Week 1

Our first couple of days home have been nice and relaxing. Brandon is really helping out with Ava and the house stuff, and I am trying to get some rest and take care of Sophia and Ava.

Sophia is doing really well feeding and taking lots of beauty sleep. Her schedule is eat, sleep, poop/pee. She has been awake a couple of times and loves to stare at Ava. Her eyes are so blue and wide. She also has the longest eyelashes!

Here are some pictures!
