Meanwhile...

I now have two children. My sweet mom has come and gone. Drew is away on business this week. I feel a little like I've been hit with a ton of bricks. Do you know the feeling?

Oh how spoiled I became with my wonderful husband home for a week and my doting mom here for two. If only I could be waited on hand and foot for eternity, lifting a finger merely to point the way for chores needing to be done. My mom was truly a saint: cooking meals; baking treats; cleaning bathrooms; spoiling Makenna with novelty treats and her precious time; and giving me more sympathy than any post-partum woman deserves. Thank you, Mom. Truly.

Meanwhile, here are a few pictures we've taken since little Addison has come home to her new family.

I hate when my mom has to leave after a baby is born. You are not alone, my dear!! Such fun to be a spoiled new mommy with happy kids and a clean house while you enjoy the newborn. You'll find a new "normal" soon.

Your girls are beautiful!!

Your little girls are so cute! I love the pic of Makenna in the red coat; insanely cute. And your precious Miss Addison is just so sweet---I love how you can 'see' how loved she is. Have a fun Easter week:)

Makenna is huge! I can't believe how they grow up overnight once you introduce a new little one into the family. How wonderful to have your Mom in town for two weeks. That is so awesome! Too bad the two weeks feel like TWO DAYS! : ) Hope you are hanging in there and doing well!!!
