Our New Addition

Allow me to introduce the newest member of the MitMit family - Charlotte Elaine.
She was born 4/13/10 at 10:35am, 7lb 2oz, 19.5" long.

Day 1 - at the hospital



At home with Mom. Yes, that is brown hair. A ton of it. More hair at birth than Addie had at 12 months old.



Napping (see Mom - I do sleep!)
Good work to Charlotte on executing on most of our pre-birth directions - she definitely looks like her mom, although we still need to work on the sleeping bit.

The return of the sleepless nights have definitely been an adjustment - some nights go better than others. But we appear to have a one-hour-snacker on our hands (read = goes 1 hour between nursings), just when you're starting to fall back to sleep...

The other big adjustment has been for big sister Addison. On our second day home from the hospital she asked Dad when Charlotte was going home. (Well you see Addie - Charlotte is home.) Addie definitely seems to have significantly more energy than before baby came (or maybe its just my sleep-deprived perception), but she can be a good helper. Sometimes. When the mood strikes her. I'm enjoying having Eric home on his leave as keeping Addison focused (and avoiding the out of control crazies!) is a full time job. Fortunately she returns part time to daycare next week - relief for all of us.

I'll leave you with this picture of the sisters. Sisters, its all about sisters.
