Baby updates

Well, Addison is eight days old and we've been home from the hospital for six days now. I am so happy that we decided to keep Lily out of day care while I'm home on leave. I can already tell that it's going to be 100% harder to go back to work this time than it was last time. It is such a blessing to be able to stay home with both girls for 12 weeks and spend time just being their mom without the constant stress of work. Lily is a riot. She absolutely LOVES her sister, but she is reacting to the new baby by being very needy - especially towards Barclay. She also has a hard time letting the baby use her old things - like the swing and moses basket!



















We've been running Grand Central Station out of our house since we got home from the hospital. Mom stayed until Saturday, Barclay's family was here most of the day Saturday, Abbie and Blake stayed Saturday night; Friends came over on Sunday, and Grandma just left. Grandma is so awesome...she brought by several days worth of dinners for us.














The first week we were home the weather was really bad - it even snowed! It's nice and warm now, though, so we're able to get outside and play.

Lily had her 18 month doctor's appt, and Addison had her 1 week appt yesterday. It was quite an experience to have both girls there at the same time. They screamed from 9:45- 11:00...the whole time we were there. The results were good though - everyone's healthy. Lily is a whopping 22 lbs, and Addy is already 7 lbs - 2 ounces more than her birth weight. I figure Addy should catch up to Lily by the end of the year :)




Lack of sleep is the only thing (besides my 30 extra pounds that stuck around after I delivered) that has been hard to get used to. We are trying to sneak in naps every chance we get, but that's rare b/c both girls don't like to sleep at the same time.
