A no photo update...

Little Miss Elizabeth looks like she's already growing and filling out. Her face and head have changed still more since the first couple of days. She is a good eater and an even better sleeper. I have had to wake her up to get her to eat. She eats about twice in the night, and I usually end up getting up to change her diaper/burp her sometime after midnight. She's very content. She's been sleeping with me, and I have to say I love the feeling of having a baby in the crook of my arm during the night. I just hate my husband's flailing elbows :)

The children just love her. They can't wait to hold her and 'pet' her, and Nathaniel says "she's adorable" about 20 times a day.

Yesterday was my first day home alone with everyone and it went great till nap time. Just after 11:00 I laid them all down (we- no they get up early), and they slept till 2:00! Then my Grandma showed up, so I wasn't really alone. She asked if I could use help with the laundry. I gratefully accepted, and she proceeded to wash clothes, floors, toilets, windows, kitchen counters, dishes, tables, vacuum, and organize the kids' rooms. She can clean circles around anyone I know. I'm embarrased and thankful too.

Yesterday was my mom's birthday, and yesterday Vicki had her twins! I'm so excited and can't wait to see pictures and hear how it is to add the fourth and fifth children to your family at the same time!
