My girls are amazing!

They are so cute together! Adelaide has enjoyed playing and kicking laying on the floor (on a blanket of course) and Guinny will sit or lay with her and talk or sing to her. I'm excited that they'll have each other always :)

We tried Adelaide in the crib but she wasn't having it. She cried and grew more upset each time I came in and tried to comfort her. We decided we'd try again a different day so I picked her up. She was instantly calm and cuddly. Oh my! It brought tears to my eyes. Her whole world is in my arms right now and I can make everything ok. In many ways I wish this phase would last and last. I hope for health and happiness for my babies and wish I could always hug the worries away!

So in love with my family!

I finally had the camera ready when she smiled and chuckled, here's a few pics:

2 Months Old

WOOOOOW! How'd we get here so fast?!
Well, Adelaide's 2 month check-up was this past Monday and everything looks great. She now weighs 12.1, if I remember right. Her reflexes and growth are right on. She is smiling a lot and chuckles sometimes. -so cute! She can sleep up to 5-6 hours without interruption and is a good napper. We are not on any sort of schedule, but the Dr reassured me that she is likely to settle into a pattern over the next few weeks since she is already sleeping and eating so well. -yeah! She prefers the swing to the vibrate chair, but likes to be held the most. Guinny liked the vibrate chair, so glad we kept both around for little sis. Cloth diapering is going great. She has had no irritation and we've kept up with laundry just fine. We're still comparing pics and can't quite tell if she's going to be a Guinny twin. Take a look and let us know what you think :)

Little by little

So today's accomplishments were 2 loads of laundry, 2 loads of dishes, prepared dinner and dessert, washed the dog, and bit of online shopping. All this after a pretty rocky 'morning' of feeling overwhelmed. Ending the day with an improved mood and excited about the walk Guin asked for tomorrow :)

Welcome baby Adelaide!

Our second daughter was born at 7:02 am on Tuesday, July 17, 2012. She was 8 pounds 5.9 ounces and 20.5 inches (same length as Guin). We are happy to have her here with us :)
