Adjustment

We have made it three weeks now with Leah. The first few weeks have been a little rough, as our Leah has a hard time at night with gas especially during 1-5AM. Michael and I have been a little tired at times. She seems to have made some improvement this week. She is a lot happier during the day.

The boys are doing great with the new baby. They love her. We have wonderful friends that have helped us out tremendously. The boys have had several play dates where they have played all day. It was so nice to get a nap in or the floor mopped. We have also had friends come over and just hold Leah so I can get some cleaning done. The food and goodies people have brought over has been wonderful. We also had a friend drop by a swing, which has helped Leah sleep at times. We are so blessed! I am so grateful for all of the help. I just can't get over how helpful and great everyone has been!

I think Leah is finally gaining weight. At her two week appointment she hadn't gained anything which was so bizarre for me compared to my boys. She is now growing and adjusting to this world. We are loving having her in our family. It is fun to pick out her clothes and bows she is going to wear.

I have pumped milk every once in a while so the boys including Michael can help feed Leah. It is always nice when you can get a four hour block of sleep. Michael has been great and has helped me out a lot at night when I have been exhausted.
