Adjusting to three

Well we are home from the hospital and devin is officially back to work. I have to say having him home for ten days was awesome and I was not ready for him to go back! With the boys, devin was back to work before I was even discharged from the hospital. So I really appreciated having him full time for the first 10 days! Especially since he was getting up at the crack of dawn with the boys and letting me sleep in with Scarlett! It's been a LONG time since I have slept in past 7:00 am!!! Thanks to my two little alarm clocks! Any who our first couple of days home were great but also challenging I was still hobbling around the first few days and in quite a bit of pain so it was hard to do even little tasks. It was probably harder on Tristan and Atti who didn't understand why I couldn't pick them up or why they couldn't climb all over me and the baby! But we managed ok and I am now at 11 days post C-section and off of any pain medication and feeling loads better! My body is also is working its magic and shrinking back to my new Post kids "normal" which hey I'm not going to complain about one bit!! I would give up my pre children body any day for my three beautiful children without hesitation because there is nothing like being a mom! I forget how much I love newborn babies there is just something so special about having a fresh little baby in your home! Scarlett has been so wonderful she is sleeping pretty dang good at night and only waking up once or twice and sleeping in her bed, sometimes getting her back to sleep is a challenge but other than that she has been a dream! After having one I can't believe I did twins especially nursing! This little Girl is a piglet! Im so glad that the twins were first because I was so oblivious and had no clue how much harder two was!!! With that said having one baby is so weird! And so much less stressful! I don't feel like I have to keep to the strict schedule I had with the boys and I can actually just go with the flow and let Scarlett make her own routine which so far has been really nice! The boys are also adjusting as well as can be expected they are very curious and stand watch anytime I change her or she is upset. They smile and laugh when I let them touch her hair or kiss her so I definitely think they like her... Mostly. Time will only tell! Well that's about it for now here are a few pictures from her newborn photo shoot that my cousin did and she did an incredible job! And also some pictures of my grandparents meeting Scarlett for the first time! Enjoy!
