So far I've only been "solo" for 2 days since Sylvia was born, and we just kinda rolled through each day as it went along. And I was glad for my 1 morning cup of coffee. :-) Daniel took off for the week after Sylvia was born and my sister-in-law came to visit and help Wed. - Fri. of this past week. She was a huge help, getting the dishes washed, the floors swept, and did a boat-load of laundry for me.
Today I am back to flying solo, so we will just roll along with the day however it goes!! Last night was the first night I let Sylvia go longer stretches (about 5 hrs.) between her night-time feedings, so I am hopefully a little more rested, too. (Even though, on the whole, I have been MORE rested since Sylvia was born than I was for about a month before her birth!)
All committed help has already been here, and those 2 weeks flew past!! On that note, I can't believe today is Sylvia's 2 week birthday, either!! Now I am really back in the saddle, so whatever happens or doesn't happen is up to me. Thankfully we are still getting meals, and my sisters gave us a LOT of food. We have meals coming every other day yet this week, a well-stocked freezer of casseroles ready to bake, and a few more people that have said they want to bring us a meal in another week or two. Wow! "Blessed" is an appropriate word!!
I know this is a shorter post, but I am starving for breakfast plus I need to get up and get moving for the day. I hope to be able to post more soon!

Looks like you all are doing well! Your girls look so happy together! So glad your adjustment to two is going well!
Haha, I feel way more well-rested with a newborn than I did during my last month or so of pregnancy, too! During that last stretch I felt like anytime I sat down and got comfy, I fell asleep. :-)
So glad to hear that you're transitioning well to having two kids and that you've had so much help. That's a lifesaver!
