Our Kids

Yes, I am alive and kicking and could not be happier:) We are finally home after a short stay in the hospital. The hospital was nice but I am glad to be home to my family and my Tempurpedic mattress:)

Phoebe is doing great adjusting to life at home with sometimes rowdy but so loving sisters. There is some jockeying to see who can hold Phoebe first, longest and what not but other than that no real jealousy and lots of hugs and kisses. My folks and Jason did a wonderful job making the girls feel loved. I also have a good friend whose daughter goes to school with the girls and she was sure to give Piper extra love and hugs when she was missing me at pick up. On top of that her teacher, the lovely and uber wonderful Karen F, was sure to shower her with attention so that she was more secure. Lela of course was more concerned with what she was going to spend her allowance on this weekend, lol! Even with the allowance spending looming Lela has been more affectionate and loving with Phoebe than she was with Landis, probably because she is more secure with her place in the family (thanks to her age and her school I think).

Phoebe is on a pretty good 2 hour sleep/feed schedule and is doing well at night. We have started using our cloth diapers (thanks for the diaper service Grandpa Jack and Grandma Kathie) and I feel good about that. The nursing is going well after getting over those first few days and Phoebe is going to be a great nurser just like Landis.

Oh yeah Landis! She could not be cuter, it seems like her personality exploded while I was in the hospital and she is the biggest, silliest ham diego you have ever seen. She loves Phoebe and giggles whenever Phoebe squeaks. Jason is working with Landis to stay in her bed all night and she did last night for the first time. Hopefully we can get her to do it herself within the next week or so. The other night we had Landis, Phoebe, Lela plus Jason and I in the bed and I have to say the only one who slept well was Lela, lol!

We are loving being together and I feel that our family is complete and completely wonderful.
