Well, here we are on our due date…and Baby Mae is 2 weeks old! We are all so HAPPY. Happy for midnight snuggles and late night feedings. Happy to be doing tummy time and to watch these little sisters bonding. Happy to be exhausted and overwhelmed in a normal way for such a wonderful reason. Mae is an absolute joy, and Eloise, Mike, Dorey and I have enjoyed every second with her. What was life before Mae?! It’s already hard to remember. Seeing her with Eloise (who has proven to be the best big sis we could ever have hoped for) makes every single anxious second of the pregnancy and this (sometimes scary) infant time worth it a hundred times over. Rest assured, I’ve been having a ton of fun snapping photos, and am slowly but surely working on a newborn slideshow, like we made for Eloise. In the meantime, we are looking forward to hunkering down for three more days to enjoy the rest of Mike’s paternity leave and this special family time before we are forced to surface, and life, work, and routine set in.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for all of the sweet messages, generous gifts, and abundance of well-wishes! We are feeling so very loved, and are thrilled to share our happiness with all of you.
