Family of Four

We are quickly adjusting to the life of a family of four! It has been so nice to have Alex home this whole week to get used to taking care of two young kids. He goes back to work on Monday... THAT will be the real test! I anticipate the hardest part to be pumping while watching Blake and Claire. We tried the whole nursing thing, just like we did with Blake, and it is just not for me. Alex will not be traveling again with work until mid-January, so hopefully, by then I have a system worked out for pumping and taking care of the kids during the day, bedtime, and through the night. Blake is not a good sleeper, so the bedtime and through the night goals are difficult! Claire is gaining weight like crazy. We have been to the pediatrician for her twice, and she was already back up to her birth weight plus some! No jaundice or other issues. We feel very lucky and blessed to have two healthy children. Here are some pictures of how our time has been spent over this past week and a half of being home. Notice that we have already taken some trips out with Claire! We have been to IHOP, the mall, to see Santa, Target, and the park! I also threw in a couple pictures of our "fancy" Thanksgiving!
