Home

Well, we are home. This is how Arden felt about leaving the hospital:

Just kidding. While she was extremely fussy right before leaving, she's actually doing great! Arden is a super sweet and seemingly content baby.

We made it home around 2:30 Saturday afternoon. It was cold and rainy, which was kind-of crazy since the previous weather for the week was glorious. I guess it was a good day to come home and relax.

Upon leaving the hospital, Arden's weight dropped a little lower than what her doctors wanted, so they advised me to nurse every two hours until we took her in for her appointment this morning. I'll be very honest to say that made for a brutal couple of days. I'm very glad to say that when we took her in this morning, her weight had gone from 6 lbs, 5 ounces to 6 lbs, 11 ounces! YAY! No more around the clock nursing. Happy Day!

Evan's mom arrived Saturday evening and we are so thankful to have her help. She drove us to the doctor today and finished all our laundry. Kendall is also loving her Nana being here. Today, they made brownies

 then used cookie cutters to cut shapes. Who knows what fun is in store for the rest of the week!

Kendall is doing really well with Arden. She wants to play "little mama" as I expected, but she's been very gentle. At first I was a little worried about her trying to do things for Arden that an adult needed to do, but Kendall has been quick to listen and obey us as we guide her in helping. Kendall is especially good at fetching things and she also likes to help as much as she can with diaper changes. When we lay Arden in the bed, Kendall often asks, "Can I go look at Arden?" which is super sweet. Kendall's acting out has come in the form of occasional fits and sassy mouth. We've been dealing with this already, but it seems as though it's escalated a bit.

It's kind-of crazy to think that this is our world now. Two little girls! Couldn't be more thankful!
