Comparison of the Boys

Here's a comparison of Braiden and Houston!


Braiden 3 weeks old

Houston 3 weeks old Braiden 1 week old Houston 1 week old Braiden Just Born
Houston Just Born
When i first had Houston and they layed him on my chest, i was like "Oh my gosh! It's Braiden! He looks just like him!" Now when Houston has a hat on his head, he looks just like Braiden still but a little more fare, but when you take his hat off he looks like a whole different kid! Mom and Grams says he looks like i did when i was a baby, but i haven't compared my picture to his yet. Houston is starting to look a little different than Braiden did at his age! I think he is going to be a blond hair blue eyed boy! I will be so excited if he does! Either way, Josh and I make some really cute kids! They are perfect in every way! Now it'll be interesting what a little girl would look like!

Houston and Braiden

Here are some updated pictures of my 2 boys


Houston Lee - 3 weeks old

Braiden Riggs - 2 1/2 years old

I love these boys!!!
Braiden loves to cuddle his baby brother Happy little Houston








Houston loves to lay down and kick his feet and watch the tv with Braiden. Braiden loves to help me take care of him. He is a really good helper. Houston is a little piggy, my milk has slowed down to where i have to suppliment with formula, so if anyone has any ideas on how to get my milk supply back up let me know. Mom said i need to go get some mother's milk, i guess it's an herbal tea i have to drink everyday and it'll help build my milk supply back up. I've also heard to nurse till he stops eating and then pump for 15 minutes 2-3 hours. That has sort of helped. But i have a hard time finding time to pump for 15 minutes straight on both sides, when i have a needy 3 week old and 2 1/2 year old. And let me tell you Braiden is the most impatient child i've ever met. He repeats himself over and over and over until you atually get up and do what he wants you to do. I am so glad i have my mom here to help me out or i would go insane!! Life with 2 kids is harder than i thought it was going to be. Anyway, the boys are doing great, braiden has his moments of jealousy but all in all he does pretty good! verything is all good in the Josh Jarvis Family!!!

Everything is going great with both my boys! Houston is nursing great! I have so much milk i'm having to nurse him 1st for 30 minutes, and then pump! I can still pump 4ounces after i nurse, so i have been freezing my milk. I have 20 ounnces frozen already and he's only 6 days old!!! Crazy! I am feeling great, i only had to get 2 stitches, which they have bothering me a lot lately but it's ok! This to shall pass! Houston is sleeping great, get's up every 2 1/2 to 3 hours to nurse then goes right back to sleep. ing the day he will stay awake for about an hour after nursing and diaper changes! He is no longer pooping the blood he swallowed from delivery, so everything looks great! Took him to the doc yesterday and he measured 20 1/4 in the hospital, but when they measured him at the doc he was 19.5. So he is 19.5 and he weighs 5 pounds 12 ounces so he gained his weight almost all the way back. He has to take vitamins once a day to get his iron back from his anemia and he should be over that in 2 weeks. We will find out for sure at his next appointment in 2 weeks. Other than that everyone is doing great, Braiden loves his brother and can't get enough of him! We are just so happy to be home in our own beds and together again! I hope everyone had a great easter also. I will post the pictures josh got for me later!
