Grandma to the Rescue

Well, my mom came in this Saturday. We managed a couple days on our own, but were very happy when she got here and had another set of hands. Jace had a busy day. They spent a while at the park (good thing my mom is used to the heat, I am not quite sure about the humidity), and then came home long enough to have lunch and then headed back out to the swimming pool. So he was worn out.

Kylie continues to be a good little baby. We had her one week check up on Friday, and unfortunately she had lost a little bit more weight (4oz). She is eating well and has plenty of wet diapers, so me and the doctor were not too worried, but we have to head back on Thursday and make sure she does not lose any more. I have been trying to limit how much I am supplementing with formula, but she does cluster feed right before bed time so I am not making enough at those feedings, and if she continues to lose weight we might have to supplement more, which makes me sad but we will do what we need to do. She was 25% on weight and height- they also show she shrunk some since she was born from 21.25" to 19.75"- just goes to show you how accurate this is.

I am slowly weening myself off the pain medicine and so far I am doing pretty well. With my mom here I am excited to have time to cook healthy meals again- anyone who knows me knows I love to cook. I had gotten out of the routine, but with Steve and I vowing to lose some weight, I am taking advantage of this time to get back in the swing. Cooking Light had a lot of recipes I am looking forward to trying! It is the little things that make me happy.
