BOY!!!



After a very long 6 day stay in the hospital I am so happy to be home with my son and my sweet husband!! Wow! Watching my husband with his son is quite amazing to say the least...so it's official....I'm still in love with my first love!! I love you Sigh and thank you for helping me do anything and everything while in the hospital (& before & now after). I know the reason I am feeling so great after the c-section is because of how much Silas helped me with my stay there...he helped me out of bed, made me take walks, rubbed lotion on my dry, cracked, swollen feet and just basically did all that I asked him and didn't even ask him! He is very thoughtful and kind. I love him very much!! Drew has a great Daddy!!

I have to give a huge thank you to my family...especially my mom! She has been such a wonderful help to me as well. Not knowing I wasn't coming home Monday...you know just a routine check up...turned into you're having a baby tonight...she has done so much. Then she, Val and Evan came and cleaned my house on Tuesday. Oh, boy!!! How nice to know my baby would be coming home to a clean house...not that my house was filthy but I was supposed to have 2 more weeks, right? Even though those nesting instincts had kicked in, my lazy, 8 month pregnant body just couldn't handle it!! So thank you so much for that!!

So for those of you who have not met Drew yet...come take a gander!! I was telling my family last night (you know because I'm feeling so great) I want to show him off!! Take him around to all my friends and family and showcase him! But we'll wait to make our debut a little while longer, but feel free to call and come by for a visit.

First Official Drew Night

Last night was our first night of getting to hang out with our little Drew in our room. (He is still little to us.) It was a lot of fun. Amy had a renewed sense of energy and felt the miraculous power of Drew in our midst. I guess there is a sort of healing power or energy when it comes to new life.

We also watched a couple Steven Seagal movies. Drew really seemed to catch on to the spirit of Under Siege as they showed both 1 and 2 on TNT. He was much more interested in the acting than all the violence.

I tried singing Rock a Bye Baby to him, but I had a tough time with the words. I did much better with Rockin' Robin.
