The first week...

So the first week home from the hospital has been pretty good. I was a little worried at first that I was not going to have a very good sleeper, but she has proved me wrong...so far! The last couple nights I have had to wake her up to eat because I was dying. She has been so much fun to have home and Mylie can't stop loving her. Mylie has been a big help. Every time she hears Shaylie grunting or pooping she runs to get a diaper. The first couple days were rough for us though...She had high bilirubin levels and had to be under lights for 3 days. It was heartbreaking to see her in there and poor Mylie couldn't even look at her sister. But the levels are back to normal and she is a doll. We are adjusting to being a family of four now, and Chris has been super helpful. I am not looking forward to school starting for him. I am not ready to be a single mom of 2. Here are some pictures of some of our weeks events.

Oh she is so pretty! I love her name. Having two little girlies is the best. I am sure you know that by now! It gets better! Both my kids had to be in the baby tanning bed... ugh isn't it the worst!? I am glad that she is better now, and you are looking great too!

Mylie is so cute eating that brownie mix! I am so interested in reading all about life with two kids- so that when the time comes I can be a little more prepared! I'm glad you're done with the lights- those are no fun at all.

I shoot I'm sorry Shaylie had to be under the lights for so long but I'm glad she is good now. I'm sorry that things were stressful for awhile. Please let us know if you guys need anything! Love all the pictures.
