Libby is now 5 days old! The cutest little bug ever. We are doing great. Tired, sure... but we are adjusting and getting into the rhythm of a cafeteria that is open 24/7 and taking shifts to be sure everyone is getting enough rest. Ella is doing great adjusting to being a big sister and having some of the attention diverted towards Libby. We are making GREAT efforts to be sure she has lots of things to look forward to and special one on one time with mom and dad. We are making sure her schedule stays the same with pre-school and fun. Since she has sooooo much energy, we are getting her to the park to burn off steam. We have our college age helper Alyssa ("Sasa") to thank for the moments of needed relief. She is out of school for the summer and lives next door. We are blessed to have had her in our lives for the last 3 years. AND SHE LOVES BABIES!!! Ella kinda looks up to her as a big sister.
We had a doctors appointment yesterday and all is a'ok with miss Libby. She was 7lbs 3oz when we came home from the hospital. She has maintained that weight! She is an eating and pooping machine. MUCH different than the experience we had with Ella... Ella wasn't a good eater right from the beginning. I am trying to limit my VERY busy tendencies and be sure I am getting the rest I need. Our friends have been amazingly supportive with meals and keeping us well fed. That is sooooooo appreciated. I haven't had to think about what would be on our dinner table every night. We all get full bellies without any planning by mom!
