Lily's First Week

We've been having a lazy week trying to figure each other out. Lily is starting to sleep better and that means I'm feeling less like a zombie. 

It's been great having my mom here. She's been incredibly helpful and I'm sure I'd have been a crazy bawling mess by now without her.

Madelyn is still loving her baby sister but definitely requires a little alone time with  mom. The other night we had a shaving party in the bath.

Lily got a ride in Madelyn's wagon.

Hanging out with Dad.

There've been a few forts made. Toots has been a good sport about all the weird things Madelyn wants her to do.

Another One!

We added another O'Connor to the family on Wednesday. Her name is Lily Anne O'Connor. She was born at 4:22 pm and weighed 8 lbs 9 oz. She's 21 inches long. 

Madelyn loves her baby sister and calls her the Tiny Sister. We're still working on getting her to say Lily. She wants to hold her all the time which has been a little nerve wrecking but she's mostly gentle.

A Weekend in Lincoln

We spent Halloween with Sara and Jake and girlies. It's so nice having them close enough to visit!!

Trunk or treating. It was frigid and the poor little things only lasted about 15 minutes before they were all visibly shaking. Madelyn said "I sit in car" and was not in the least interested in getting any more candy.

The next day we went to the Lincoln Children's museum. It was fabulous and the girlies really enjoyed themselves.
