Life with Two

The past 5 weeks with Edie have flown by! Now that we have adjusted we are enjoying have two children very much! Edie is an absolute cuddle bug, which I love, since Clara has never been interested in snuggling with me. She isn't the best sleeper, but I am enjoying every minute of her anyway. She has started to improve some since I have implemented "The Baby Whisperer" routine with her. Clara is VERY sweet to Edie and loves to comfort her and asks to hold her constantly. Here are a few pictures of Edie over the past few weeks:

Here I am with both girls- I realize I look drunk. Just hammered from a lack of sleep I assure you!




This is Edie at 4 days old. I love how chubby her little face looks hanging over my arm.



This is Edie at 2 weeks old. Her eyes are still very blue. In fact John thinks they are getting lighter- so who knows, maybe we'll have two blue eyed children? Who would've thought!

And here is my most recent picture of our sweetie Edie. She is 5 weeks 1 day old here. As you can see she is filling out nicely :)

Eden

So I realize that it has been almost three weeks since I updated on our new baby. Her name is Eden Jocelyn Lelis. She goes by "Edie" (Ee Dee). Her middle name Jocelyn is after John's grandma. We had a very very hard time naming this baby, it was about ten minutes before we checked out of the hospital that we finally decided on it. We've both had a few moments of doubt- but in the end it was what fit her best so we have decided to stick with it. She is an absolute sweetheart and we have been enjoying her thoroughly. I am of course exhausted but I am loving having a new baby again. Clara has adjusted surprisingly well, (our dog on the other hand has had a harder time!) and we are all starting to get int0 a routine again too.
