She's here!

I cannot believe it's been a week already since Daisy was born. Why does pregnancy go soo slow but the baby days go so god damn fast? I've sat down to write this post approximately 4 times, finding longer then 10 minutes alone doesn't happen often now as most parents would know. So I type this while nursing, multitasking FTW.

Daisy is a tiny little thing, she weighed in at 6 pound 8 and all her clothes are massive on her, she's an awesome feeder so hopefully she starts packing on the pounds so I can dress her up like the doll she is. That's what girls are for I'm told. I can't get over how different the second time is, maybe I'm more relaxed but something awesome is going on here with my cruisey baby, I'm hoping she's always this way. 

Not too much has changed around here except I'm much better at doing things one handed. Seb has taken the new arrival surprisingly well, he calls her sister and asks for her of a morning, he likes to hold her and tell her not to cry but most of the time he pays no attention to her. I know it could all go downhill very fast but I'm keeping my hopes high even when these hormones are trying to bring them down. 

J goes back to work on Friday so ill be doing the solo parent thing. I'm pretty effing scared. I have two awesome kids 90% of the time but that 10% can make things realllyyy tough. Dinners are going to be a challenge but I'm trying to just go with the flow, I've got this. Right?

38 weeks

I'm at the stage where I just want to meet her now, I'm dreaming of who she'll look like and when its going to happen. Will I just be at home? Will I be out? Will J be here? Ahhh the suspense.

We went to Australia zoo on Friday for the first time, Seb had an awesome time, he's at such a good age to do things like that now, only if daddy is present, he plays up on me, he must know I'm slower these days. Kid is smart. We walked for 4 hours and watched a show, it was such a nice family day and a great thing to do before we become a family of 4, no doubt we'll be laying low for a little while adjusting to the new addition. I thought walking for a good part of the day would get this girl going but guess what? Nothing, nada, zilch. Not even any false contractions. Girl is stubborn.

Seb has been awesome this last 5 days or so, sleeping through the night again, communicating better and better, still being mega cheeky but in a funny way not so much a naughty way. We're toilet training and while it can be frustrating he's taken to it like a champ. He hated the potty 2 weeks ago and now he's telling me when he has to go! its really awesome watching him just 'get' things. He's at school today so I'm thinking the toilet training will get easier after today if he's watching the other kids or it could go backwards because he's not home on his potty and he has to wear pants hah.

So that's where we're at right now, nothing exciting just playing the waiting game. regardless, she will be here THIS month.
