So Haley is struggling to gain weight since being home. She has not lost weight but only gained 2 oz since being home. Hopefully, when the nurse comes tomorrow, we'll see that Haley has gained at least 2 oz (she was last weighed 2 days ago and 2 oz in 3 days would be GREAT). But Haley is certainly eating and that is not the problem. So last weighed, Haley was 5 lbs 9 oz. Tiny uh?
Evan has had a lot of adjusting to
do since April 5. First mommy was away. His sister was in the hospital. And things started to change at home. Evan moved out of his crib and into a toddler bed. His room went from a baby boy's room to a little boy's room. He then had to adjust to having his little sister at home. And b/c I'm recovering from my c-section, Dan has been doing EVERYTHING (cooking, cleaning, yard work, shopping, Evan's bath and bedtimes, etc etc etc). And I think Evan has gotten used to Daddy and Evan -- Mommy and Haley. But the question everyone asks... and perhaps you are asking yourself this too.... "how does Evan like his sister?"
He has his moments but he is two years old after all :) Does he throw tantrums... yes... but not everyday and never over his sister. Evan has taken his role of Big Brother seriously. In fact, he was very happy to get a shirt (actually he has 2 now) that states "big brother". And he likes to wear it all the time :)
Yesterday was a first. We wanted to let Evan know that not everything is about Haley. So my dad babysat Haley (a first) while Dan and I took Evan to the Mystic Aquarium. And fun was had by all.
OH no... Haley is calling... LOUDLY :) But I'll try to keep this updated... at least with photos :)
