Our girl is growing! Today we took Maggie and Cece to the pediatrician (Maggie's two month visit and Cece's 18 month). I'm happy to report that Maggie is now 6 pounds 6 ounces!!! Maggie's due date was Monday, so she's now 5 days corrected age (9 weeks already). The doctor's visit was quite a production, with the snow falling today our travel time was insane, plus both girls had to get shots. Lots of tears. Not fun.
Cece was very sad to see her sister get shots and get blood drawn. Maggie's hemoglobin needed to be checked because she was born so early she didn't get all of her iron stores from me.
We have a nurse coming tomorrow for Maggie's Synagis shot (RSV immunity booster). That was quite an ordeal to get scheduled. I don't know how many people and companies and clinics I needed to talk to this week. I'm finally seeing the inefficiencies of our healthcare system.
On the home front, Maggie moved up to her beautiful new room before Thanksgiving and is sleeping so well in her crib. Her room is much warmer than the rest of our drafty old house, so I think it's helping her grow! We moved some of Cece's toys up there, too, so she has some fun things to play with if we're nursing, or changing diapers, etc.
I have lots of new pictures of our cutie pie, which I'll have to add when I get a free moment. We're still trying to figure out how to coordinate the demands of a newborn and 18 month old. Thankfully, Cece is getting better at keeping herself entertained and is sleeping through the night again. The first week with Maggie, Cece would wake up in the middle of the night, so were dealing with two kids in the wee hours.
We are looking forward to getting ready for the holidays and hope to spend time with family and friends.
