The Saturday 7
1. I survived my first week home alone with both girls! It really wasn't that big of a deal. I nannied for 18 month old triplets, and when I went back to work after having Lucy I had a 4 year old, 2 year old, and an infant. So my 2.5 year old and newborn were a piece of cake. :-) The girls were good to me, I got some sleep, and we're still having people bring us meals so I didn't even have to worry about cooking! I did have a little bit of anxiety, but it didn't show up most evenings 'til Justin got home, so it wasn't too debilitating.
2. On Sunday, Justin's mom gave Lucy and Lena a bunch of clothes. One of the things for Lucy was a purple poncho/shawl type thing. As soon as she saw it, Lucy put it on and took off running down the hall yelling, "Super heroes to the rescue!" She thinks it's a cape. Haha.
3. We had a WIC appointment yesterday. Lena is 8 lbs, 9 oz. I got scolded that she hasn't reached her birth weight yet, and was offered a dietitian for her. Really? She's exclusively breastfed. There's not really much to her diet! I politely declined.
Also, according to their scale, I'm down 24 lbs. Woot! I was offered a dietitian too because I drink too much pop and don't eat enough vegetables. I told the nurse that my sister is going to school for dietetics and I get enough grief from her. I don't need a dietitian on my case too. Haha.
4. I have to record here that Lena rolled over from belly to back on Monday at 12 days old. She did it 4 times in a row, but I still think it was just luck and the effects of gravity on her big head. Haha.
5. We had a big snowstorm this week. On Thursday, Justin couldn't get up our driveway after work. He snowblowed at 6:00, then again at 10:00 pm. Friday morning, he got up an hour earlier than usual to snowblow one more time before leaving for work. So crazy. I'd say we got a good foot of snow. So thankful Justin takes care of the driveway. I saw a lot of my facebook friends write about shoveling. I couldn't do that if my life depended on it. Haha.
6. I started watching Downton Abbey this week. Pretty much everyone I know is obsessed with it. I like it so far, but I'm honestly surprised by how much people love it. It's not that good. Maybe it will get better. I'm only on like the 5th episode. I have to watch it with the captions on because I'm so bad at deciphering accents. Haha. Lame.
7. In the past two days, Lena has suddenly become a massive puker. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what I've eaten that could have caused it, but I can't think of anything. Just now, she was laying on her playmat when all of the sudden she spewed a huge portion of what she'd just eaten allll over. I cleaned her up, changed her pukey clothes, and sat down on the couch. 5 minutes later she did it again! Ugh. We have a friend whose newborn had pyloric stenosis, so I'm totally paranoid about that. Hopefully it was just something I ate and will clear out of her system soon. (And hopefully I don't keep eating whatever it was and causing more problems!)

My boys were both offered dieticians too because they were so puny :P
ReplyDeleteDo you think Lena could have reflux?
