Just thought I'd post a little update on how things are going.....
Much, much better since the last post--Lydia is having more wet and poopy diapers because she's getting more milk (thank goodness it's finally "here"). We are feeding more often and she is doing such a good job! I am so proud of her :) As of yesterday, she had not lost any more weight so now we're just going to work on gaining some. She sleeps between each of the night feedings, which is absolutely wonderful for Chris and I to be able to get in little naps that almost equal 6 hours total of sleep.
Addie is still adjusting and has started to test us to see what she can get away with. Please pray for her and for us to know the right way to handle these little episodes. Overall, we feel she is doing quite a great job of being a big sister. She still LOVES Lydia Mae and comments on how cute she is at least 3 times daily. When Lydia cries, Addie says, "Lydia, what's the matter?" I just can't wait for the day they can actually play together.
I had my first little "test" of life at home without Chris today when he went to vote. Thankfully, he wasn't gone long, but I must say things went very smoothly while he was gone. He left at a time when Lydia was sleeping (not a feeding time) and Sesame Street was on so the only responsibility I had was letting Joe (our furry son) out to potty. I survived!
