A ride in a little car

K loves loves little cars and convertibles... Yesterday A showed up to take K for a ride in her tt... K was thrilled... She got to sit in the front seat.. another huge victory for a girl who wishes she could sit up there now. And they went shopping... K came home with a twirly dress with rhinestones and tons of excitement for her non Mommy girl adventure.

CAN'T SLEEP!

We were in the middle of our feeding last night when K screamed out... CAN'T SLEEP! Couldn't agree more... two minutes later as Baby C continued to fuss K said "Don't forget about me. I can't sleep." Of course T and I rushed into her room independently to chat with her about the fact that Baby C can be a bit noisy, we would do our best and we were sorry we had bothered her. I was in tears laughing so hard about the can't sleep comments as we are back in diapers, nursing and middle of the night wake ups. However we are just thrilled. I am finding the sleep deprivation much easier to handle. Baby C is an incredibly easy baby (just jinxed myself...) and we are doing fantastic as we have a great eater and a great sleeper. She is only waking up once a night and having her in our room has made me feel much less tired. Her doctor's appointment yesterday shows she has already gained an inch since last week. We are still working on getting her up to her birth weight - not sure how since we are a great nursing team.

We are also incredibly impressed with K as she is in love with her little sis. She comes to check on us any time she hears fussing. She even turned off George and came up yesterday to see what was going on - a major tribute since tv is pretty limited and George is one of her favorite things to watch. She is bummed when she misses a poop and asks about the poops she missed during the day. We are so proud of her and have promised her a dinner out as soon as I am a bit more mobile.

It is great to have the confidence of having one baby behind us. We are much more mellow about everything. Knowing this is my last baby I am really enjoying all the cuddles and snuggling you get with such a tiny little one. T as always is being incredibly supportive and helpful with my recovery (which is much slower than I would have liked) and doing a gret job taking care of Baby C and keeping K in her routine. My mom has been fantastic with all sorts of food, coverage and just great support. And our friends are just great... so many friends have brought us great meals, coffees (critical to my happiness) and offers of help. We feel really lucky.
