1) be kind
2) survive
We've almost made it through our first week home together as a family of 6. We've laughed, we've cried, we've slept in increments of one to two hours at a time.
Between baby blues days, (I...sniff...can't...sniff...do...sniff...this...SOB)
and moments of realizing "we're really doing it!",
I find myself having survived to the end of the week,
albeit completely exhausted and desperately needing concealer and (waterproof) mascara to look reasonably decent. But it's been a good week, and we're so thankful for this crazy big family!
All three girls adore their baby brother. Charis loves to hold him and put him to sleep, but she also seems to be having some trouble adjusting to all the changes. Hannah loves to hold him, but she is easily distracted by her budding fashion sense (see below) and imaginary play. Bethany says "aww, bebe" and puckers up every time she sees him.
Here's to a great weekend for all of you!
P.S. We want to thank Granna & Grandaddy and Figgy & Pop for all their help with the girls in the transition from hospital to home. We love you!
