Spring Break

We are officially on Spring Break over here. Abigail was done on Wednesday at noon and Colin went through Thursday. Thursday around 2:00 Abigail took off with Colin's parents for Florida. She's really excited to go with them for TEN days. I'm so glad she gets to go, but I do think I'm going to miss her. Right now the break is nice since she has to be constantly reminded not to smother her sister, but ten days is a long time. Colin and Henry left today and will come back on Thursday. I really wanted Colin home at the beginning and end of the break, but also know it's nice for he and Henry to go down there. I'm jealous and will miss it, but didn't think it would be a good idea for me to travel with a 2 week-old or this soon after my c-section. Next year we'll all go again for sure though!

We're doing well here...still adjusting, but doing well. Johanna enjoys sleeping most of the time. She also likes to spit up. Well, barf really. :) She actually went to the ER last night because she's been sleeping SO much, spitting up a lot and has a bad cough. After drawing blood (with is terribly pathetic on a 17 day old infant!) and doing a chest x-ray they determined it's just an upper respiratory infection, not pneumonia or anything serious like that. We are watching her weight and I'm trying to feed her more often to keep the little one healthy!

She's such a sweet little girl and generally content when she's awake. I love looking into her eyes and snuggling with her. I just love this newborn stage...love it.
I'm feeling great...really having a great recovery from this c-section. I'm so thankful for that. We've had so many wonderful friends and family bring meals and help in other ways...that really helps the healing process!

I'm looking forward to a little shopping with my mom, sister, Joshua and Johanna in the next couple of days. I love fitting into my old clothes, but could use some new stuff for sure. Hopefully we'll have some luck and the babies will cooperate!

Here are a couple new pictures of Johanna:

Wow - you are going to have a nice quiet couple of days! Enjoy! I hope that Johanna stops spitting up and feels better soon!

I know you are a little sad to miss going to Florida..but I think it sounds fun to just be with your little baby!
