Finding our rhythm.
Tags: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.

ah. *that* dimension of love. The place where you find yourself thinking that your heart might literally burst in it's lovingness. Finding the answer to the question: "How can I possibly love another one the way I love the first one?" and "How can I possibly feel more love than I feel right now?" and one second later, finding that not only is it possible, but that the limits are unfathomable. Welcome to that place. I love it here. Blessings will be coming thick and fast, but I will wish them on you anyway.

She is beautiful. There is really nothing that I have enjoyed about having two more than watching my little boy be a big brother. He is so sweet to his little sister. It's precious. I'm glad Simon is just falling into his role wonderfully. Congratulations to all of you!
