Mommy of Two

Well today was my first day taking care of both girls all by myself. It went very well. They did not gang up on me too much. Sam's parents left this morning after being here for about a week and a half. It was so helpful and I am so grateful that they were able to come be with us during Reagan's birth and to help out afterward. Thanks again guys!

Hannah seems to be transitioning well. She definitely gets jealous at times like when I am feeding Reagan and can't hold Hannah at the same time, but she has been trying to give her her pacifier when she is crying and gives her kisses all the time. I think Hannah is starting to realize that Reagan is here to stay and she is going to have to share mommy and daddy with her.

Hannah had a stomach bug for the first time a couple days ago. She was just pitiful and all the throwing up made her really miserable. This was a true test of our parenting skills with taking care of Hannah being sick and a newborn baby. Sam even took one for the team and caught a handful of vomit from Hannah to avoid it getting on the couch!

Reagan has been a pretty easy baby so far. She has been sleeping well during the night and waking up every 3 hours or so, but then going right back to sleep after her feedings. Breastfeeding is so much easier this time around! We have had Reagan in cloth diapers already and they swallow her up but they are so cute!
Here is our new family of four right when we got home from the hospital. It was snowing that day! You can't see Reagan but she is snuggled up in the carrier.
Hannah is checking out her new sister
Daddy's three girls!
