Today Anna is 3 weeks old and we have been home for one week. The last week has been challenging but rewarding to know that our little girl is home with us.Our biggest initial challenge upon arriving home was Big Sister Jill. She screamed for 4 days straight along with a lot a bitting and hitting. She has settled down and is starting to adjust to having another baby in the house. Lissie is excited to have her little sister at home.
Anna has had her own adjustments. Just like they told us in the hospital she is very difficult to soothe. She goes from sleeping soundly to screaming at the top of her lungs (and it is loud) in a second. There is no middle “wake-up” period. In addition, she seems to think that she lives in some time zone in Africa because she does not like to sleep at night. Unfortunately I do like to sleep at night, so this has been an adjustment for me. She eats fairly well (some days are better than others) and her respirations have slowed way down.
As far as the blog goes, I will try to give at least a weekly update on Anna's progress and more frequently if I am not changing a poopy diapers.
