We are a family of four now. We’re home and settling in and everything is a bit surreal. David…is home this week with me until Friday, which will be my first day alone. I know he is struggling internally with a lot of anxiety about having two kids, but he is also incredibly proud and excited. When we first got home it was so cute to see him immediately call the dogs over to show off the baby. He’s also been trying to convince any of his friends (including my brother!) who are trying to decide whether or not to have kids that it is worth it. In addition, he and Meredith have already become way closer. During her inevitable…

If you guessed that she picked out every piece of this outfit herself, you would be right. I’m also proud of the genuine smile in the last photo because these days she is very into saying “cheese” for pictures which results in a facial expression like the one up top. While we were in the bath and she was washing my tummy… Me: Do you think baby brother is getting too big to live in my tummy? Meredith: Baby brudder share my room? Me: That’s right, he will. Meredith: Baby brudder wear biders (diapers)? Me: Yes he will. Meredith: Baby brudder nurse mommy? Me: You’re right, he will. Meredith: Um…maybe baby brudder nurse daddy.

Christmas decorations are all put away after a burst of energy last week, and I have reclaimed this little reading spot if I can ever wake up early enough to use it. Meredith loves stickers lately and especially putting them on the walls. Thankfully they come off easily, and so far I find it very cute to come across the evidence of where she’s been. Weekend breakfasts out while daddy sleeps in are becoming one of my favorite things. Splurged on some of these swaddling blankets that everyone seems to love, and looking forward to testing them out soon. :) I also caved and got myself a few more large maternity shirts. Even the ones I already have are becoming…
