1 week old

It has been a party of five now for a week. The first few days home were stressful. I still had high blood pressure and tons of new hormones to deal with. It was a challenge to balance children, chores, husband, pain and exhaustion. But now I feel like we are getting into a better routine. A huge help is that Callie sleeps great at night. (That is the only time it gets quiet around here) She is a very good baby and we are just loving her. Owen loves to look at her and hold her but has a short attention span. Perrie has been home this week with mid-winter break and wants to hold Callie all the time. She will be Callie’s second mommy. Dave is a great helper and I even got to leave him home alone with the 3 kids for awhile. Unfortunately he goes back to work next week. I am feeling pretty good. Every now and then some pain or exhaustion catches up with me, but not too bad. I think we are going to make it!
