Abbey’s One Week Birthday
Thanks to all who have sent sweet congratulatory emails and left comments on the site. Abbey is blessed to have such love and encouragement from the start.
Life is going pretty well in Wallace household. Abbey sleeps a lot and is nursing very well when she manages to wake up.
Many of you have asked how Grady is doing with the transition. He’s doing great. He’s very gentle with and concerned about his little sister. He’s always willing to go get a diaper, or to do anything else he can to help with her. He’s had a couple of tough days this week, but we think that’s mostly because he’s teething.
Jamie went back to work on Monday, and Holly’s mom is still with us. She is an amazing help. She leaves in a week, then Jamie’s mom gets here for a couple of weeks. After that Jamie will take a couple weeks off work. We’re hoping that will give Holly plenty of help from the transition from one to two kids.
Holly’s managing well. She is bouncing back much more quickly from this delivery than from Grady. It’s tiring, and her body is still adjusting, but she still gets a silly grin every time she looks at her girl.
All in all we are really struck with how blessed we are to have had such an smooth delivery, two beautiful kids, and so much support from our friends and family.
Blessings,
