...It ONE full week! Woof.... One full week!

In general, baby #2 has been much easier! Labor was less the half of the time it was with Mckenna. The epidural was HEAVENLY and NO episiotomy (woohoo!!) Andrew's bilibrubin levels in the hospital were low, so he gets to eat like a "normal" infant (no waking him up every two hours to eat). The nurses were awesome in the hospital and I got to sleep!!!! Andrew sleep, eats and poops. He nurses and takes a bottle like as champ! He sleeps in 4 hour stretches at night. We got to have Grandma Gall come for several terrific days, which was the BIGGEST help!

BUT........ Toddler #1 has had a hard time. Poor girl! We brought Andrew home and that same night Mckenna started running a fever. She just had a virus, luckily, but she was pretty miserable. The next day the "adjusting" began. She was up until 3am, threw TONS of tantrums, and cried and cried and cried. It was so sad for her. Who knew the hormones would be harder to deal with in regards to the toddler than to the baby???

I am happy to report today that Mckenna is getting better and better every day. She is adjusting to life with a sibling. We have made some special trips just for her- to the zoo and park at La Cantera. Tomorrow Grandma Jones comes. Yay! I am ready for another few days of help before "real life" begins!

Thanks to everyone who has helped us out of the last week. We have really appreciated your help!

Now for lots of pictures!

Thanks Holmes' family for decorating our house! On our walk today tons of people congratulated us on the new baby :-) So fun!

Grandma and Mckenna in the butterfly exhibit at the zoo. This place was awesome. Mckenna LOOOOOVED it! She was so sad to leave, but I couldn't handle another second in the humid place!
