Wilson Table for Four: One week down...

Life as a family of four is off to a flying start. It has been so good and Sara and I are feeling truly blessed. Hallie is an amazing baby. She sleeps for three hours at a time during the night and goes right back to sleep after taking a bottle. So she is only up for about 20 minutes which means more sleep for mom and dad...we love that. Out of the first six nights she has only had one night where she didn't want to sleep and it took a double team to make it through that one otherwise we have alternated nights and get 8 hours of sleep every other night and 6 on the nights we are "on duty". That is all about to change though as I go back to work on Wednesday. It will be interesting to say the least.

Hallie had her check-up with Dr. Mitchell on Friday. She is doing so well that the doctor said she doesn't need to see her until two months, we can skip the one month appointment unless we feel like we need to bring her in. She said that Hallie has really good muscle tone and is strong for a week old baby. A little jondace but nothing to worry about, definitely not as bad as Natalie was. Speaking of Natalie, she has been AWESOME! She hasn't been jealous one bit and we aren't fooling ourselves in to thinking she won't have her moments but for now she is great. She brings her stool out of the bathroom and in to Hallie's room so she can "help" change diapers. She helps give her a bath every night and she always, always, always has to have baby Hallie read stories with us before bedtime. While helping change diapers she often looks at Hallie and says "Don't cry baby girl." "It will be over soon baby Hallie". "Hi baby Hallie, how are you?" She is loving being a big sister.

I wish I remembered more stories about Natalie, she says some of the cutest things. We will have to start writing them down so we will have them documented and can share them with you all. Here are a few pictures from life at home:
