Our first week and a half home...
1. We had to take Audrey to the doctor twice. First for suspected jaundice and second for her well baby check up. She is growing and eating great.
2. Julia came down with a 102.7 temperature the day after we brought Audrey home. That was pleasant. She was pretty much banished to the basement with Peter Pan and the phrase, "Don't touch the baby's hands or face!" was said at least fifty times that day and the days following.
3. My hands became raw from washing them so much.
4. We forgot how difficult it is to sleep with a new baby next to you. They grunt all night long.
5. Audrey was kicked out and put in the hallway and sleep improved greatly and we can still hear her well enough to know she's awake. Julia also decided to wake up several times during the night. I am learning to function on very few hours of sleep.
6. I forgot how much I love to hold a new baby. She is the sweetest little girl and I could hold and stare at her all day long.
7. I forgot how fast they change and grow. Her little legs are already getting fat rolls and her face is filling out. It goes too fast.
8. Two year olds are very demanding but also so sweet and loving.
9. Grandmas coming to stay are the greatest blessing in the world.
10. Husbands not having to go back to work until June is also the greatest blessing in the world.
11. Having the baby is WAY better than being pregnant.
12. Getting newborn and two year old's pictures taken is a definite challenge. Audrey does not enjoy being naked and Julia does not enjoy posing for pictures which made it a little bit tricky. Because of the amazing patience of the most amazing photographer and the amazing talent of an amazing photographer the pictures turned out great. Melanie you are the BEST! We love and appreciate you so much! She sent me a sample picture and I had to post it. There will be more to come.
I feel so blessed to have such beautiful little girls, a wonderful husband who this morning took the baby so I could sleep in a little longer, and my mom who has loved my girls and helped me in ways that she cannot even imagine. I love them all so much!
