First Week with Baby Girl!

I’ve always done a blog post about our first week home with new babies, but life is a little busier with 3! So, here we go, 2 weeks in!  

We were really excited to get home and introduce Holland to Brooks and Rhett! Brooks has been so interested in little sister since I got pregnant that I was so excited to introduce them. I’ve honestly been a little nervous about Rhett. He has not exactly been excited and has actually been the self proclaimed baby forever! Haha! I knew I needed to be careful with this one, but I was still so excited for them to meet! 



When we pulled in the driveway, Brooks wasn’t asleep for his nap yet, so he came outside to greet us with the BIGGEST smile on his face! We brought the gift from Holland and Holland and asked what he wanted to see first and he voted to see his sister first! Haha! But was also VERY excited about his gifts! He named his panda Bruiser. 







It was nice to get a little one on one time with Brooks and Holland. This little boy made me cry almost the moment I got home! He introduced himself to his sister. He said, “Hi Holland, I’m your brother and I’m going to protect you and teach you things, like how to read.” Seriously cue.the.tears! I was a mess!

Rhett woke up from his nap and he was actually really excited to meet Holland! He actually chose to see Holland before opening his gift too. He opened his gift pretty quickly after. He named his pig Bacon. 





I was surprised he wanted to hold her, but so excited!  









He seriously asks to hold her every day, first thing when he wakes up. 




Trevor had to work on some things in our new shop, so I wore this sweet girl and played with the boys! 


Enjoying the weather! 


We got to zoom and introduce our lifegroup to Holland. Love these people! 


She’s the cutest little thing! 


We enjoyed the beautiful weather with a nature walk. 


The boys got to draw anything they saw. 


First bath at home! 






Little angel! Not a fan of the bath yet, but she sure slept good! Speaking of sleep, she’s definitely had a couple fussy hours, but this little girl is the BEST sleeper! We’ve had to wake her up to eat most of the time in the middle of the night. And thankfully she goes right back to sleep! 

I always love a little comparison! Brooks, Rhett and Holland- first bath at home!




We had to get this wall build between the garage and what will be our game room. So this took up 2 days of our maternity/paternity leave. 


Little lady slept through it all! 





The boys were a big help during all of this too! 








I wanted to do something fun and one on one with the boys, so chalk paint it is!! They had a blast! 






Worker bee Rhett


Finishing the wall! Wahoo!! 






Full laps, full hearts! 


One week in and he finally gave her a kiss on the cheek! Now he asks to give her a kiss every night! It’s adorable!! He says “baby holland” the CUTEST way! I need to get it on video so I never forget his sweet voice. 


Such a proud big brother! 

Miss Holland, you are the perfect addition to our family! We love you SOOOOO much!! You have the BEST big brothers and the most amazing dad! Time, slow down so I can bask in the baby snuggles forever!!
