we all have new roles in the house these days. old jobs we'd forgotten about and new ones we didn't know we'd have to take on. mia has had more adjustments to make than anyone (well...maybe not as much as gideon...) and she's been a star.
where josh and i have been getting used to breastfeeding, diaper changing and sleep deprivation mia has had to get used to sharing her parents, being out of school, a baby in mom's bed and having to use her "inside voice" more and more each passing day.
we were so worried that she was going to start acting out, insisting on sleeping in our bed, becoming more and more attached to one of us and being resentful of gideon. so far we haven't had to deal with too much. her sleep routine has shifted a bit - it takes her longer to settle into bed at night and she insists on napping in our bed during the day. but that's it. she is sweet as can be with gideon (when she remembers that he's here - he sleeps a LOT still) and is very understanding when we can't attend to her right away because we're busy with the baby or something else in the house.
of course...josh is still home full time. she still has attention from one of us pretty much whenever she wants. starting next week this could be a whole different ball game. please wish us luck.
