Charlotte is doing extremely well. I have never seen a baby like her before. She rarely cries. She eats well, she sleeps well. She is definitely the opposite of her big brother. He was so high maintenance and she is just so laid back. Ryan asked me if I thought something was wrong with her b/c she was so easy! We are so thankful for her and the joy she is already bringing to our family.
Gavin has adjusted extremely well. I have to say, I was super surprised out it. I thought he was going to really resent her and have a hard time. He actually can't get enough of her. He was a little timid when he came to see her in the hospital, but after that, he's been great. When we got home I walked in the door and I was so excited to be home and to see Gavin. All Gav did was look around me and say, "Where's Charlotte?!" He could have cared less that I was home. He was ready to see his sister! When Ryan brought her in from the car, Gavin walked right over to the car seat and tried to take her out and wanted walk around with her. He just thinks he can flop her around like a stuffed animal. It's so funny, but so refreshing. I know he is missing his mamma time, but we are working through it and it helps that Grandma and Papa are here!!!
Daddy is doing well with taking care of everything around here.c He has been entertaining Gavin and taking him and my parents to some museums so I can get some quiet time and some sleep time!
He is smitten with his daughter. He even said, "I'm so glad we had a girl and not another boy!" One of his new favorite phrases is, "How are my girls doing?" It's so cute to see them together. I think she's gonna be a daddy's girl!
I am doing pretty well. Recovery the second time is a little bit rougher. I am wondering where these days are going! Everything seems to be going by so quickly. There doesn't seem to be enough of me to go around. Speaking of which - I am off again to feed the baby!!!

Congratulations to all of you! Charlotte is absolutely beautiful!!! Love all that thick dark hair she has - looks like she's taking after you, Suzanne.
Get what rest you can, dear. The transition from one to two children can be rough. Sounds like Gavin is going to be a great helper though. That will make things easier!
Congrats!!!! Charlotte is so precious!! I love her name!!
CONGRATS is really in order for you!! :) She is beautiful! And I love her nursery! Thanks for posting pictures!!!
SO, are you guys in the Chicago area?? Like, downtown? I just read your post on Ryan's promotion and was wondering. For some reason I thought you were in MI.
WELL, congrats again! Life certainly picks up more speed with 2, but it brings with it even more precious memories and laughable moments (along with the cries and battles!) :)
