And so our pictures in the Big White Chair commence. Miller looks so much like Maryn when she was a newborn, minus half the amount of hair. They have similar demeanors with the same sleep habits. Sleepy little newborns that require me to set the alarm in the middle of the night to feed every three hours. Things are moving along smoothly and she seems to fit into our family seamlessly. Maryn is smitten and willingly wants to participate in taking care of her. She will run and get us diapers and burp clothes and is the first to let me know if Benham is attempting to touch her without first applying hand sanitizer. She is such a tiny thing, swimming in her newborn clothes. I've always wanted a tiny baby.
Lots of mornings hanging in mom and dad's bed while Miller eats. Then it's rush rush rush to get every little body fed, dressed, teeth/hair brushed, lunches made and out the door by 8:40 for school. If I'm lucky, I get enough time for a piece of toast and if I'm super lucky, I get a cup of coffee that usually requires reheating in the microwave about 2-3 times.
And of course, she was born during the busiest time of year. Tree hunting, decorating, baking, shopping, gift wrapping....

More alert time this week...
but still sooo sleepy!
Newborns are easy for me, it's juggling the 2 and 4 year old that make things a challenge. He has an uncanny ability to have to poop two minutes after I start breastfeeding Miller. All the time.
Oh Millie, you are an angel!
Christmas parade!
Having had two April babies, it's fun to have my little snuggled newborn. Our blood has thinned and this 50 degree weather felt like single digits.
He couldn't be sweeter.
Again, such a busy time of year. Trying to recover from a c section yet not miss out on all the fun.
