I took this picture yesterday and think it is incredibly cute! Abby has really been in to holding Caleb's hand lately and who am I to argue with her showing love toward him? This picture cracks me up because Abby's face is what resulted when I said "Abby, can you smile?" I love it!
As I type this, my sweet girl is asleep in her big girl bed and my sweet boy is asleep on me. Wow, the feelings of awe and amazement that flow through me all day long - they are now twice as many as before! I never wondered "how will I ever love another child this much?" but always wonder "who am I that God would bless me like this?" Even though it is hard to get back in the groove of less sleep, waking up during the night to feed my boy, and this time not being able to always catch a nap when the baby sleeps, it is completely worth everything and I am so thankful for God planning for both Abby and Caleb to be in our family, and in His time.
The last couple of weeks before Caleb came I was beginning to wonder I would be able to devote the attention to both of them that I wanted to and that they need. Things seem to be going well, no one has had a major meltdown, and everyone has continued to have normal meals on a normal schedule! I do miss spending all my kid-time with Abby and I do sometimes wish that I could just sit and stare at Caleb like I could with Abby, but never would I ever trade what I've got. God is so good!

I just love hearing what it's like to be a mommy of TWO! Of course, I'm very anxious and curious with the same feelings you had. Glad to hear things are going well. You have two MAJOR cuties!!
