3 week update

Today Lily is 3 weeks old. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. It seems like we just brought her home from the hospital this past weekend. Lily had her 2 week check up today. She weighed in at 9 lbs. That's an amazing accomplishment in our eyes, considering her older sister took a month to gain her birth weight. Lily has surpassed her birth weight in just 3 weeks. She was in the 75th percentile. We are so proud! Here are a few of the newborn pictures Carrie took this weekend. There were so many good ones, but you'll have to wait for her birth announcement to come out to see the rest. Thanks Carrie!!

Sisters



Disney on Ice


On Friday Isabella had a date with her Daddy to see Disney on Ice. She was so excited to see Mickey, Minnie, and the Little Mermaid! Her Daddy spoiled her with a giant bucket of popcorn, cotton candy, and coke. They had great seats. Thanks Grammy!!!

The First Week at Home












Well, we have survived our first week at home. Much due to all the help from Greg's mom and all the other people who have kindly brought by food and friends for Isabella. We thank you so much! Lily is doing great! We took her in for a weight check and she is gaining. That is a big deal to us since Isabella was never a gainer. She is nursing well, and I am trying to keep up. All and all we are very happy with our growing family and feel so blessed. 

Things that are easier the 2nd time: recovery, accepting help, being able to go on less sleep, nursing, multi-tasking...
Things that are harder the second time: finding time to sleep, dividing time between two children (this one is the saddest), getting out of the house, keeping the house picked up from all the baby stuff and toys a 2 year old can drag out, being in two places at once (i.e. feeding Lily and putting Isabella to bed)
