Life is Good

Wow, how can anything less than 10lbs make such a profound impact on your life? Having Susanna with us has been nothing short of incredible, exhausting, beautiful, inspiring, motivational, and absolutely life changing.

My ladies are doing well this week. We left the hospital yesterday afternoon and had a sleepless night last night. Susanna is feeding every 2 hours or so and can scream with the best of 'em. Jessie continues to heal and is moving around better and better each day. She is still sore, but each day is better than the last and we are working together around the clock to tend to baby and keep Jessie comfortable.

Susanna had her first pediatrician's appointment this morning!! By the grace of God and a lot of planning Jessie and I were somehow able to get dressed, feed susanna, dress her, feed ourselves breakfast and get to the Doctor's on time! Admittedly, Jessie and I had to eat part of our breakfast in the car, but we made it! The Doc said Susanna looked great and is passing all her tests with flying colors. She has added weight since we left the hospital and will have a follow up appt in 2 weeks.

I've managed to unpack all of our stuff and clean house in between feedings. Fewer things make me happier than a clean house. However, now I'm exhausted and need to sleep. As I am writing this, Susanna is next to me snoozing away, Jess is sleeping upstairs and the dog is snoring at my feet. I'll sleep after her next feeding I suppose. I fear I may be rambling now, so I will wrap things up by saying - Thank you for all the encouragement and for taking the time to view our blog. Jessie and I may not be able to update everyday, but we do try to read all the comments everyday. Enjoy the pics....
