We arrived to a spotless house and wonderful lunch, courtesy of my amazing parents and mother-in-law who all tag-teamed like a well-oiled machine to prepare the home for our entrance. It was a great way to start our time together as a growing family.
Of course, today was a bit more of a reality check, with Garfield going back to work, all of us quite sleep-deprived, and the kids being, well, three kids. Things always seem overwhelming when you've got a newborn nursing 'round the clock. It makes it difficult to even function on the lowest "mommy level", which is why I'm glad we still have Grandma here helping. I now know and expect that it takes a full 2-3 months for the adjustment of a new baby to "click", and things to start falling into place. So for the time being, I'm just trying to enjoy this precious new baby, along with her older sister and brother who love her to pieces already. They can't get enough of her.
Here are a few pictures of the past few days:

We are so happy for you guys! She looks adorable and I can see everyone is so happy to have the extra "two feet". Take care. We are so glad everything went so well.
You look radiant! Let me know when I can bring you a meal...

She is precious indeed! I hope that everything adjusts smoothly. Praise God for grandmas!
Beautiful baby and a beautiful family! We're so happy for you guys! Much love!
We are SOOOO jealous of all that hair!! Steph you look great! Such a BEAUTIFUL family!
You are so gorgeous - even in the hospital! How do you do it? You are in my thoughts & prayers as you adjust to life with another addition!
Sheeesh...two days with the kids was WAY too short, especially my few sessions of quiet with "Baby E" (and yes, though I know you don't like the moniker, I'll likely end up calling her 'Dear Lizzy' like Mr. Bennett did with his favourite daughter in Pride & Prejudice).
Another keeper, I say; let's take that 'Baby-Gaga' ticker off the blog header now, eh what?
You did well, as always, child.
