Adjusting

Well we have had Cooper home for a week now and we are getting use to no sleep or sleep in three hour segments, well I should say Kaija is getting use to three hours of sleep at a time. But I think we are all getting use to the change, Connor is wondering what this thing is that has invaded his room and is competing for what he feels is his attention. But Connor really is adjusting well and the rest of us are doing the same, Kaija is feeling much better and is happy to announce that she can fit back in to her jeans. We are getting schedules and assignments worked out and each day is getting easier. Callie has been on spring break this last week, and she and I have spent alot of time together, while Kaija and her mom got Cooper settled in. Callie had planned "phases" for each day and we visited the library, Bass Pro Shop, the mall, several boat dealers, Lowes, Chick Filet, and many many more places, but it kept her entertained and gave Kaija and the boys some quiet time without the rantings of a bored six year old. Thanks to all who helped through the delivery, and the week following. We lucked out having Tawnie and Paul here when Kaija went into labor, and then Jacque was able to come and stay the week, everyone has been a great help. The baby is doing well and so are the rest of us, I will keep everyone posted. -Chris

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's awesome. Although, I may have to hate Kaija for being able to fit into her jeans again already. JK!! I think that I still have jeans I don't fit back into, but Aden (the "baby") is almost 4, so I have given up all hope :) !!! I am so happy for you guys. Glad that the kiddos are adjusting well. Good luck in the next 3 months, it is the hardest! (in my opinion anyway)
