My girls

I've been so busy it's insane!  My mom came out to visit and help me on the 24th of May and stayed until the 31st.  It was so great to have her here to help me adjust.  She spent a lot of time with Keilah and helping me take care of Linnea.  I miss her and her help now that she's gone!  I felt great coming out of the hospital.  I guess it was the fast labor, but I was up and at 'em going to the store and park/pool with the family.  Linnea is doing really well.  Her jaundice is gone and she's eating like crazy.  She isn't bugged by big sister Keilah attacking her with kisses and loves her binky.  She's such a good baby!  Keilah gets jealous every once in awhile and makes sure I notice her, but she hasn't gone ballistic and acted out too much yet.  Linnea will be two weeks old tomorrow and we'll take her to the doctor's by Friday.  I can't believe how fast time flies!  Nate's mom comes out next week to hang out and help out (I'm so happy!).  I was telling Nate that I think being a parent is like going on a mission in a way.  No one ever tells you how hard it is to serve a mission and no one ever tells you how hard being a parent is (or maybe I just didn't listen!).  However, I love my girls and I love being a mother.  It's been so great to watch the two interact.  Pictures to come!
