Story Time- Audrey at almost 2 weeks

Thursday, November 13, 2008

Audrey is a sweet baby. She eats well and sleeps well. She spits up quite a lot, so we are doing a TON of laundry around here. Caleb loves her more and more each day and we are all adjusting as a family of four.

Audrey: Day 3 Reinforcements

So we were not supposed to have anyone in the house for a few days, as Audrey was born at home, but we woke up Saturday morning and decided we needed help. A quick phone call to my parents and they arrived that afternoon ready to cook, clean, play with Caleb, fold laundry, and grocery shop. Wow, yes, they are awesome. Grammy Claire adn papa Jerry to the rescue! Mmm, and they brought good wine and La Villa's Raviolis, doesn't get much better than that friends.

Three Generations

Yes, I realize I look scary here. I had a quick rinse after the birth, hardly a shower, and that was Thursday... this picture is late Saturday... see why we needed help? And I am severely sleep deprived in this picture as well.

So, all the red marks? Poor thing is scratching herself with her nails. We tried to cut them, but they are still connected to her skin (poor Christian found this out the hard way). She is still pretty cute though!

Audrey and Caleb: Day 2

Brother and Sister getting to know each other.

Caleb just loves Audrey. He is so good with her. Yes, he still calls her "Head Schalesky", but he knows her name is Audrey and realizes that is what everyone else calls her. Here, he was reading her a story, it was too cute! He is pretty good at being gentle. He wants to hug and kiss her all the time and is very concerned about knowing where she is at all times. I am so thankful!

Audrey sleeps pretty good, eats well, and is pretty mellow and sweet. It has been amazing to be at home (and a lot of work-cleaning, food prep, etc.), but so nice to be in the comfort of our house vs. a loud hospital.
