Two and a Half Weeks

Wow, time seems to have just flown by. I apologize for not posting anything for so long, though I do of course have a good excuse. The past couple weeks have been a whirlwind of feedings, diaper changes, and more feedings, with some scattered naps here and there. Audrey is eating wonderfully, and has already grown so much. Her face is so filled out compared to when she was first born!


She loves being swaddled up like a little burrito, and I think it's so adorable!


Zaylee and Thomas are adjusting to their new little sibling pretty well. They both think she's just the greatest. Zaylee will come up to her and say, " This is my baby sister. She is so pretty! Her name is Audrey. I love my sister," and on and on. Thomas comes up and gives her kisses, or tries to help me burp her by patting her on the leg or the arm, wherever he can reach. They're both very gentle and loving around her. Though they are having a hard time adjusting to having less attention from me - they are acting up more than usual, and pestering each other even more than they used to. Hopefully that will die down as things get settled.

Cloth diapering has been going well. I'm still getting used to it. The cloth diapers do need to be changed a bit more frequently than disposables, so I've been having to adjust to that, but I'm slowly getting into the swing of things. I do like knowing that every time I put a cloth diaper on the kids, I'm saving money. Plus they're so soft and cute, I like seeing the kids wearing them and knowing that I made them! :-)

We got our Christmas tree put up the other day. It's pre-lit, and Zaylee loves plugging it in to see the lights glow. But the lights are all that there is on the tree - we have yet to find the box in which we packed the ornaments! Poor tree is just sitting there in the living room all naked and lonely. I have a pretty good idea where to find the ornaments and decorations, so hopefully we'll be able to actually decorate the tree sometime this week, I know the kids will love it.

No promises, but I'm going to try to take more pictures of the kids, especially the three of them together, to post on here. It's hard getting Zaylee and Thomas to hold still long enough to take a decent shot, they always want to come look at the camera to see the picture before I have a chance to take the picture! But I'd like some pictures of the kids with Audrey. And maybe I'll do one of myself, to show how awesomely flat my stomach is already and how gorgeous I look (haha, yeah right, unless dark circles under the eyes are gorgeous).
