Yes... we are officially in the "honeymoon" phase with our precious Julia. We are having an absolute blast just getting to know her and trying to find ANYTHING about her features that looks like either one of us, or Avery. We are shocked at how different the girls look! We just assumed they'd be identical, I guess, but we are loving how different their little features are from each other... They definitely have their own identities!
So far- so good! Julia is VERY mellow. She's working hard at learning how to nurse and she's quickly becoming a pro! She seems to be a sweet and patient baby girl. Avery is proudly wearing her "big sister" shirts, but we're pretty sure she has NO idea what's going on. Ha! :) She's been up to the hospital both days to visit us, and today (Friday) was a little easier than yesterday, so we're making progress! Avery gently touched Julia's hair, and proudly pointed out her eyes and nose saying out loud, "Eye... Noh..." respectively.
I can tell it's going to be a rough couple of months (or more) before we're all adjusted to life with two under the age of 2, but we are so blessed and in love with both of our baby girls and can't wait to settle into our new life.
Here are some more pictures! :) (I have a TON that I'd love to post, but I really should be sleeping rather than blogging and so I'm going to choose a handful for now and then post the rest later.) Hugs to everyone and THANK YOU for caring for us/praying over us the past few days! We love you all and can't wait to introduce you to our Jules!
Avery opening her gift "from Julia"... A baby of her own! (Thanks, Gram!!) ;)

Julia did this on her own and CRACKED ME UP!... look how her hands are folded... I loved it.
