Baby Abrie is now here. She is perfect in every sense of the word.
It's crazy, and so incredibly surreal, for both Dan and I to know that we have these three beautiful little girls as ours for our entire life. We feel so, so blessed.
Maddie and Faith have been nothing short of amazing as big sisters. Maddie was so little when Faith was born that it seemed like it really took her until her Beebster was much more interactive and playful with her to have that special sisterly connection. Those 6 months of extra time that Faith has had really seem to make a difference. Faith has been awesome. She has always had a love for babies, and she just adores her baby 'Beeba.' She's been calling her 'Beeba' just like what she calls her Ella. It's really cute. She is constantly asking if Abrie has "booped" so that she can check it, and wants to hold her and kiss her just as much as Madison does. The only time she was scared at all was when she first saw Momma at the hospital on Saturday morning. My poor Flop. But, other than that, she has been amazing as a first-time big sister. We'll see how it continues to go!
Madison is just amazingly doting on her baby sissy. She is in love with her; it's the neatest thing. Faith feeds off of her Dee's energy and enthusiasm, and it really is neat to watch them with Abrie. All Maddie would say in the hospital was, "awww, Abrie. You're so beautiful. You're my Abrie. awww, Abrie." She would say this constantly. She wants to help with everything, and wants to hold her all the time.
The fact that Cran and Beebster have each other is perfect. They've been doing really well playing together when I'm sitting and feeding the little Beeba. They have been happy little souls from the get-go (even though they actually have both been a little sick) and I'm so glad that they have each other through this transition. I'm not naive enough to think that everything will work perfectly without some minor crises here and there- especially when Dan has to go back to work- but, they're doing really well and adjusting great.
And, Abrie is everything in a daughter I could have ever hoped for, and that much more. We're so in love with her already, and enjoying these days while she's still our baby girl.
