First weekend at home

Sabrina and Grandma giving Jillian her first sink bath at home on December 4

The girls love holding Jillian, and love getting their picture taken holding her.

We bought these big sister and little sister outfits back in August and the girls have anxiously awaited wearing them. We'll have to try again to get a better picture once Jilly's actually fits and when she's happy.

Also on Friday, December 4th, Grandpa Jeff and Aunt Sarah came to meet baby Jilly and also to bring Benson's new bunk beds. Mike and Grandpa spent the better part of Saturday morning assembling the bunk beds. Our plan is to eventually move Grace into Benson's room on one of the bunks, and then Jillian and Sabrina will share the other room. Grandpa and Aunt Sarah were here for less than 24 hours but got lots of work done while they were here, which is what usually happens when Grandpa comes. Thanks Dad!

On Monday, Sabrina, Jilly, and I all took a nice long afternoon nap. Turns out Sabrina had an ear infection which is why she was willing to take a nap and I'm sure explains the length of it. Grace had been to the doctor the Monday before and was on antibiotics for a sinus infection. So after not being sick for months, all 3 of our older kids were sick within days of the birth of our new baby. Perfect timing. But neither Mike, I, or the baby got sick so it turned out ok.
