Finally she made it!! Gracie Elizabeth Wilson!!!

Well on 1/19/11, my little (well not so little) Gracie Elizabeth Wilson made her first appearance. Weighing in at a hefty 8lbs 14oz and 22inches long. She was a big girl...and i felt every pound:) I guess that is what i get for going 10days over due...they finally talked me into being induced..even though i didn't want to...i figured it was time for her to get on out of there and deal with the cold like the rest of us had to:) She is now 3wks and two days old...sorry its taken me so long to post something, life is a little more difficult with two at home now!! Someone once told me it was easier with two...i'm still waiting on that to hold true!!!! I have one on a night schedule and one on a day schedule. Its getting better the past week...she has been sleeping much better, however not in her bed...she falls asleep in the swing for the first part of the night and then her bouncy seat the last part of the night...which i place in the crib so i can sleep in my bedroom and not have to worry about the dogs disturbing her...or eating her:) She is a good baby for the majority of the time, but doesn't like to be put down...she likes to be held...who can blame her, i carried her for 42weeks...whats a few more?Big Sister B'lynne has done a great job at welcoming her!!! I was a little worried B would try and hold her or mess with her a lot...this is not the case, in fact most of the time she could care less that the baby is even here, which is a good thing!! I have noticed that right when baby is crying and needing attention..that is when B wants attention has well, which can be difficult when i'm the only parent at home!! I usually have each of them on my lap...both crying...both demanding attention from me, so needless to say i'm super excited to see Corey when he gets home from work!! The baby seems to prefer me over him...so he usually spends time with B while i'm doing stuff with the baby. Other then that...just trying to get a schedule going, i go back to work in a few weeks (March 2nd)....man the time has went by fast..i'm sure not fast to the people covering my job....i think they are looking forward to having me back...or i atleast tell myself that!! I'll try and update again before i head back to work, but here are a few pics.
