New Things

Bath Time:

Audrey

Megan

Maybe all kids scream like this in their first bath, but these two look suspiciously similar. (Thanks for the reminder Ali.)

The Swing: It goes a little slower with each kid, and makes this crank noise when it starts up, but 7 years and 4 girls later I guess it still works.

Today Audrey is hanging out in the swing in the in-direct sunlight. She of course has a little bit of jaundice, I think all of mine have. We are waiting for the results of her third bilirubin test, but I think she is getting better. She has gained back up to 6 lb 14 oz already and the goal for newborns is birth weight (7 lbs) in 2 weeks. She is still very sleepy and unaware of the chaos going on around her. I am not sure how I am going to manage these three girls by myself, but for now I am very thankful that mom is here to help. There are not any pics of her yet, but she is working behind the scenes.

Alyssa has enjoyed coming home to Audrey and kissing her goodnight, but still isn’t that interested in her. Megan has gotten excited to see her a time or two, but for the most part just plays around her. I guess we are adjusting. Daddy and Megan went to the Jump Zone today for some one on one time. Alyssa loves school, but I think Megan is getting the shaft just a bit…poor middle child!

  1. I love the bath pictures! They look so much alike! I’m glad you are adjusting well and getting into a routine.

    Wish I was there to hold Audrey! We miss you guys!

  2. haha, I love it! They are definitely sisters there is no doubt! I can’t remember a pic like that of Alyssa. I don’t think she screamed like they did, or we didn’t catch the first bath. I remembered Megan’s though – too funny. Hope you guys are all enjoying your time together. I bet your mom is a big help!

  3. Still cute, even in mid-cry~ they do look very similar!
    I am so thankful that I was there. Thank you for letting me share this time with you! You are doing a great job by the way. Kudos to Nana too! I miss ya’ll already.

  4. I can’t believe she’s a week old already!!!! Good Job mama and nana… all your girls are going to turn out wonderfully!
