The new Sissy

Our littlest Diffee is finally here and we couldn't be happier. Life has definitely not slowed down for us. Between Alex's therapies, appointments and keeping up with a newborn we are busier than ever.

We've had lots of help from the fam and don't know what we would do without them. I ended up having a c-section which is a big deal having an almost 20lb toddler at home. I was trying to avoid the c-section but Ryan was really cozy and proved to be a true Diffee by showing up late. I was one week over due and after an ultrasound to check on the baby, I was told my amnio fluid was too low to continue my pregnancy and I would have to have a c-section that evening. Ryan and I made it through the surgery without any complications and she is perfectly healthy. We are absolutely in love with her and in baby heaven :) I love newborns and being home with her and Alex has been amazing and something I don't take for granted. As you can imagine, our experience with Ryan has been incredibly different from Alex's and to top it off, they couldn't be more opposite. Alex is our calm child and Ryan is rambunctious. Alex is always hot and Ryan is always cold. Ryan loves to be held and cuddled and Alex was never much of a cuddlier.

Alex has adjusted well to her new baby sister although it was a little rough at first with mommy and daddy giving someone else so much attention. Now she reaches out to touch sissy and says she loves her which is so sweet. Alex's eyes are getting better but still not completely cleared up. She had blood work done last week that was ordered by Endocrinology to see why we haven't seen a spike in her growth. She is growing, but not as much as she should be with the growth hormone she is taking. We are waiting to hear back on the results this week. Other than that, Alex has been in good health and working on her therapies. We have more pics to come but here are a few for now....
