The girls have needed their dad a ton lately. I don’t blame them!

And simple days require simple meals of hot dogs – but Brookie LOVES them so we’re good!

Going Home

It is always a bitter sweet for me when leaving the hospital. Maybe it has to do with how special those days are with your new one and the people that take care of you. When you come home, all the other responsibilities come back too.

I LOVED watching this unfold – or fold up!

As much as I loved coming home, it was a tough night. Dan had class so I had to jump right back into being mom. I hope that my girls can forgive my lack of patience and remember the good from this night. It was a harsh reality check for me. Lots of tears on my end by the end of the night… but we survived.

So Happy! Ellie is such a good baby. She eats well, she sleeps well, she is calm in demeanor and just a sweet heart addition to our family.
