Christmas was a sleepy blur this year with a newborn, but still magical and wonderful. It was so fun to watch Cadie open her presents now that she is a little more aware of what is happening, although she still didn't quite fully grasp the concept. I think next year she will be in her prime.
Little Abby has been such a wonderful addition to the family, although my goodness I had forgotten how hard newborns are. They all have some sixth sense where they can always tell when you've sat down, even if you are still rocking them :) She's had some tummy issues and threw up at least once a day for the first four weeks or so but she's been doing much better the last couple of weeks. It's like night and day with Cadie who has only thrown up maybe 3 times in her whole life.
It's been an interesting adjustment being on maternity leave, I will say this much: "work" is so much easier than being a stay-at-home mom. Really, And I only have two, and am living with my parents so I essentially have a live-in nanny in my mother, and it's still a challenge. But I love these babes with all my heart. It's so fun to get to be with them all day and see all the fun little developments and nuances that I would be missing if I were at work. Cadie is talking more and more every day and we've entered the phase where we really have to watch what we say around her because she will repeat just about everything. Abby is getting bigger and bigger everyday, already doesn't fit in newborn size and her cute little double chin is coming in nicely.
