i am feeling so much better! i am in week 12 now and this is when the sickness started to decrease last time. i am so excited! i actually cleaned the kitchen the other day and did some laundry(= i also feel like eating now which is really good. im trying to pack on the calories, but it just isnt that easy.... i have cut back breastfeeding in half so far, and hope to be done within the next two weeks. it has been such a smooth transition for dahlia and that has been a blessing! she loves the bottle!
she just started crawling this week too, just in time for me to feel like chasing her around. a week ago that would have been so hard, but now it isnt so bad. she is just so curious.. she has to check out everything! last night about 5 am i thought i heard some rattling in her room,( i always think i hear things) but after about 15 minutes i went to check on dahlia, she was up on her knees holding onto the crib railing... it was so cute! she never wakes up like that early especially without making lots of noise. she was wide awake.... i guess life is more exciting now that she can get around better, so there is no time to waste (= i dont think she will be walking for a while though.... her feet are so tiny i dont know how she could possibly hold herself up! i can still put her in newborn shoes! she is so petite! i love it!
i hung out with some of my girlfriends today with their little babies and my friend melody has a two month old. so precious! so tiny! the funny thing was that he was 14 lbs and dahlia is about 17, but of course he was way smaller since he is so new. it was so fun to hold a new baby again, i really had forgotten what it was like. i cant believe dahlia was ever that small... even smaller! i am so looking forward to this new baby coming... i hope dahlia will love it too! my friend melody also has a 17month old... which is about what dahlia will be when we have a new baby.... she said it is actually easier having both of them than it was with just the first..... i am hoping i feel that way too! but either way i am not worried about it at all. the first time around i was a totally new mother, this time i have a little more experience!
