Thursday morning little Everett arrived safe and sound. He and his mom are doing fine and expect to come home this afternoon. We've twice taken e to see her brother and she seems intrigued. I think we may have expected more of a response from her, but how can she really understand what this will mean to her life? She's heard about the coming baby for several months, she has seen her mom's tummy grow, heard E say, "I can't pick you up right now, I'm carrying the baby," we've read books about being a big sister, but now the baby is here in her space, claiming lots of attention. And as the family is home together, life will not be the same for her. She has not been allowed to hold the baby yet; perhaps that would help.
I hope to catch up here with my postings. I've taken time to jot down topics, so it's just a matter of finding time, and with E and K off work this week and watching both children I hope to have free time. Oh, frabjous day, callou callay!
