Hi!
Things are good- man this is a lot harder with two! Breastfeeding is going well on the milk supply end of things, but one side is a little more sore than the other side- same side same thing last time. Charlie was 7 pounds 2 ounces so three ounces less than Jack. He was 18.5 inches- same as Jack exactly.
Last night I got four hours of sleep over an 8 hour period- so today I am feeling a little rough. But yesterday was great. I have to go back to work on March 13th and instead of dreading it yet- I'm just not thinking about it at all. Going to try and skip the pre-worry and enjoy my time home and then allow sadness when it happens.
I am reading a book called Happiest Toddler on the block. (We read happiest baby on the block by same author) Jack is really good and so is Charlie but toddlerhood has definitely set in. I just took a walk to the pond in our complex where there are ducks. I have Charlie wrapped in the Moby wrap on my chest and Jack decides to refuse to hold my hand near the street. So, in the midst of communicating- he throws himself down on the ground into wet grass with fresh dog poop in it. He got some on his jacket but missed a huge pile on his head by an inch.
I have been watching news about Egypt too much because my brother Jeff has a plane ticket to go there in two weeks and I am sure he's not going but still makes me sad for what is going on there.
In light of Egypt, and my 4 hours sleep last night- I looked at Jack laying there in the wet poop grass- and laughed. He laughed too and got up and we walked home without incident.
What a life to choose! It is wonderful! I hope that you get to do it again as well. But it is certainly tiring- someone I know recently told me when it comes to having a second baby- 1+1=10 instead of 2. It has proven true so far.
I'd love to hear how you are doing as well- I am headed to pump milk and watch Yo Gabba Gabba!
Love you guys!
Jen
