Lauren's first week

This past week has been actually very good for a first week of a newborn. Lauren is such a good baby. For the past three nights she has only been up twice a night, going 4 or 5 hours between feedings. This morning I fed her at 7:00 and then she fell asleep again soon after and slept the whole time while I got myself and the other two kids ready! What a blessing! I actually feel
somewhat rested (not completely, of course).





All three kids! That sounds strange, but I it's my new reality.




The kids still want me to do normal things, like read a book, so I'm learning how to hold three and a book.



Doting on Lauren, at least that's what they think they are doing.


She actually has her eyes open!




Aubrey is such a loving big sister. She helps me a lot and is proud of how she can help. She is very patient and holds Lauren quite a bit.
