Miscellany Monday


{one} I really wish I had more time to blog these days, since these first few precious weeks are ones I really want to remember.  But I haven't been able to shower every day let alone blog!

{two} Little M has been adjusting even better than I hoped and really seems to love her little sister.  She wants to hold her, kiss her, and tickle her feet all the time!

{three} Baby C is a night owl like her mom.  As soon as Little M goes to bed, C thinks it's playtime.  The earliest we have been able to get her down is 12:30 am.  There is a ridiculous lack of sleep going on around here.

{four} We are so lucky and fortunate that Skip is on family leave until July 26th.  I have no idea how I'm going to do this once he leaves!

{five} I have not lost nearly as much weight as I thought I would by this point.  Maybe it's because I can't put down the brownies!

{six} Recovery the second time is going much faster than with Little M.  However I do often forget that my body did go through a huge trauma only a week and a half ago, and I really need to rest more

{seven} I'M NOT NAUSEOUS ANYMORE!!!  I woke up the day after Baby C was born and had never felt more amazing.  The world is so much of a better place when you don't want to throw up 24/7 for 9 months straight!!

{eight} My doctor said the next course of treatment for another pregnancy would be a Zofran pump...essentially an IV jambed into my thigh that would deliver a continuous flow of liquid Zofran.  Ummm, yeah no thanks.  I'm good with two babies.

{nine} Remember this post I wrote last year about how many babies to have and how far to space them out?  A lot of you said that when you hold your last baby in your arms, you will just know that you are done having children.  Well I now know how true that is.  Baby C will be our last baby as our family feels so wonderfully complete to me.

{ten} We took Baby C to her one week check up the other day.  She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 5 oz.  I love my little chunker!  She also has some reflux problems that has required us to change things around a little bit in terms of sleeping and eating.  Will write a separate post about that soon!

{eleven} Little M said "Thank you very much Doctor" as we left his office the other day.  She comes out with the funniest things these days!!

{twelve} Our hospital does the most amazing newborn pictures now.  Seriously, they look like I got them done in a studio!  I was so happy to be able to use them for the thank you cards and announcements I finally ordered yesterday!

I can't tell you about them being amazing without a little sneak peek, right?  So I'll end this post with a couple of pictures.  Hopefully will be posting her birth story soon!!
