This new life born just 11 days ago has brought me a wonderful new life. Things couldn't be better around here. Am I still running on adrenaline or was I just so miserable waiting and worrying for him to arrive that everything seems like a piece of cake now? Magnolia has even been such a good sport about her brother's arrival. There has not been one single instance of her acting out or even a hint of jealousy. I am waiting for it but so far she's shown nothing but love and acceptance towards him. I am SO amazed but then again I try to remind myself that she really is sweet by nature. We are slowly finding a new rhythm around here and really just taking it all in very slowly. I am able somehow to get laundry done and keep the house somewhat clean. I don't know if it's the convenient set up of our house or maybe that I was already a mom but it hasn't been nearly as hard as I imagined. Am I tired? Yes, but I know that comes with the territory and I know I won't be tired for the rest of my life. I know my kids will grow up, sleep through the night, go to school, and need me a lot less than they do now. So for now it's nice to be needed. I am enjoying this baby so much and know this first year is going to fly by. I want to relish every moment with him. He's such a delight, I can't believe he's finally here and we both made it safe and sound! What a miracle!
Sleeping in his Moses Basket....I feel like he's outgrowing it already!!!
Many faces of baby George
Magnolia takes the time to read to George during Tummy Time.

I love reading your blog, and am so glad that you enjoying every minute of your new family of four!
Magnolia is so sweet, and she probably won't show much jealousy toward George. Instead, she'll relish her role as big sister and Mom's helper.
Awesome kids!
