So we got home and loaded all our stuff on the pool table (because that's what pool tables are for, just like treadmills are for extra closet space). The kids were so happy to see us, not that they didn't have lots of fun staying with Grandma & Papa (thank you!!). The grandparents had even given us a cake to celebrate Graysen's birthday (and everyone said "awwwww").
We also tried to see if we could get some more pictures of our baby girl. Here are a few.
Graysen sleeps a lot for now and is doing really well. She doesn't really cry that much and is beginning to make the shift from being awake at night to sleeping at night. Hopefully we can keep that up! At her 1-week checkup she was back to her birth weight of 10 pounds. What a champ! We have her on formula, so we're going through the process of figuring out if she can handle the Wal-Mart formula brand or if we need to go with a name brand. So far it's looking like name brand formula may be in our future. She doesn't fit much of her preemie outfits, and the many newborn size diapers we had don't fit her either. She's already growing up so fast!!!Charlene is recovering very well, too. She takes the stairs with relative ease, can handle the bumpy car rides much better now, and has even tackled shopping with us a couple of days now. The kids, on the other hand, have been a little out of sorts since we returned home with our new bundle of joy. Annabelle has been kind of jealous, and the boys have just been all-out aggressive and hyper. But Grandma and Great Grandma have been so nice to keep the amazing dinners coming so we can focus on the children, myriad chores, and catching up on sleep.
Huge thanks to all the family and friends who showed their love, helped us out, and told us what beautiful babies we make! And just for the record, you all can stop counting because while they were doing the C-section we had Charli's tubes tied. We are officially done (but so grateful for and completely in love with each of our children)!!!
