Two Weeks Later...

and we are all still alive, and mostly sane, as a family of 6. Wow, it feels so weird to say that we are a family of SIX....I sure don't feel like our family is that big! LOL

Some of the highlights of the last two weeks:

-I've lost 26 pounds. It's a highlight to me :D

- Danica is a wonderful baby. She has her long awake times at inconvenient times sometimes (3am), but most of the time she sleeps really well, she eats really well, and is rarely fussy. I hope it keeps up!

-Danica is also a beautiful baby! I just can't stop looking at her in wonder of how perfect she is :)

-Myka is handling the big change much better than I expected. She is super in love with her new baby sister and loves to hold her and sing to her :) She does demand a little extra attention, especially when I'm trying to nurse, but all in all, the transition has been very smooth.

-Addison and Tegan have stepped up to the plate, chore wise. Even if they don't do alot more than they did before, they complain about it less, and that in itself is awesome to me!

-I am finding out how amazingly quickly one night of bad sleep can wreck the next three days afterwards! I don't think I've ever been so tired in my life! LOL

-I am also finding out how amazing my friends and family are...not that I didn't already know it :) We have been blessed in too many ways to count over the last couple of weeks...from last minute babysitters, to meals, to just sitting and having coffee, we have some amazing people in our life!

-Speaking of amazing people, Daniel has been a rock in my life. He has even managed to stay in a cheerful mood even when he's sleep deprived, which is more than I can say for myself! Over the last two weeks, he has helped me through labor, taken care of the older girls lots, painted the nursery, helped bathe and change Danica, cleared snow, and worked like a madman to provide for our family. I can't even express how much I love and appreciate him!

I am truly, truly a blessed lady!

Goodnight :)
