I am a little late in posting this, computer time is minimal with two children under 2 and I just said goodbye to the last of my planned visitors. My parents came out for a week a few days after Rachel's homecoming, they were a great help in entertaining Caleb, snuggling with Rachel and helping us with numerous projects, such as painting the exterior of the Bowie house, and some minor car repairs. My sister Erin also came out for a week shortly after my parents left, but more on that with the next post and the appropriate pictures. The adjustment to having two babies around has been a little easier than expected, Caleb love his sister, a little too much, he has to be within inches of her head at all times. Rachel has been a great sleeper only getting us up once a night most of the time, and loves to eat. At her 2 week check up she was weighing in at 7 lbs 12 ounces...more than a pound over what she weighed when we left the hospital. Doug was able to take 2 weeks off from work and we had a good time as a new family of 4, and getting those projects done. I am doing very well, my recovery has been much easier this time around. There were times when I wanted to pull my hair out having both kids at home by myself, but overall things are going well.
