Since Jack has been born he has been busy meeting family and friends. The day after he was born Dina, Nicolas and Chrissy came to meet him. They were so sweet and gentle and obsessed with all of his little features. Jack may have to get used to a crazy crew of cousins, but they adore him already.
Aunt Dina got to feed him his first bottle.
We took him home on Wednesday, a beautiful and hot day in the City.
We were greeted at home with a beautiful sign and a little girl happy to have her mama home and anxious to get her hands on her little brother.
That day we spent a lot of time snuggling and a lot of time staring. It also seemed as if Lyla had changed into such a big girl overnight. Everything about her was immediately bigger and more mature. And so far, she is coping with all the changes at home like a champ (much better than me).
We've also spent a lot of time playing defense so she doesn't smother him or poke his eye out. The other day I saw her sitting next to him in her rocking chair. I went over to see them and her foot was resting ever so gently on his head...
My recovery has been much easier this time around, so we've been able to go out and about with relative ease and I'm feeling mostly good. Our mornings are when it really hits us that we are now a family of four. Lyla gets into our bed around 7 am and Mark and I look at each other in disbelief with two kids in the bed. We learn something new each day and I try to remind myself that the craziness of this period will not last forever.
