A week in the life of me






Well, what can I say. 2 kids keeps me busy and out of trouble. I seem to try to do all my errands in the morning so that I can stay home in the afternoon. I try to be out of the house by 9 am, but it seems more like 10 am before I am out the door. Oh well. We are still weekly at the doctors for Jordy's jaundice which is slowly going away and now next week we will be starting on the click in her hip. Hopefully that has healed and she will not have to be double diapered anymore. Matthew still has an infection and hopefully the antibiotics work this time. She gave us different ones to try. I have been going to the chiropractor for the past two weeks 3 times a week. It gets to be a bit much, but my back and shoulders are feeling much better. I thought I was out, but not by that much. Thank goodness for health benefits. The weather hasn't been that great yet. We had one nice week the week Jordy was born and then this week has been sunny but not super hot. It looks like we are not going to get a super hot summer and I am okay with that.

Life with 2 kids




Well, we have had an extremely busy month with our new arrival. I couldn't have asked for a better baby. She sleeps 5 and 4 hours at night most nights, so she is only really up twice. The only peep we hear out of her is when she is hungry or has a burp/fart/poop. She isn't very good at passing the last few. As most of you know we have been at the doctors every week dealing with Matthews infection. Latest results were not in on Friday, so this coming Friday they should be in. Jordyn is still fighting jaundice. She is under the 205 mark and currently standing at 160, but at one month she should be below 25 and well, that is only less than two weeks away. It hasn't been really sunny so she hasn't been exposed to that much sun as she should be. So at least for the next two to three weeks we will be at the doctors and she will be at the BC Biomedical lab for tests. Annoying yes, but hopefully this clears up soon. Then on the 3rd of August we are off to the pediatrician to get her click in the hip looked at. Hopefully he says she is in the clear and I can stop double diapering her. It is a tad annoying, especially at 3 in the morning. I have her all ready to feed only to realize I forgot the second diaper and have to redo everything. Not thinking to clearly at 3 in the morning. Matthew is a bit out of sorts lately dealing with the twos, the infection and I just found out yesterday that he is starting to cut his two year molars which would explain a lot of his crankiness these past few weeks. Ryan is busy with work and everything else that needs to be done. I am of course busy with the kids, but able to keep up, get sleep and still have a clean house. How is it that I find it much easier to deal with the house with 2 kids than with one. I don't understand. I am happy to report that I have lost most of the baby weight and finding my jeans are a little on the large size. Yeah for breast feeding. Now I am just going to have to keep it off. That is the hard part. :)
