It's a girl!!!
We welcomed Mia Aryn into our family at 9:55 am on Thursday, August 18th. She is the perfect addition to our family in every way. She shocked us by weighing in at only 7.7 lbs. and 19", normal to most people but it seemed so tiny to us compared to our Josie girl who started out at 9 lbs.
Josilyn seems to be adjusting as good as we could have expected - she loves her baby sister a ton, but you can tell she is also going through some changes as she tries to find her new place in our family of four. This has left me with an enormous amount of guilt. I know we will get through this stage, but I can't help but miss the bond Josilyn and I had pre baby Mia. I can't wait to get the recovery a-okay so that I can start picking up my monkey and doing some more of the "normal" things she is used to.
Our house itself has been anything but calm since bringing home Mia. You forget how many diapers, wipes, loads of laundry and feedings come from one tiny new person. Mia has been an angel though. She is a very mellow, chill, sleepy girl most of the time. Something that I am still getting used to. She seems to have no problem with me toting her all over the house as we chase after her big sister. Looking back at pictures these two girls look pretty identical, I am curious to see if that continues (although I am in no hurry for either one of my girls to grow up any faster).
So fun facts:
* Mia had her first smile and "dream giggle" at 4-days
* First stretch of 6-hr sleep at 1-week
* Josilyn loves to give Eskimo kisses to Mia
* Josilyn finds it completely hilarious every time Mia toots or has a poopy diaper
* Josilyn is really into playing doctor and school right now. She is super excited about starting school with some of her buddies soon, although I am not quite sure if she knows mommy and Mia won't be staying with her
Well that is all from our crazy chaotic life right now!!!
