Hi Everyone,
Well just an update on our lit'l family since it's been 2 weeks since Keegan was born...already!! All has been going well for us thankfully and Mr. Keegan is a really good baby so far. :) He sleeps a lot during the day but of course is up every 2-3 hours in the morning. I'm getting used to being sleep deprived though so it's not too bad. We had a rough first two nights home but after that it got a bit easier...just a bit. He's not been nursing as well as he did in the beginning as of last Friday, but my doc said he's gaining weight so that's good news. Keegan just lovessss to fall asleep on me while nursing but usually once I change him, he's up a bit and able to take the other side. He had his 2 week checkup yesterday (thurs) and here are his stats:
Weight= 7 lbs 8 oz (birth weight)
Length= 20 1/4 in (I laughed when the nurse told us this b/c he was 20 1/2 in at birth...guess the hospital's measurements aren't that accurate)
Head=
Anywho, he's a great baby and we just love him so much! His big sister Mia also loves having him around too. She likes to help me change his diaper and get wipes for me. She also likes to help me burp him which is too cute. :) I see no signs of jealously with her thank god!
As for me, I'm healing up well although still a bit sore. I'm off of the pain meds as of Monday and getting around a lot easier as of last Friday. I still can't pick Mia up for another 4-5 weeks (docs orders) and can't drive until next Friday (3 week mark). Josh has been great through all this and does all the "Mia lifting" for me. :) He puts her in her highchair, gives her baths and puts her in her crib...what a nice hubby I have!! He has no choice though! haha!!! My docs appt is in 4 weeks when I should be given the OK for everything from holding Mia to going to the gym (which I can't wait to do! I'm out of shape! haha!). Other than that, I'm a bit sleep deprived but getting used to it. My mom-in-law is there this week so I'm able to go back to sleep at 8ish when Keegan goes back down...it's nice! I better take advantage of it b/c next week is when reality sets in....just me, Mia and Keegan (and Daddy upstairs working if I need him). I'm sure I'll be fine though it's going to be hard at first. In time though, I'll be a pro at this 2 kid thing. :)
Update on Miss Mia....
We had a rough week last week with Mia due to her getting 4 teeth in and having a hand, foot and mouth virus called Cox Sackie. We had to keep her away from Keegan until it went away which was just this past Monday. She just wasn't having it last week and was cranky as ever! I've never seen her the way she was and I just wished I could go through the pain for her. She would literally wake up screaming, crying, fussing, very antsy, you name it, she did it! I thought the neighbors were going to call the cops on us b/c she was so loud. She'd calm down after a couple hours but would go back to being cranky off and on during the days. Luckily she slept very well during her naps and at night...phew!! She is all better now and is active as ever!! Her vocabulary as blossomed and it's just unbelievable to hear her speak as well as she does. :) Mia loves to play with her baby dolls and push them around in her stroller. She also loveessss to play with her Dora kitchen, table and chairs...too cute!! She is def one big Dora fan! Let's just hope they don't recall any of the ones she has! Other than that, being a 2 year old so far as treated Mia well (except for last week...I don't ever want to go through that again!! It was very very hard!). I really do love this age and I'm sure will grow to love every up and coming age too. She is def one good little girl. :)
