Wow. I had no idea it had been that long since I posted. Time has gotten away from me once again.
So, where to start. We had well-baby visits for both Johnny and Joley on 4/22/09. Johnny was in the 30-ish% for height and 70-ish% for height. Like I have said, he is short and stocky. His eye is clearing up and he is doing great. Joley weighed in at a whopping 11lbs 5oz and was 22 3/4 inches long. According to their chart (I know it is different for BF babies) she is in the 5% for length and 6% for weight. The doc is very happy with her growth despite her being so small and said she is just going to be petite and is perfectly proportionate. 🙂
Miss Joley is all over the place. She gets up on her feet and pushes her body across the floor. That makes for fun co-sleeping, let me tell you! It seems she can roll faster than I can get to her now so there is no putting her on her back/belly and expecting her to stay. Oh, and diaper changes are becoming a challenge. I truly love breastfeeding now. I love how Joley smiles at me while I talk to her, I love her coos when she eats and sleeps, I love how she makes noises when my milk lets down (sounds like YEP!) and I love how she holds my fingers when she is nursing. It is finally easy most of the time and I really do enjoy it. I am glad I didn’t give up when we had so many problems early-on.
Things got ugly here and we are trying to work through it. I left town for 3 days and came home with a sense of hope. We’ll see where that takes us I guess.
I still need to post pics of Joley’s baptism, huh? I will do that! Be on the lookout. 🙂
Horror of horrors, the ex moved close to us. She is like 10 minutes away now. Isn’t that just grand? I am hoping that I won’t run into her when we are at walmart or anything. Gosh, I really do despise her so that will suck. She wants to see the kids one day a week now but I am not sure how that is going to work out because she wants it on her time. blah blah blah Must be nice to take the kids when it is convenient. *rolls eyes*
I go next Friday to sign up for classes. I did get approved for financial aid so all is good on that front. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am just hoping I will have or be able to make the time to do the work.
Ok, I am uploading the pics from the baptism. Those will be in another post soon. 🙂
