Siblings

My cute little ones. Hayden loves his "Mia" right now. He showers her with kisses. She loves him too. If he talks she turns her head to him. She doesn't really do that with anyone else. Hayden loves to lay next to her and say Hi Mia over and over.

Week 3

Amelia is giving the finger to you! (J/K)

We enjoyed the nice weather we had for a few days and played outside. We went to Renee's all week since my pain was pretty bad. The boy Renee watches likes Amelia. Hayden tired himself out and dirtied himself up as you can see in these pics.

Amelia got to meet great grandma.

Amelia is getting bigger, newborn pj's are getting too small. She holds her head up really good. She is making cute noises at us (esp Hayden).

Hayden is into Amelia this week. He gives her kisses all of the time. He gets sad when she is asleep and will go in to get her and say "baby done". He is sad when she throws up.

Thankful

Since I have been in so much pain i realize that I am very thankful to have a content baby that enjoys to sleep. I am also thankful to have family nearby to help. My mom has watched Hayden while i go to dr appts. And my sister lets me come over every day so Hayden can play and I can spend most of my time laying flat on my back icing it. She also watches him while I go to the chiropractor. So far I am still in a lot of pain...which I am NOT thankful for!

3 weeks

I am using this blog to keep journaling for Amelia's scrapbook since I am sure I won't have time to work on in the near future. I don't want her to see Hayden's book one day and be sad that her book isn't as good.

Amelia...
Had her first bath. She enjoyed it.
Wakes up 2-3x a night but goes back to sleep
Slept over 6 hours the other night!
starting to smile
throws up much more then hayden did
likes her changing table just like hayden did. Its weird.
Took a bottle from me

Hayden...
took a nap on Monday at the SAME time as Amelia. He rarely naps. It was nice.
I have been teaching him songs since I am home with him. It is cute to hear him sing twinkle twinkle.
Calls Amelia "that baby" a lot. If she burps he will say "that baby burped" or what is that baby doing
Calling me Mama?
Spending some time in time out
Loves catching stink bugs (buggies) and throwing them outside
likes to swing Amelia too hard in her swing

As for me... I have sciatica and piriformis syndrome. It is awful. I can't sit at all. I have pain in my butt area and all the way down my leg. My foot is numb. I can't sleep. Amelia slept 6 hours and I couldn't even enjoy it.

We had a scary moment with Amelia last week. She threw up some blood. We had to take her to the ER. They never did really decide why she threw up blood, but she hasn't done it since. Thankfully.

Overall things are going well.
