Who knew having newborn dropped off at your doorstep would be just as tiring as having a newborn yourself? Haha We've been keeping busy to say the least. The day after Alli came home, Pete and the girls went to the Cape. I had some time to get acquainted with Alli at home while they were gone. Then the following week the girls started school. Those things plus Alli has had 4 doctors appts in 2 weeks...holy busy and tired.
The girls are AMAZING with Alli - they treat her like she's always belonged here and they're so loving and gentle with her. It really has astonished me. I thought maybe they would show some jealousy or regress a bit but they haven't shown any of that. Nothing but pure love for child.
After 3 weeks (yes that's THREE) we finally have a social worker. We just got a call tonight and won't be meeting with her until Monday next week but at least I have a contact now. I hope she's ready :)
Alli is doing well. She's been sick since last week with an upper respiratory infection and there's not much we can do about it but let her ride it out. She seems to be getting on a much better sleeping schedule. She WAS sleeping all day and awake all night but she's slowly changing that around.
She smiles already. I can't tell you how good of a feeling this is. I remember that when the girls came home from the hospital (at 3, 4 & 6 weeks) it STILL took them a long time to smile. They didn't have the muscles or reflexes to do so. So to see Alli smile is really something I love. She also cries...really loud...when you don't have her bottle ready the second she gets hungry! LOL
She's loved <3 p="p">
