Adjusting

Lily is now three weeks old and I feel like the last few days I am trying to get into some sort of routine. Who am I kidding... Not much of a routine with a preteen, toddler, and newborn! But I am trying...
I am managing to get out of the house with all the girls at 7:30 to drop Maddie off at school... In my pajamas. And back again to pick her up at 2:45.. This is a great accomplishment in my eyes. Adjusting is exactly what the past few weeks have been. We are all so full of love for this sweet girl that has joined our family! Bella has good days and other days that she misses it just being her as the baby! I cried the first few times she begged me to put baby Lily down and hold her... It was heart and gut wrenching. That has been my biggest challenge so far... Balancing giving Bella what she needs and still tending to Lily's needs as well.
I have to say after three weeks I can comfortably read to Bella one side of my lap and nurse Lily at the same time.
I am so thankful for how much Maddie has been my little helper. She is loving the new baby and also helping play with Bella, cooking, and doing lots if extra chores to help me. She has been really amazing!
Even though we have been making lots of adjustments I can't stop thinking about how lucky we are and how' much I live to love these three amazing girls. I am grateful and blissfully happy... I have the most loving husband and I can't imagine this journey with anyone but him!
