Our First Days Home

Our first days home were filled with many visitors, quality time with Grammy, sleep at random hours of the day and lots of cuddling with two super sweet little girls. There has definitely been transition, but so far it's been easier than I ever expected.

Abby adores Ella and can't get enough of her. She doesn't really like how much Ella sleeps, Abby would hold/play/sing to/hug her baby sister all day if she could.  Of course, Abby has had her "baby" moments crying for me to hold her like a baby and even burp her, but most moments are easily resolved. She has wanted me to sit a little longer with her at bedtime while she falls asleep and sing a few more songs, so we've been enjoying that extra time alone singing songs and snuggling as she falls asleep. 

Ella has been an extremely easy going baby. She really only cries when she's gassy or hungry. She sleeps a lot (like most little one week olds) and is a snuggler just like her big sister. Ella eats like a champ and has been waking me up with such sweet little coos just once in the middle of the night. Totally aware that it could all change at any moment, so I'm thankful for the moments of ease we have been given in these first days and I'm rejoicing in those hours of much needed sleep.

We had visits from lots of friends. We managed to capture some pictures, forgot with others , but are so  thankful for each of you! Thanks for taking the time to come visit AND bring us some yummy dinners! :) 

 We're really enjoying our days together as a family as we continue to adjust to our new normal.
