Home Sweet Home

Alas, we are all finally home from the hospital and this past week, although quite a blur, has been absolutely wonderful. The belly picture of me is at 38 1/2 weeks, and if I only knew then what was to come... oh wow. I have loved every single moment of being a mommy... even those sleepless nights with the two of them competing to see who can scream the longest and loudest. :)  I love how delightfully different Evie and Graham are; how the Lord made each of them special and gave them to me. I feel so blessed and priveleged to be their mommy; it has been the greatest honor.  As I was saying though, the only thing these two share  is their birthday; they could be no more opposite. My handsome Graham refuses to miss a thing with his eyes (and hungry mouth) wide open at ALL times. He is so alert and observative and brings us all plenty of laughs and smiles. Evie,on the other hand, is quite alright with sleeping the day away and one would be fortunate to catch a glimpse of her eyes, but oh does she love her arms and fingers, fully stretching every inch of them.  I am still not sure how aware they are of one another at this point, seeing as how one can be literally screaming in the other's ear and the latter will remain in a complete blissful slumber.  They do love to cuddle though, no doubt and all the grandmommy's, aunts, and myself have tried to catch as many of these adorable moments on film as possible. We had our first sponge bath on Tuesday and Evie and I had a wonderful time. Unfortunately, little Mr. Graham did NOT share the same sentiment for this time of soap and suds. :)  I can't wait to see what the next days and weeks have to come and I will try my best between diaper changes to share it with you. :) Motherhood truly is the greatest blessing.
