Since we brought Audrey home, we have all been adjusting very well. The dogs are both very interested in everything she does. Jackson wants to be her protector; he whines every time she cries. Stella wants to sniff her, but that's about it. I think she is more interested in making sure the baby isn't the only one getting attention. She even warmed up to Billy's aunt today, while she was holding the baby. As soon as Angie put Audrey down, Stella wouldn't go near her again.
Billy and I are managing to get a decent amount of sleep. That is not to say that we aren't waking up a couple times a night for feedings and diaper changes. We had to wash the changing table cover 3 times yesterday! It's a good thing we have two to rotate. It is tough being on Audrey's schedule as opposed to our own. We are managing to keep enough order in the house that we aren't going crazy, but we are definitely being tested on flexibility and patience. It is all worth it though. She is so beautiful and loveable. I love having her curled up in my arms. I love watching Billy rock her to sleep. Even though this is a big change for all of us, it still feels like a perfect fit.
