Well, we survived our first week at home with Josiah. We had a rough start to the week as Josiah got admitted to Blank Children’s hospital Sunday morning with high jaundice levels. So, after spending Sunday, Monday and Tuesday under the billi-lights in the hospital, he is now doing much better. He has been on a billi-blanket at home since Tuesday and will probably be on it until our next appointment on Monday. We are just so glad to have him home.

I am happy to report that Anya is taking her roll as big sister very seriously and has made it her personal mission to give Josiah a kiss or hug at least every 5 minutes! She has been such a good helper with everything and has adjusted surprisingly well to having another person in the house. Jason & I are so proud of her and enjoy watching her interact with her little brother. Today was her first day back at daycare since Josiah’s arrival and she was so excited to tell all her friends about her new little brother….we even made cupcakes for her to give to her class to help celebrate his birth. She was so thrilled that she got to put the sprinkles on the cupcakes!

As far as Josiah, he has pretty much been another perfect baby. He is nursing like a champ and sleeping great during the night only waking to eat every 3 hours or so. My mom (bless her heart) has taken the night shifts and changes his diapers and then brings him in to me to nurse–so I have it pretty good right now and will definitely miss that extra help when she is gone!

Well, here are a few more pictures of our first week with our bigger and better family.
