We are adjusting to life with 3 girls. It is in constant motion but it is wonderful. Gabby has taken her role as the older sister very seriously and reminds us often how hard it is to make Madeline happy... she worries every time she cries! We are reminding her that crying is the only way babies can communicate and that she is not responsible for making Maddy happy - what a lucky mom to have kids that care so much! Maddy has been a joy this past week. She continues to be a good eater and sleeper - what more could a mom ask for? She is already filling out so much and changing daily.
I was worried about how Lillian would adjust but I must say - to date, it has gone well. She had a hard time the first time she saw me holding the new baby but since then has been fine with her. I do have to be careful as she is only 16 mos and does not really understand the word "gentle". She wants to grab her and is always offering Maddy her pink blanket.
Maddy had her 1st bath today...it is amazing how with each kid, certain things are just not as important...baths happen to be one of those things for me. I recall with Gabby, I couldn't wait to give her her first bath...with Madeline - it didn't even cross my mind until today :) And guess what...she is alive and just fine!
