Tomorrow Hannah is 6 weeks old already - crazy!! I can't believe how quickly it's gone by. Don't get me wrong, there are moments that seem to last forever....man that girl has some lungs. I should remember that we are lucky in that the crying lasts 20-30 minutes and is "easily" solved with a walk around the block or some rocking & loud shhhhhh'ing. We could have it much worse. I think the hardest part for me are the moments in the car when I can't get to her and she just screams. Usually it's 10 minutes and she cries herself to sleep, but it's a long 10 minutes of screeching.
We visited the doctor this morning as she's got a bit of a dry cough. Her lungs, nose and ears looked & sounded clear so we just get to wait it out. We were given some saline drops to use in her nose and we'll see if those help.
Last night she slept the longest. Mike got her to sleep and then we put her in her swing around 8:30 and she stayed there until almost 3 am. YEEE - HA! Mike slept downstairs on the couch next to her and plans to do the same thing tonight.
Also, still breastfeeding and that seems to be going okay. Again, nights are mostly easy; it's during the day when she goes on every 1-2 hours that it gets challenging. At least I'm awake (or the sun is out to fool me that I'm awake.)
Will is doing great. Funny and cute as can be. One of my favorite things thus far happened last night on one of our walking trips to Zagara's. We were sitting together on our bench waiting for Mike and Hannah to get through the checkout, when all of a sudden he takes his t-shirt and pulls the back of the collar up over his head, which covers the back of his head and automatically pulls his arms up a bit and shows off his belly. He start walking around all silly. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. It was HILARIOUS. As I keep saying, I pray he doesn't lose that sense of spirit. He's amazing.
School is good. He comes home every night dirty as can be from playing outside - dirty includes about 2 lbs of sand in each shoe. He's pretty picky too - if he comes home and takes his shoes off, but then wants to go back outside, it's hard going to put the shoes back in as he keeps saying/whining "sand in my shoe". Doesn't matter how much we clean the shoes out, he still says sand in my shoe. (no problem putting them back on in the morning though....I can't make sense of it???)
And he's now calling his sister "Hannah Banana Lizard".....Elizabeth has turned into Lizard. As with most things he does, it's precious.
Mike and I are good. We went to the dermatologist together last week for a mole check. Mike checked out fine - I had the pleasure of having an eraser sized mole removed from the middle of my lower back. With the removal pleasure, came multiple sutures. Again - pleasure! I'm such a bad patient. I get to go back in 10 days to have them removed. Yeh. Dr says results were abnormal, but he removed all of it so no need to do anything more at the site and I should get yearly exams.
Yeh - one more "yearly' exam to enjoy.
