Our first week!

We survived our first week as a family of 4! I was in the hospital for sometime so it was not reality until I got home. My mom has been here helping out and I am so thankful for her. I don't know what I will do next week when she leaves, well besides cry for days.

All in all things are great. The sleep has been hard to adjust to, but Mike and I have really come together as a team and are doing shift work with Blake. So that works! Since he is working I am taking the all night shift, he takes Blake until midnight and then gets her back at 6am. So I am truly lucky to have his help. I know a lot fo my friends are not as lucky when it comes to that.

Lily is pretty mad at her mommy, but I know in time that will get better. I knew she would be upset, but not like she has been. I can not pick her up and play with her like I always did so she is not really understanding that. Although, I have picked her up and done things I was told specifically not to do, and now I am in pain so I wont be doing it again for a while. Another reason I am thankful for my mommy, she has been so helpful with Lily. They are like best buddies and Lily will truly miss her when she is gone. But, hopefully I will start feeling better and can do more and more with my biggest baby.

I am so thankful to all of our friends that came to the hospital to meet our newest angel. My best friend from childhood Jules, came and stayed with me everyday and helped me to stay calm and take care of Baby Blake. She spent one night with me, and we had a little slumber party. I enjoyed every minute of her company. I know there is a reason that she was brought back into my life after so long. I know that we will have so much fun together with my girls. I just need her to move south NOW! I appreciate everyone that came and kept me company while Mikey had to work, you have no idea how much it meant to me. It is times like these that you know how true your friendships are.

Much love, McF
