At Dorothy's two-week check-up on Friday, the doctor asked if we had hit the wall yet. She was referring to lack of sleep, stress of a new baby, etc. While we don't feel that we've hit it, I'm starting to feel like we're bumping up against the wall.
The first week with Dorothy went pretty well. This last week (yesterday was her 2-week 'birthday' already!) has been a bit tougher, especially for Elizabeth, because Dorothy has been eating a lot more frequently, and hence waking up more often. Friends have been helping out, and my parents just arrived, so things aren't as bad as they could be. And I couldn't imagine how we'd be doing if only one of us were able to stay home. But still, we're starting to feel a bit frayed. Of course, it's all worth it for this beautiful baby girl.
