Cuddling on the couch last night. Amelia was already in bed.
Raise your hand if you are sure that your family rocks!
"Baby!" Amelia loves baby and is very gentle with her.
We are home and getting settled in here. The other kids are adjusting well so far. Billy sensed that they just have all merged into their "new role" as siblings. They are being helpful and listening well, playing together nicely, etc. I think it's just a honeymoon phase. I'm sure all hell will break loose next week when the newness wears off, but maybe he's right. They all just see what they have to do to make our house click.
The first night was rough. We tried putting Evelyn down in her bassinet, but she easily woke up after a short while. I had had only two short bits of sleep in about 5 hrs and I was exhausted. Billy then got up with her and slept near her in the living room. We both were anxious to try something different last night. So we spoiled her a bit and she got to sleep in the living room in her Bopee pillow and in my arms. But we all got ample sleep and are the better for it. We'll slowly adjust her into the bassinet, but it might take a week or so.
Today we go to Ames to get her passport application submitted. Getting a picture is the most difficult task. Try getting a 5 day old to look straight at the camera with both eyes open! It should be quite a task at the photo shop today. I have some snapshots on my camera that hopefully will work too. But the regulations on size and color are very strict and we can't afford for the application to get rejected b/c of bad photos!
