Henry is fitting into his role as big brother perfectly! I almost hate to brag because I am sure this is the honeymoon period, but he has not shown even one ounce of jealousy. Tonight at dinner she started to cry and he announced to us he would check her and then ran over to her bassinet and told her it would be okay...precious! He has shown us what a big boy he is and I am just so impressed with him.
When he came to meet Reese at the hospital he walked in with a big smile on his face and acted as if things had always been this way. He met his new sister, checked her out, posed for the photo opp an then looked at us as if to say, whats the big deal? We gave him a gift from Reese and once he opened that he did exactly what he did in the video below...like one hundred times!!!
Reese is the missing link we never knew we were missing. It feels like she has always been with us and I now totally get how I am able to share my love. Just like her brother as a newborn, she has some jaundic issues so she has been on a light bed here at home. So our time so far has been focused on getting her stronger with lots of light time and feedings. I do just love the precious time we get when I get to take her out of the light bed and feed her. She is just a squishy little love and it is so hard to put her back in the bed when we are done.

Grandma Titi is here basically doing everything for us which has been a dream. She and Henry are like peas and carrotts and they have been playing a lot of hide and seek and other goofy games. I believe I heard him tell Titi today he was her boss, which was pretty funny.
I can't remember the last time I felt this lucky or happy, but I also know the sleep deprivation hasn't kicked in just yet.
