Adjusting

Life with two little ones has been a new adventure for us all.

Seth took the week off work, which was a great blessing. We left the hospital Sunday (Sept. 12th) and have been home since that evening. We have been out and about quite a bit already and have made a run to the store nearly every day. Nora is doing great. She is such a sweet presence in our house and is so content so far. She is a great eater and has been doing great at night too. We feel so blessed. Aidan adores his baby sister and calls her "little bud." He loves to smother her in kisses and wants to talk to her a lot. He has been having some issues adjusting to this new life and has been rather difficult for us, acting out and disobeying, and such. I have really been praying for him to have a quiet spirit and to desire to obey. We had our first date last night (with just Nora). We went to a Sara Groves concert and it was a refreshing time for us both.  Nora did great, eating and sleeping during the concert. Unfortunately, the little one woke up in the middle of the night with a cold (we've all been fighting something similar) and she was up quite a bit. She is pitifully stuffy and has been crying a lot more today. She loves to snuggle though and is very comforted when you pick her up. I hate to see my baby sick, but I am praying she recovers quickly. Tomorrow is my first day alone with both kids, so that should be interesting. I hope for a little more sleep and am praying for Aidan to have a good attitude.

Pictures of the little sweet one to come soon. We've had some computer issues lately that have made blogging a little bit difficult. Can't believe my little girl is already 9 days old!
