The past 2 1/2 weeks have been marked with adjusting to what life at home looks like with a newborn and a busy toddler. Throw in the mix that school started back with Toby as a team leader at a new school and you have our crazy life! It is really quite remarkable to see the improvement in Halle that has occurred in such a short period of time. The hard part of it is that post surgery was like coming home with a brand new baby. Feeding patterns and amounts, sleeping patterns, temperament, etc. all seemed completely different. We joked that we brought home a brand new baby, but had 3 weeks with no sleep and lots of stress to start with! However, we are SO thankful for the progress Halle is making and are so enjoying getting to know our daughter.
She is gaining weight well and finally surpassed her birth weight right around her 1 month check up. The amount she demands is increasing and is now in the "normal" range. She is active, alert, and working hard to meet normal newborn milestones. We're working on finding our groove and what life looks like for us now.
Here are some pics from her first two weeks post-surgery. I'll post some more recent ones soon!
So good to see those big, wide eyes!! Glad she is showing so much improvement!
