More Elizabeth

I know this picture is a bit blurry, but I love Adele's facial expression whilst looking at her baby sister.

Grammy meeting Elizabeth for the first time. Grammy and Grampy traveled down to meet her two days after she was born! We were delighted to see them!

Then, we got to see Grammy again late last week as she stayed with us two nights...she brought Teddy along this time...and the kids LOVED having him around. She read them stories both nights and Teddy was sure to listen in as well. Thanks so much Grammy for making the trip down and staying with us. We so enjoyed your being here.

Elizabeth had her second doctor's appointment today. At first the scale read that she weighed 5lbs. and some odd ounces. At first, my heart stopped (she weighed 8lbs. 5 oz at birth) and wondered what was wrong with my baby and how did I NOT notice this drastic weight loss? Then, reason kicked in I told myself, there's no way she weighs 5 lbs...she's definitely more chunky than she was two weeks ago...and sure enough the scale wasn't reading accurately because of the way they had it positioned. So, her actual weight is 9lbs and .05 oz. She is getting bigger every day. They really are so small for only a short time.

She is doing well with sleeping at night. She does wake up at least one time, usually twice but then she's back to sleep..and so am I!

We're gearing up to start our school year on Monday. We'll see how it all goes with a newborn and all...and I am starting a certain 5 year old in Kindergarden this year! And, I am almost certain his nearly 4 year old little sister is going to want to do school, too, so basically I'm going from one to three this year with a newborn to boot. Yeah, it should be interesting..but God's grace is sufficient. I am trying to loosen up and remember why we homeschool and keep the important things important and all that other stuff...well, it's just stuff.
