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.

Oh Ali, she's beautiful. The photo of Simon holding her is so priceless. My nephew is autistic and he paid absolutely no attention to his sister other than annoyance. My sons are now grown, but the greatest gift I ever gave them was each other. We were terrified of jealous sibling rivalry and resentment so we kind of encouraged them as a team and if there were issues it would be them against us. Now they are adults and still best friends and talk on the phone almost every day. The photo I captured as my youngest son left home to join his wife who is in the Army stationed at Ft. Hood in Texas was a grown up version of Simon and Anna. She has brought blessings and more joy into your beautiful family. I love that you are so sweet to be sharing little posts with us because it reminds me of the best days of my life. Enjoy and glad your taking care of yourself too.
