One more day down


We have now made it to day 11 with 2 children. Thank goodness for all the help I have received. I am a little nervous for the time when I am all alone. To get ready to leave and get out the door takes twice as long as before. (If anyone needs me to be somewhere at a certain time you better tell me to arrive half and hour early so I will be on time.)

We went to the pediatrician this morning and Charlotte now weighs 6lbs 11oz. She is getting stronger everyday and is finally waking up for a few hours so we can see her little eyes. I am grateful to report that she is still a VERY good baby. She barely cries and sleeps pretty well at night. I would have loved another spirited child such as Elaine but am relieved Charlotte is calm. We are having a great time with our little girls and absolutely love them!

As you can see Elaine still loves her sister. She can't leave her alone. Since I let her hold Charlotte she thinks she should be able to all the time. She has not tried to pick her up on her own yet but since I just typed that it will probably happen later today.

How cute! But I would hold off on conclusions about whether or not she is "spirited" just yet. Newborns can be deceiving that way, I think.
