The much awaited arrival of baby Milah has come and gone...and since I am behind on EVERYTHING it should come as no surprise that I am more than a month late on this as well...what do you expect? :)
She was born on Thanksgiving, and was around 8 lbs (I can't remember all the stats!). There were some complications with the birth but my sister, Sara, was able to deliver her on her own. Yay! She's amazing, seriously.
We came home from Utah the day after she was born so the kids were able to meet her right away. They loved her! Both of them were able hold her and they were so sweet and gentle. It was so amazing to watch my little "babies" with an actual baby. It really put into perspective for me that they aren't all that babyish anymore...sigh.
Since Milah has been around we spend a lot of our time playing baby. We dress them and feed them and swaddle them and change their diapers...etc. One day Storey was getting frustrated that he couldn't hold his baby and play with his toys, the solution? I put the sling on him. He loved it! He had worn it before just before Clover was born because we were trying to get him used to the idea of a new baby and to the fact that mommy would be wearing the sling a lot, but that was a LONG time ago :), for a person his age anyway.
Milah is an angel baby. She sleeps most of the time, rarely cries and has just started to smile. We are so happy to have her with us and can't wait for our other two babies, Ruby and unnamed child (Courtney!!) to come into the world! Oh and just in case you're wondering (and I know you are) No,we are not having another one anytime soon. We're just enjoying the babies without having to deal with any of the hard parts!
