Settling in for now



Selah is doing so well. We've had a few days to adjust to our new addition, and we are very happy with her progress. At her check-up on Sunday, her weight was down a little (to 7lbs., 3 oz.), but by her doctors appointment yesterday she was back up to 7lbs., 7 oz. There is no sign of jaundice, so we are pleased as punch. She's even giving us time to sleep at night. It takes a little while, but around 1am she gets into a good cycle of sleeping about 2.5 hours, feeding for 30 minutes, then sleeping for another 2.5 hours, so Moriah and I have been getting a good amount of rest.

Charis seems to be adjusting well. She is starting to whine more, knowing that when Selah cries, she gets attention. We are adapting to that quickly and nipping it in the bud (literally). Charis has been a great helper, bringing blankets, gently patting the new baby, and being a little quieter when Selah sleeps.

Today is Moriah's first day alone for a good amount of time with both girls while they're both awake, and so far she is doing well. You can continue to pray for us all as we adjust to the changes. God has been very good and faithful so far and we are fully expecting Him to continue in that goodness. That's it for now. More pics and video to come later.

I love in second 24 when Selah wipes of Charis' kiss. We are sitting here at work laughing about it!
