Big sister Molly...

Hi everyone. Thanks for your support and prayers over the last week. Things are starting to get a little bit more normalized around here. I'm finally feeling human after my C-section and Steve and I have worked out a sleeping schedule at night. I go to bed at 9:00 (or earlier if I can) and he takes the feedings until 2:30'ish and sleeps with the babies out in the TV room. Then I get up and take the morning shift and he goes to bed. That way we all get a decent chunk of uninterrupted sleep. Molly is getting used to the idea of having the babies around and we're seeing little improvements in her behavior every day (although she's far from being back to her "normal" self).


One thing is for sure... Molly loves her new brother and sister. She constantly wants to hold them and kiss them. But the cutest thing is that every half hour or so she goes and rests her cheek on one of them and closes her eyes in her form of a gentle cuddle. It's very endearing and melts my heart. And DeAnna captured that perfectly in this photo. Molly definitely loves her new babies! By the way, if you haven't figured it out yet, that's Paige on the bottom and Garrett laying on top of her.

Glad to hear that things are getting better slowly. What a great guy Steve is to be so helpful, and letting you get the sleep you so deeply need. Still praying for lots of sleep, rest, peace, happy babies and understanding for Molly! Let me know when we can come get Molly for a bit!

They are beautiful! What a sweet photo. Your sleeping plan sounds good--though I know that you must be tired are those are short night. You are in my prayers.
