Three weeks in and all is well...

To all those other parents of two who said "1+1=at least 3".....NOW I get it. Cole is doing really well, eating like he has a tapeworm, and now responding when Denelle calls his name. Emma is completely in love with her little brother and wants to be with him constantly. (Not good right now, she has a cold so we're doing our best to keep them apart without upsetting her). But lordy, those sleepless nights!

Cole is a completely normal baby, and sleeps well once he puts his mind to it. The thing is, once he wakes up he tends to stay awake for at least an hour. Or in some cases, 3 hours. Not so bad during the day, very tiring during the night. Fortunately, we know it will end and he will eventually sleep through the night so that keeps us going.

Denelle is doing really well, recovering much quicker than with Emma's c-section. Gramma has been with us to provide help around the house, and help keep Emma entertained while Denelle feeds Cole, so that has been good. Next week, however, it's just the Pritchards -- a whole week with no family helpers on board. We'll see how that treats us.

We haven't managed to get a picture with all four of us yet, so hopefully these two shots will suffice.

More news, as it happens.....
