It was a rough delivery and recovery but I almost feel back to myself. She was nearly 9 lbs and 21.5 inches long. She also felt like she needed to come out all at once (head, shoulders and torso all emerged on the same push).
We are adjusting to adding a third. It hasn't exactly been an easy transition, but no one has ever felt like Amelia wasn't part of our family. The kids LOVE her. Noah talks about his baby sister almost constantly and they fight over who gets to hold her. The hard adjustment has mostly been figuring out how to divide my time and attention and adjusting to the fact that I get almost no time to myself (I'm lucky to get 45 minutes the whole day long) but Amelia isn't the problem.
She is lovely and cooing (in between coughing and snorting. When you live with a 2-year old a cold in the first 3 weeks of life isn't uncommon and they doctor told me they typically last 2 weeks. Heaven help us) and she just started smiling. The big kids now have a whole new reason to fight: who makes Amelia smile more.
Welcome to the world baby A
