Weekend Updates!

Kieran went 4.5 hours between feedings two nights ago! That felt wonderful, but he's struggled a bit more the last two nights.  It's just a season and he'll eventually sleep through the night.  For now, I don't want to wish any stage away:)

Dan made his goal weight!  He has now lost a total of 20 lbs!  He now has a new goal though and new pants!  Way to go! He is also back to work and is quite busy since he's been gone for three weeks. I hate to steal his thunder, but I'm down 20 lbs too.  Only ten more to go!  Maybe this is a good friendly competition for us both!

I had my first moment with Svea where she demanded I pick her up while I was holding Kieran.  And so it begins...overall she's been really good too though.  My Mom is still here so Dan and I are like chopped liver and all she wants is her Gaga. It has been REALLY helpful to have her here to help while Dan went back to work.  Thank you Mom, I couldn't do this without you. 

I am sweating still so much at night that I could fill a medium sized pool.  I don't remember this going on so long with Svea, but it might be an indicator that my hormones are still raging to settle down.  I feel it too.  The "baby blues" as they like to call them are lasting longer than with Svea too.  The "I don't know why I'm crying/mad/sad are decreasing, but still there.  It is the "not so fun" part of having a baby. Thank you Mom and Dan for being patient with me.  Again, I couldn't make this transition while dealing with crazy hormones without you both!

Overall we are managing and getting through each day.  I am scared for the day when I am home alone with both.  I know it's just the fear of the unknown and we'll all get the hang of it.  This is just a very busy, but amazing time of our lives.  We seriously say just about everyday how lucky we are to have these two beautiful children!
