Friday Night Leftovers (Welcome to the Family Version)

This was the week we have been anxiously waiting for and now we are home & settling in.  For obvious reasons, this FNL version is all about family and the new Heck... Marilyn Jane.
  • I'm wondering if she will have a nickname?  Thomas doesn't have one; Abbigail has a million.
  • I'm wondering who is more tired - Daddy or Mommy?  Daddy does EVERYTHING that doesn't involve nursing the baby (to include diaper changes during the daylight hours); Mommy is the milk machine as of now.
  • Speaking of milk... explaining that Marilyn drinks "baby milk" and it comes from mommy has been hilarious to say the least.  Abby doesn't get it, but Thomas is very curious and intuitive. 
  • Thomas is so excited to be the helper and the new big brother.  The first thing he wants to do in the AM is hold her & the last thing he wants to do at night is help put her in the crib & say goodnight.
  • Abby also wants to be the helper, but doesn't want Thomas to touch any of the baby things.  I think she is feeling a little territorial about baby things since that is "her thing."  She also is in love with Marilyn's tiny feet, hands, eyes and ears.  It really is adorable.

It is awesome that they are being such great big siblings. I'm sure it's some adjustment for all of you.
Again, congratulations and welcome beautiful baby girl.
