Life With Two Girls

Hi Friends,
 
Sorry it's been awhile! I realize my blog might not be as interesting now that Reese and I are home, but I plan to keep writing and have this be my little diary of our family.  Feel free to drop in (or not :) anytime.
 
Things at home are going well.  Jason and I both are getting used to the newborn schedule again (we never stayed in the hospital with Reese overnight, so that's a new thing for us again).  She is a very good baby, but her awake periods seem to be at night instead of during the day.  Hopefully that changes soon, but it's better waking up five or six times in my own bed than sleeping through the night in the hospital!
 
Harper loves her baby sister.  She calls her "baby" and asks where she is all the time.  Every time I change Reese, Harper pulls one of her little chairs into the nursery and stands next to Reese's head and talks to her and holds her hand while I change her.  So cute.  She has also started to take her baby doll everywhere and have her do the things Reese does.  Here are Harper and her doll at dinner last night.
 
 
I was most worried about entertaining Harper while I was changing or feeding the baby, but she has done a good job of entertaining herself.  Here she is this morning looking at her books.  Of course this was before she took off her clothes and tore out all the pages of her coloring book, but still. 
 

 
Jason and I have really just enjoyed being home together.  I've never been so excited to do my own laundry and eat homemade food :)  We have been getting back into a routine with naptime and bedtime and all those good things with Harper, too.  


Daddy and girls at bedtime last night.
 
Thanks again for everyone's support and prayers throughout our six-week ordeal.  I love remembering and looking back on all the acts of kindness.  We are so ready to enjoy the next chapter and our two girls.
