But first a quick report. Our midwife visited again today, and we're happy to report that Evangeline is now weighing in at 3.42kg, already well over her birth weight of 3.33kg. What a blessing to know she's thriving so well already! She's a great eater (we call her "our ravenous princess") and subsequently seems to sleep much more solidly and longer than Nathanael did at this age. We don't know how long this will last, but we'll take every day of great sleep that she'll give us!
We had our first outing with Evangeline this morning, a walk to the grocery store in the stroller with Dad and Mom. The grocery clerk was so excited to see she'd been born and was curious to hear what her big brother thinks. We ran into our neighbor across the hall and had a wonderful chat with her about our new little princess. And of course a few older ladies stopped us to admire little Eva along the way.
Nathanael continues to enjoy kissing and holding Evangeline and learning how to care for an infant, though he really wants her to be awake more to play and doesn't quite like how much time Mom needs to be with her right now. We are quite in awe of being a family of four. We feel incredibly blessed by these two treasures.

She is so sweet! And I love that you have her in the same positions as Nathanael in the chair. :) Again, we are so thrilled for you guys to be a family of four, and we are so glad she's being such an easy baby so far! Love you all!
So precious! Dan and I are so beyond happy for you all. We'll keep praying that everything continues to go well as you adjust to being a family of four! Blessings and love for everyone! :)
