A Little Ditty 'Bout Jack and Brynley....

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things are going since we brought Brynley home. First off, let me thank God for giving us such an easy-going, sweet baby girl. So far, she sleeps well, eats well, and is just a little angel. (In case you're wondering, I am knocking on wood.) I know babies can change at the drop of a hat, so we're just enjoying it for as long as it lasts. As far as Jack goes, he was pretty shook up at the arrival of his baby sister. He cried hard and asked us to "take her back". Needless to say, seeing my normally sweet and out-going son completely sad and depressed has been pretty hard to take. I had some good cries in those first few days home. But, he is slowly starting to come around and I feel a lot better about that. We even managed a trip out of the house as a family last night. We were dreading how it would go, but Jack took it pretty well....although when we stopped at the ATM, he did ask if he could "punch sissy in the nose". We've learned to ignore the questions and rude comments and try to focus on what a great big brother he is. He's been getting so much love and attention, and hugs and kisses that he hardly has time to be angry about his little sister. I know he will learn to love her, it's just going to be a little rough until that time comes. But all in all, our first week-and-a-half home has been a pretty good one....a little sleep-deprived, but good. I promise to post some pictures of the kids as soon as Shane shows me how. I hope you're all having a great weekend!
