Our little Aliyah turned 3 days old today. We have survived 3 nights with a newborn and we are still smiling. Aliyah definately has her nights and days mixed up so Loren and I take shifts. When she cries at night she just fusses a bit and wants to eat or be held. Good thing we have auntie Nicole coming here on Saturday to help with all the holding. The kids love holding little Aliyah and helping to change and dress her. Now that she is here we can't imagine our family without her.
Mishonne and Haley can't get enough of their new sister
Even Logan likes holding baby Aliyah

A funny story about Denton seeing me nurse for the first time. I began to feed Aliyah after getting home from the hospital. Denton's eyes got really big and he came over to investigate. Once he saw what was really going on he got a horrified look on his face and yelled, "No, no baby!" I started laughing and told him it was okay and that she is just drinking Mommy's milk. He looked at me with a puzzled expression and promptly went to retrieve his sippy cup and offer Aliyah a drink the more conventional way. He since has not worried about her "method" of getting milk.

So glad to hear that everyone is doing well, and that you'll be getting some help soon.
Denton's experience is priceless!
