Second week of March 2015

Back to "normal" life! Here's what we were up to the second week in March...

Painting at Aunt Brittany's

The kids at Maxwell's school were so excited to see him when I took him to school for the first time after the cruise.  That made me really happy.  They were all like "yeah! Maxwell's back!"

So big

Lil Miss Climber

I took Maxwell's favorite "stuffed animal" - a puppet -  with me to work and took a picture so that he could see that I had him with me

For work, I took my team to a Dallas Maverick's game in the CROSSMARK Suite.  They had a fun time...  I just missed being home with my family and putting my kids to bed.

The night after the Maverick's game, I went to my dear friend Tida's grand opening of her retail shop.  There were so many delicious sweets!

Look at the gorgeous set up and sweets everywhere!

So excited for her to have opened her own shop!!!

That night was the second night I had missed putting Maxwell to bed and he asked Peter to leave the light on in his closet so I could give him a goodnight kiss when I got home and turn it off.  I love that sweet boy.

Emmalyn was not feeling well and I could tell she was sick so I took her to the pediatrician.  While it seemed she might just have a cold, I wanted to be sure since we had just been out of the country.

Cheese

There we go, closer to a real smile.
Maxwell was well behaved at the pediatrician with me.

Emmalyn is sick with a fever that got up to 101.9.  She weighed 15 lb 11.5 oz at the doctor.  They said that she probably has a virus and didn't give me anything for her.

I've given her more medicine (tylenol) than ever.  She's just so sick.  She can't sleep which means we can't sleep.  So sad in her eyes.  Coughs and whimpers.  Awful..

Sad sick eyes


She still looks sick but at least she's smiling

(I love the story the next few pictures show...)
Talking to each other...

Max reaches out to touch Emmalyn...

She's happy...

She now reaches out to touch him...

And he holds her hand...

I love watching when they love each other!

She's just so sick and sad!!!  I hate that she feels so awful.  :(

Emmalyn says ma ma!  She's now 11 months old.  Only one more month and she's a year old!  Holy crap.

Pumping is stressful.  I am pumping 4 times a day to get a total of 4.5 - 5 oz but I'm still hanging in there.  It's so frustrating to only get that but it's still enough that I am not ready to stop or give up.  It means too much to me.  MUST KEEP GOING.  (I'm doing so much to try and increase/hang onto the production I've got - - - mother's milk tea, lactation cookies, fenugreek pills, lots of water...)

She's really chatty now and standing on her own, often for 5 seconds.
She loves music and claps to it.
She's a cuddler.
She sleeps now on a pillow in her crib.
I turned around and all of a sudden she was 6 stairs up the staircase.  Time to put the baby gate up!
