Hi everyone! Thanks for all your great responses- it's so nice to read your encouraging messages to me as I continue to share this journey with you all!
We are having a "girl's week!" Chris will be down in Ft. Rucker until early next week, so we've all been making the adjustments. It's been nice to get into a routine. It's amazing to watch Emily change and get used to things. Babies love routine, so that's what I'm really focusing on. In the baby house, she was sleeping about 4 hours everyday (2 two-hour naps at different times of the day) and I'm working on getting her down to one nap in the afternoon at the same time as Taylor. She's getting used to it!
Emily loves her mealtime, snacktime, anytime there is food available time! I love that she's such a good eater because Taylor eats like a bird! The funniest thing is to watch Taylor "revert." Today after lunch, Taylor said "mommy, feed me yogurt in Emily's chair" which I obliged. Hey- anytime my little Toot wants me to feed her, I WILL! :) Taylor is learning how to not steal everything from Emily. It's taking alot of concentrated effort. (Read: discipline and Mommy paying attention). But it's worth it. Taylor is hugging Emily more and Emily is learning how to lick Taylor- her version of kisses? Funny. They aren't at the age where they want to play together, but it will come. Right now we're all just trying to co-exist!
I'm doing well. My left side is hurting more- probably because I carry Emily around alot during the day. But it's a good pain to have, I suppose! That's why God made heating pads, right? :) I feel exhausted in a good way at the end of each day- my favorite moment is when the house is silent while the girls are napping or at bedtime and I can hear the clock tick. That's truly the best. Mommy's need silence! Pregnancy is going well- Izzy likes to kick the tar out of me as soon as I have my feet up! That's just my luck, both girls are down and the one inside decides it's time to party! Needless to say I'm soaking up every minute of just the two on the outside right now. My hands are REALLY going to be full come July! Thankfully, Taylor is an obedient child (most of the time anyway) and Emily can learn from her as she grows. They are cute together.
I am going to try and add some pics to this post so you can see my two cuties.

What wonderful pictures! I am thrilled for you! I'm sure that you are resting much better at night now that Emily home (not to mention that you're probably exhausted!). They are both beautiful girls! This is such a joyful time in your life! Wow! The blessings are overflowing! John Allen and I would love to come visit!
Wow - You are in the thick of it aren't you! Thanks for posting the pictures - they are great to see. We are still sending thoughts and prayers your way on a daily basis.
