Update, day 11

People keep asking how we are, so I'm going to put it in writing. Eve: She is our "Tiny E Two". Our first Tiny E was Eliza, who was much smaller. But Eve is definitely the tiniest one at our house. She started out with a 3 ounce advantage over her brother, but he is a champion nurser and caught up with her by the time they left the hospital. By now, judging by their cheeks and how they feel, he has definitely surpassed her in weight. At eleven days old, Eve seems very social. She is much happier when she is touching someone. We are so glad she came with a buddy. And she is pretty intense. She complains more and still gets worked up and bites and gnaws her way through her meals. But she is extra sweet, and she is seriously into pink. We don't know if that is because 98% of the clothes we have for her are pink or if it is because she actually is a very girly girl.

 Griffin: Griffin is such a sweet little boy. He seems easy going and mellow to us, especially in comparison to his little sister. And he loves his food. He would be happy to just hang around nursing all day. Wait. This is sounding very like his older brother. He has much of the peace that Wyatt brought with him when he was born. I love my baby boys!

 Me: I got 6 hours of sleep last night! Boo yah! They weren't in a row, but still! I am encouraged. I woke up singing. My energy level is still laughable, but my incision is slowly, ever so slowly, healing. Alan says it looks good. I try not to look at it. I feel like I have almost lost all the swelling. I just still have a little residual puffiness in my ankles and legs, but my older kids keep telling me what a small person I seem. Even to myself, I am kind of amazed at how skinny my fingers and arms and legs look. And the belly will come too. Probably. Some day.

 I am posting pictures of us today. Eve, then Griffin, then before and after of me. You'll notice I'm wearing the same outfit in the two pictures. I'm at that awkward moment when I realized that even though I might fit into some of my pre-pregnant clothes, my maternity ones are probably more stylish and in better shape. My favorite things right now are sleep, being more comfortable than I've been in months, and my iphone, which allows me to accomplish a few things while I sit and nurse or pump.
