My biggest regret at this point is that I haven’t taken nearly enough pictures! I got some from my mom, but I should have my camera attached to me… Mac is still doing really well. He is interacting more with Vivian when she’s on the floor or in her bouncy seat. He likes to cover [...]

Vivian had her 2-week check-up yesterday. She had a glowing report! She’s weighing in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces (75th percentile). Her height is still 21 inches (90th percentile) and head is still 14.5 inches around (75th percentile). The doctor was very impressed with her strength and head control, and he was surprised to hear [...]

I finally made up my mind on a middle name for Vivian. It took a while because of all the opinions I’ve been getting and my lack of decision-making abilities lately (maybe a bit due to lack of sleep?!)… I asked Jeremy to help me decide, but it turns out what I really needed was [...]

Vivian slept through the night for the first time on Sunday night. Unfortunately, Mac woke up crying at 2:00 a.m.! Last night, she woke only once to eat at 4:30, but again Mac woke up early – at 6:30. Well, eventually we’ll get things worked out. I noticed yesterday that Vivian was able to track [...]

Today we all (Mom, the kids and I) went on an outing to get Mac’s hair cut and get some necessities at Target. We walked in to the mall through Kohl’s. Mac saw a shirt, pointed to it, and said, “daddy’s shirt.” It was a Vikings t-shirt with “World’s Best Dad” on it. On the [...]

We’ve had a pretty lazy week. Vivian eats, sleeps a LOT and has some occasional alert time. I’ve managed to get a few things done around the house but have mostly taken it easy. I’ve been fairly well-rested too, thanks to her pretty regular and efficient nighttime schedule. Mac continues to do well with his [...]

Last night’s feeding and bedtime schedule worked out just as I had hoped. After I fed her at 10ish, we went to bed. Vivian slept until about 1:30. She ate well and slept again until 5:30, ate well and slept until 9:30 a.m.! That meant I could sleep in, and I took advantage of that, [...]

Vivian is four days old. Last night wasn’t great as far as sleeping and eating, but it wasn’t too terrible either. Jeremy put together the new double stroller that Roxi bought us, and Mac immediately climbed in – before he was even dressed! Once everyone was ready to go, we took it out for a [...]

We made it through our first night at home pretty well. Vivian woke up to eat about three times total, though the first was before I even had a chance to go to sleep. Jeremy took care of her as long as he could before she needed to eat. Jeremy was off to work early [...]

A much better start today! Vivian ate and slept well overnight, and I slept well too. After her 4:00 feeding, I had Jeremy get up to help me get her ready to take her back to the nursery. I walked her there myself this time to get moving a bit. I knew that if I [...]
