With three weeks under our belts things do seem to be smoothing out a bit. Thanks for the words of encouragement from everyone. Each day it gets a little easier.
I survived my first day as a stay-at-home-mom on Friday. We enjoyed a nice relaxing morning at home, then our good friends, Tanya and Jada, came and picked us up and brought us to the Seattle Center for free ice skating. It may have been a little too much for Marley (especially since we skipped nap time to do it), but at least it got us out of the house.
Amelia has been sleeping more at night, and being awake more during the day. I've even been able to skip my daily nap a few times! Breastfeeding is going better, too. Not great, but better. Tomorrow we have an appointment with the Doctor who will determine wheter or not a frenectomy would help matters.
Some recent lowlights:
*Walking to our favorite pizza place, only to find that it was closed for the holiday weekend.
*Wrestling with Amelia and the nipple shield, especially in public.
*Marley's breakdown on Saturday. He wanted Mommy, and Mommy was busy feeding Amelia. It was a bad one.
*Potty training regression. Big time!
Some recent highlights include:
*Hearing Marley try to soothe Amelia when she's crying. So sweet!
*Enjoying a glass of wine with Jeff.
*Getting Amelia to latch on multiple feedings in a row.
*Reading with Marley - he's interested in longer, more complex story books lately.
*Rocking a sleeping baby. Ahh...nothing like it!

Glad the highlights outnumber the lowlights.... at least in print!!! So many things to enjoy, and more and more every day. By the way, after tonight's REA meeting, I now have a "present" for you,too, not just Marley and Amelia. Sorry Jeff.
awwh ... keep up the good work.
