So I always breath a sigh of relief at two weeks. Things start to feel like the new normal, the other kids relax a bit, and mommy feels better.
Lucy Mae is an angel baby. She has been so much fun! I was telling my sister, she fusses for an hour a day maybe, whereas my other children, as babies, were happy for about an hour a day :)
Eliza has had the most difficult time with baby. She feels a little lost and goes back and forth between loving baby Lucy, and wanting her to go away. She came running in from the other room saying, "Mommy! Hold me!" She froze when she saw Lucy nd said, "Mommy, I don't want you to hold, IT."
We also chuckled at dinner the other night, we always praise the children for big, yummy bites they take in an effort to get them to eat well. Eliza was eating and stated very loudly, "I'm going to take a BIG HORRIBLE BITE!!" That little girl adds some spice to our lives.
Hazel is so in love with baby. She loves to help dress her and change her. She never uses a voice louder than a whisper when Lucy is sleeping. I had Lucy next to the door the other day as the kids were going in and out. Jared saw that the cod air was drafting on her occasionlly and so he moved her. Hazel said, "Oh Daddy, I'm so glad you moved little Lucy so she wouldn't get cold!"
