Yay for new babies! Our friends, the McGinnis's, had their baby girl and we got to go visit them in the hospital. Peyton McGinnis is gorgeous and wonderful, and we are so excited to be watching her and Jovie grow up so close together!
I knew that when we went to see her, we would notice how much Jovie has grown in seven weeks. Still, I wasn't prepared for the stark contrast. I didn't realize how much I had forgotten how different Jovie was seven weeks ago. Yes, Jovie was about a pound bigger than Peyton when she was born, but still! When holding Peyton, I was reminded of how fragile she was. When Peyton cried a little, I forgot how thin and quiet Jovie's cries used to be. And watching Jovie react and take everything in while we were in the hospital visiting Peyton reminded me of how much she is developing. (Not to mention being in the same hospital brought back memories of our own experience seven weeks ago).
Has it really been seven weeks? It feels so long ago and like it was just yesterday all at the same time. It reminded us to cherish and hang onto every moment. (Although I will say with some shame that it was the first time since Jovie was born that I didn't feel like the most tired Mom in the room, and I knew that there was a Mom that would be getting less sleep than me that night.)
