Vivian is six weeks old. She can now go to daycare - but doesn’t have to go full-time for over four more months!
It is no longer anything out of the ordinary to have both kids by myself. Jeremy has been working steadily this week from about 6:30 until 3 each day. We have settled into [...]

There are definitely similarities between Mac and Vivian, as many have commented. I was curious to see if the pictures matched how I remembered things… what do you think?

I’ve got two more days with both kids on my own under my belt. Wednesday I even took them both out on errands! I’m managing to even get some work done. In addition to what I already knew I would have to work on, we had flooding from a broken toilet into one of our computer [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]
