First Night, First Day at Home








We are adjusting to our life with 5 children. We arrived home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and Joel is settling in. Our first night was relatively painless with a few diaper changes, a couple feedings, and almost no crying. Addie and Ellie can't get enough of him, constantly asking for the next turn at holding him. I'm feeling good, Josh has been a huge help, he, Addie, and Ellie brought me eggs, toast, and coffee in bed this morning, so sweet! Life with a new baby is so sweet, I hope I remember this when Joel decides to get cranky. The overwhelming love and support from so many friends and our family has reminded me of God's great love for us. Thank you to everyone who has called, prayed, texted, e-mailed, sent goodies, brought us food, offered to babysit, etc. We are so grateful to be surrounded and supported by you!
