Before I get going, I should mention that I’m not necessarily going to be posting a blurb saying that I’ve uploaded new pictures.  (I have, by the way.)  Feel free to check on my progress either through the Gallery link at the top of the page or by bookmarking my photostream.  Actually, if you’re familiar with RSS feed readers, you should be able to add my photostream to your reader and essentially be notified on new activity.

So it’s Wednesday, and I honestly feel this is the first moment I’ve had to really post anything.  The Younger was born on Thanksgiving.  Friday was hectic and happy and visits and relearning all the skills I had put away two years ago when the Elder ceased to be quite so…little.  Saturday was more of the same.  We came home on Sunday, and reality started to sink in.  Monday I managed to get most of the bags that we just kind of threw here and there on our way in.  Tuesday was more cleaning and organizing.  And today I spent half the day in the bathroom as my eldest, who had spiked a fever and thus was home, insisted on sitting on potty until she accomplished something.

Now we’re all kind of adapting.   I have to say that both of my daughters have pleasantly surprised me.

The Younger is a Sleeper.  She sleeps, a lot.  Much more so than I remember the Eldest sleeping at a similar age.  So far that’s gone well.  But then again, it’s only been six days.

The Eldest…she’s obsessed with her sister.  In a good way.  She wants to hold her baby sister.  She talks about the baby all the time.  When she sees her little sister, she immediately asks if she can hold her.  When the baby cries, she runs over to where ever she is and tries to comfort the crying infant.   It’s really cute, actually.  Again, it’s only been six days yet.

In any case, we’re surviving.   At this point I’m only a little sleep deprived.  Of course, I’m still on paternity leave and waking up a little later than normal.  That could have something to do with it.

The best is yet to come.
