well since the majority of her first week of life was spent in the hospital it was kinda boring...so this is the week that we have been home. i have been adjusting, and it has been a very different experience for me. anyone who knows me knows that i am not a person that asks for help alot and sometimes want to be superwoman and do everything by myself. well that had to be changed, because i couldn't do it on my own.
even though the doctors let me come home wednesday they made me promise that i would have help and get some naps in as well. well in came my mom and she took over. (dad too) they have been soooooooo good to me and my girls and helping anyway they can. it took me a couple days to even be able to get myself upstairs without wearing myself out. the hardest thing was at first when i would get up 12 times a night with preslie and it took me 3 minutes at least to get myself out of bed.
another hard thing is not being able to clean my house. chris took over the first couple days we were home and help soooooo much with the cleaning, laundry, the kids. there was a day i was laying on my bed with shay watching tv, i dosed off for what felt like only a minute only to find shay still sitting next to me already bathed and her hair blown dry and beautiful. my husband is awesome.
so as of now, i am feeling a whole lot better but definitely not where i want to be. patience is not an easy thing for me. preslie is a gem. she is such a great baby. she hardly cries. she loves to eat. she doesn't mind being malled by the girls. she is still so tiny. her hips look better to me, but we still don't know anything. she sleeps a lot and is adjusting to sleeping at night.
she is a huge blessing in our lives and we all adore her.

can't wait to eat her alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Precious and enjoy this time Ash cause before you know it everything will be back to normal! We love you guys!
Sounds like Chris is extremely helpful. I can't imagine how difficult it must be to not do things on your own. I'm not the type of person to ask for help either so I'm glad your parents and Nancy live so close to you guys so they can help out.
By the way...Preslie is so beautiful and lucky to have such awesome sisters who obviously seem to love her so much.
Wow what an experience! That is crazy! Totally worth it though she is beautiful!! I'm so sad we are moving and that we didn't see each other more:(. It's amazing how things get in perspective when you move from loved ones. The things you wish you would've done the people you wish you would've seen more of. I need to see you soon!! Love your family and love you:). Having three girls is the best!
