Milo is doing great! He sleeps good and is not too fussy. A lot of people told us the second child is always easier and it seems true! Anyhow, we took him to the doctor today and he is almost back up to his birth weight. The doctor said he's doing great and his gasiness is nothing to be concerned about. We just have a gassy little boy.
Lilly tells us she loves him. She is a good little helper. At first, it was hard for her though. She stole his binkies and wouldn't give them back. She also just completely stopped potty training. After a visit from Grandma she was back to her old self. She tells us "Milo will get big too." It seems comforting for her to remember this. She also tells us, "When I was a newborn; When I was born: When I had a binkie.." Perhaps she is trying to remind us that she is every bit as cute as the new baby. It works! We certainly do think she is super cute.
Here he is: our new little prince. He was born on 10-10-10 at 1055. You would think that would have been a popular day in L&D but things were relatively quiet and we were the only scheduled c section that morning. Milo Enoch came on schedule and weighed a total of 7lb 3oz. He measured 20.75 inches. He looks similar to our newborn Lilly but has very light skin and almost no hair. He actually looks a lot like his father to me.
Anyhow, Steve and Lilly were my loyal visitors. They rolled in each day bringing mommy and the baby special treats like cookies and binkies. They looked a little like vagabonds and I could tell each passing day without mommy got a littler harder on them. Lilly's hair was dishevelled and her clothes were stained and a little mismatched. It was cute though. Steve was awesome through everything and did a great job taking care of his family.
Steve & I have been married for 4 great years and we just had our first child in February. I have worked in oncology since I graduated from my RN program in 2003. My profession has been good to me despite the many challenges.
In an attempt to follow my true passion, I am starting a master gardener program in September!! I have no idea where this will take me, but, am excited to find out!
