Everyone's been asking how things are going around here, and all I can think of to say is that we're adjusting. :) Things are going as well as can be expected. Gwen eats and poops like a champ. We're working on the whole sleeping thing, but for being a little over a week old she does pretty darn well. I thinks she changes every day! Just when I think I've got her looks all figured out, she changes. Miles LOVES his baby sister. He always wants to hold her, cuddle her, kiss her, tells her she's ok when she cries etc. He's a good big brother. I'm not gonna lie, he's been more difficult these days, but that's part of adjusting right? Richie's on cloud nine and I feel very blessed. Although...today is the first day without any moms here and I'm a little intimidated. Of course it will be nice to get into a routine, but they were more help than they'll ever know and they will be sorely missed!! They did all sorts of wonderful and magical things like...clean the dishes after each meal, fold loads of laundry, shined shoes, mopped the floor, made sure we had delicious food to eat at every meal not just dinner, gave Gwen and Miles lots of one-on-one attention and lovin, cleaned up poop after Miles decided to stick his hands down his pants, let Richie and I run errands without 2 children or let me go to play dates with just Miles. I could go on and on. Needless to say I'm nervous to be "on my own". Here's some picture of us... adjusting. (hope you don't mind moms if I steal some of the pictures you took while you were here!)
Richie doesn't look happy at all does he?

We've brought out all the old baby gear and Miles would like to think it's all for him. Isn't he HUGE?? Holy cow, I never realized what a big boy he was until we got baby Gwen! The bigger thing goes for his diapers too, which tempts me to potty train him sooner than later! YUCK!
First Brother/Sister Bath! Miles, being the wise, all-knowing big brother passed on the first of many choice pieces of advice to Gwen that night. "No Poopy Tub!" (He thought her umbilical cord was poop. :)
Richie's all-time favorite thing in the world. He didn't have to adjust too much to love this.
Gwen seems to be adjusting just fine! Mom caught a smile on camera!
Sweet baby girl
