Two weeks old.

Here is the new little miss at 10 days old.  I have a picture of Mallory at 1 month old sitting in the same swing with the exact same expression on her face.  No doubt they are sisters...they look just alike.  I have enjoyed showing the two pictures to family members and asking them if they can tell which one is Mallory & which one is Hadley.

When I have both girls with me at home, this is what we do.  I've been pleasantly surprised at how well Mallory has adjusted to being a big sister but she is not giving up her lap time.  Actually one of the first things that Mallory said to me when I came home from the hospital is, "Mama, you got your lap back!"  Haha!

I know I said this in my last post, but I still can't get over how different Hadley has been from Mallory.  I swear it seems like I went weeks with no sleep when Mallory was a newborn.  She had her days and nights mixed up and she would not let us put her down at night.  I was terrified to go to sleep holding her, so I would stay up with her until 3 am, and then Patrick would get up with her until he had to go to work so I could sleep for 3-4 hours.  Hadley sleeps great at night and hasn't pulled an all-nighter like her sister did for so many nights yet.  She wakes up on average twice a night, eats, and goes right back to sleep.  Such a good baby girl!  I skimmed over the Baby Wise book yesterday and hopefully we can keep Hadley on track with the methods in the book and we won't have a repeat of all the sleep issues that Mallory has had.

Sisters in froggy pj's

I could seriously get used to staying home with these two girls everyday.  They have been so good and sweet.  Unfortunately, there is a mortgage to be paid along with a car payment and insurance and on and on on so I will cherish the next eight weeks until it is back to reality.
