hello.

I know it's been a while since I've posted. I'm sure you know why:) I don't have any pictures to post but here is a quick update.

Grace is doing beautifully. Dave and I are adjusting to life with a newborn, and we quickly remember what it is like to not get a full nights sleep! The first 2 weeks were great. Last week was horrible, I had mastitis and migraines, and was just really emotional. This week is going better. Grace is growing, growing, growing. At her last check up she was 8lbs...almost prestons birth weight;) She loves to eat and be cuddled and we love to cuddle her!

Preston adores Gracie and always refers to himself as 'big brother.' If she cries he runs up to her and says, "don't worry, big brother is here." I've even heard him refer to himself as 'bigger, stronger brother.' So far there have been no signs of jealousy or any acting out.

I am adjusting to life as a mom of 2. We've been sticking pretty close to home and have been taking it pretty easy.  My goal is to get organized around the house to make things as easy as possible.  One of this things I've been working on meal planning. If you are interested here is a link to a blog with a great way to organize your meals for a year, yes a year! I have tried to organize meals many times before and this is the easiest and most practical way that I've found.

Well, I am off to start my day and enjoy this cool fall weather!
