Almost 1 month

Maggie will be 1 month on Friday! I can't believe that it has almost been a month already. Boy, time sure flies by when sleep is removed from the equation. Maggie likes to party each night until around 3 AM, leaving a mere 3-3 1/2 hours of sleep for mom and dad before Ella is awake.

Ella is a very helpful big sister and she truly loves Maggie. She has had a couple of tantrums that we hadn't seen before and combined with the lack of sleep for us it makes going out in public a bit dicey these days. Steph and I like a good challenge, though.

Enjoy!

Ella helped Adam build the new raised planters for the garden. She is such a big helper now and wants to be a part of everything going on.

3 weeks old!

Maggie is 2 weeks old

It has already been two weeks! Maggie has gained a couple of pounds and is sleeping pretty well.

I'm back at work and that is causing some hiccups at home with Ella. She had a HUGE meltdown on Friday after visiting my school with Steph and Maggie. When it came time for them to go home she refused and had to be dragged to the car kicking and screaming. Some day we'll be able to look back and laugh, right?

All in all, we're doing well and adjusting to our new family dynamic. I have to admit that at times we look at each other and ask, "what did we do?," but we love our girls and wouldn't have it any other way.
