The Last Few Weeks

Prior to Stella's arrival I thought that a shift from 3 to 4 kids in our household wouldn't be significantly more difficult -- different, busier, but overall a similar level of energy.  Being the "veteran" parents we are, I assumed we'd slip seamlessly into the caring-for-a-newborn phase while simultaneously managing the original trio.  We've certainly slipped into parenting all four kids, but not without seams -- many, many seams.  Fortunately, as the days and weeks pass, the seams become less prominent and the awesomeness of all four of our kids takes center stage.

One week old.

A favorite napping spot for both of us.

First bath at home (not the most accurate photo because she LOVES bath time).

Iver and "his" baby.

First trip out in our jogger.

A family stroll to the espresso stand (often frequented multiple times a day).

Anders and Jorja "playing" with Stella.

Wakefulness.

Snoozing in her carseat.

Cuddling.

Three weeks old.

Iver post-bath.
