i can't even begin to describe the thankfulness i feel for the safe and healthy arrvial of our little baby. she is amazing in every way and we are deeply, deeply, deeply in love with her. i have been home a couple days and want to capture what the transition has been like before i forget.
Ben: well, the timing is crumby but he has a cough that doesn't let up. it has gotten so terrible that he is sleeping in another room and is not touching the baby. i did not envision being the solo caretaker of caroline these first days, but thankfully i feel great and am getting around just fine.
kinsley and caroline:
he is completely loving, gentle, and fascinated with the baby. she talks in a high pitched voice and carresses her nonstop. she has turned down all sorts of offers of playtime because she would rather "guard her baby sister". she surrounds her with toys and pictures she draws.
she has said she would rather, "sit and guard caroline" than play.
today, her preschool teacher asked me to confirm caroline's name--apparently kinsley passed on that her name is rainbow.
hallie and caroline:
one of my favorite memories is hallie running into the hospital room asking if cawawine has been born. she sat on the bed with me looking her over, listing all her body parts: "tiny feet, tiny eyes, tiny forehead, tiny nose." i wish i could type out a recording of the tiny voice hallie was using. i love love her little voice.
our first day home we were pretty busy and distracted. the doorbell rang. ben UNLOCKED the front door only to find little hallie standing there. hummm...not off to a good start with tracking the whereabouts of 3 kids.
caroline: oh, so sweet.
