things are going rather well

i have been meaning to blog but havent had the chance (=

things are going rather well... considering (=

dahlia is adjusting great! the first few days she cried a lot, but since then she seems to like him and wants to help. she loves to sit on the couch with me while i feed him and tries to smooch him or hit him. but she thinks she is being nice. when he cries she is concerned... it is very cute! he likes to sleep a lot! during the day he sleeps really well but then about 9 or so he gets gassy i think. screams for about an hour usually. we are going to try some different things starting tomorrow. over the counter remedies. we are just so thankful he doesnt wail all night long! he sleeps a little too well at night! i cant seem to wake him up! which isnt good for my milk supply, he seems to be gaining weight fine, but i just suffer (= so justin and i have pumped the past few night in the middle of the night... not fun! things really could be worse so i am not complaining, believe me we went through a lot of craziness with dahlia so valen is really an angel!!! we are going to the doctor tomorrow so we shall see how much he has gained. justin and i measured him the other day and he already grew an inch!!! crazy!

our house is in shambles and showers are rare, but other than that things are great!

we went to church on sunday. i didnt have time to fix my hair at all... i had the worst bed head, but everyone still was commenting on how well i looked. it was so nappy... seriously i would never have gone out of the house looking like that in the past, but after just having a baby, i just dont care.

well valen is psychoing i better go relieve justin!

So good to hear an update, I love checking in on your growing family! I'm glad things are going well and Valen is such a good baby for you. I remember the first two weeks with Lilly, man my you know what felt like rocks and were so painful. I really would have tried anything. So if you still need some tips...I know a few : ) Thanks for the update! It took me about 4 weeks til I found a good groove...and got the hang of having two. Finally figured out a shower plan, back to a regular lunch schedule with Ethan, etc. You are doing great Momma, keep up the good work! Love, Misty
