One month with our babe Story Capri. She has been a wonderful addition to our family with her mouse squeaks and soft requests for milk. She is a precious peanut at just over 8 pounds. She has just started to become more alert over the last couple of days, although her neck and leg strength have been beautifully strong since day one (must be from the constant dancing in the womb). She doesn’t like being put down, so I’m adjusting to the kangaroo life. She loves to lay on our chests to nap and is just the sweetest little baby girl, melting me with her blue eyes. She’s doing great sleeping at night, although I’m up every 2-3 hours, just her and me during the week, but weekends daddy joins in on the fun and has even done some bottles so I can rest. Glory glory this time around has been so different yet so familiar and we are so grateful to have our family of four. Story Capri, she’s beauty. ✨
*sigh*
i didn’t think i could do it. but i did. somehow, someway, i did.
i successfully made it 5 days just me and the kiddos.
i was BLESSED to have grant home the first two weeks after having Story. he took such good care of me - bringing me my meds, ice water, oatmeal, smoothies, hummus and veggies, soup ... all i had to do was heal, sleep and nurse. felt like a weird delirious sweaty (hello hormones) beautiful vacation.
i’ve been dreading the thought of him going back to work and me being alone with the kids. i thought i wouldn’t be able to handle it. it’s been HARD but i’m figuring it out.
we went to the playground one day, target another day, i had two doctors appts with both kids in tow, and lots of random moments outside in the backyard. Stone is really adjusting and it’s melting my mama heart💙
happy 3 weeks, Story Capri. you (and your bro) push me to do hard things💕
