Finding our rhythm.
As Simon has been saying over and over, "I am so glad she's here."
We made the transition from hospital to home on Friday afternoon and spent the rest of the weekend just hanging out. Thank you so much for all the well-wishes and kind words. We are all really just so excited.
Lots of getting to know you moments. So far she is quite the little sleeper and quite the nurser - her two favorite activities. She is also really good at snuggling.
Simon is super protective of her. He makes sure to let me know that she needs help and gets very concerned when she appears to be in distress. Chris and I have had lots of "shared-look" moments as we watch Simon talk to her, tell her about whatever is on his mind at the moment, and show her his toys.
Keeping it very low key this week. Working on healing myself as I learn all about this sweet girl. Feeling really good overall (the meds definitely help this along) and taking things as easy as I can.
Ali - I just love the picture of Simon and Anna. I love that he's in his Tigger outfit and loving every minute of the time he gets to spend with his new baby sister. He's such a proud big brother. And she is just beautiful! I'm very excited for you and your family. I bet Chris is so proud, too.
Congratulations to all of you!

Such perfect moments, enjoy all the shared looks and restful time you can get.
There is a song The Greatest Discovery by Elton John, if you are not familiar - you will like it I believe. Link below to someones You tube Video with the Song. Of course - you need to sing "brand new sister"
Glad all is well, she is beautiful.

Nothing more beautiful than seeing another person welcomed into the family. Amazing how adding the second child makes it feel like so much more of a family...hard to explain, but I know you're feeling it right now. Take care of yourself and glad to hear you're feeling well.
