not sure, will go back to the doctor next week to get weighed. she definitely looks bigger than when she was born though so i think thats a good sign (highly technical here)
are you calling me fat?
health
nothing new, still good. henry has had a cold but has been great about keeping his hands clean, covering his mouth when he coughs (except when hes laying next to me and enjoys coughing directly into my mouth. thanks kid!) ty and i both felt like we were coming down with something last week but that seemed to pass, and luckily eleanor seems to be doing ok without any sniffles. she sneezes randomlyhere and there (multiple times at once like her brother and daddy) but that doesnt seem to be associated with any sort of cold or anything.
sleep
she is starting to be more awake for longer periods during the day and is sleeping well at night. i wake her up to feed after 3.5 hours (longest stretch so far).
clothes
the newborn specific clothes we have are starting to get a bit snug, 0-3 onesies and pants still fit slightly big but better than last week, and 0-3 sweatshirts or long sleeves are huge but were wearing them because its been cold.
my head is getting bigger and my bows are starting to fit. almost.
basically the same... E, Elle, Ellie, Smelly, Muffin
outings
two trips to the dentist (one for henry one for me), out to lunch, henrys ortho appt, target (duh), hannaford... as much as i love home days where we dont go anywhere, she is a great traveler and doesnt seem to mind being out and about as long as i feed her when she wakes up
baby gear love
im continuing to try to get her to sleep in the bassinet... if she falls asleep on me after eating and i put her in it, she will sleep for about a half hour before realizing she is in it and remembers she hates it and starts screaming. if i put her in it when she is awake she just moves around and stays awake. im not giving up yet, i will (maybe) win this battle at some point! so needless to say our biggest baby gear love is still the rock n' play.
swaddling- not even trying anymore. side lying- she lays on her side when shes laying on someone. shushing- actually working a little better now, especially when coupled with rocking. sucking- still going strong with breastfeeding. swinging- doesnt like the small swing we have yet.
crying
shes had some pretty bad gas which makes her scream bloody murder for about 3 seconds until it passes (im not sure if its something i am eating or just baby gas issues, ive been limiting my dairy again like i had to do with henry). other than that she really just cries when im not quick enough to get her started eating.
milestones
her head is getting stronger and she is enjoying tummy time more. like i said before she is awake more often during the day and very curious. she definitely focuses more on our faces and voices. we may transition to size 1 diapers soon (is that considered a milestone? lets just get her potty trained!)
yay for boobies!
postpartum/motherhood
overall i am really feeling great. i could use more naps but dont feel too tired. i started running very slowly, 1 mile at a time, and doing some light weights and core work. oof, its been a while and that is very apparent. luckily i dont have a marathon to train for any time soon (but i did sign up for a 5k in november)
hows henry doing?
still such an awesome, proud brother. loves reading to eleanor, checking to see how she is doing, and wanting to help however he can. he has been a bit more needy, finding it hard for him to occupy himself but understands when he needs to if we are busy with her. he also got approval to have his cast off, only needs to wear it for recess and gym at school for two more weeks. fingers crossed for no more breaks!
6am bedroom buddies
how are duke and chips?
same old same old. both are a bit needy but thats normal for them. were a busy household now thats for sure.
hows daddy doing?
ty went moose hunting this week, jason got a permit this year (ty can be eligible again next year). they scouted over the weekend and saw quite a few big ones, and jason & brayden shot one within the first hour on monday morning so they are all happy about that (we got about 40lbs of meat out of it! the moose itself weighed close to 600lbs and 6 people split all the meat). ty was pretty psyched about all of that, but says he is glad to be home (and we are too!)
the result of late night breastfeeding. oops.
oh haaaaay
did i make that stink?
cuddling with dad
early morning shenanigans
you want me to go to sleep again?
