Hadley and Avery are making being a mother of two pretty easy. Hadley wakes 1 to 2 times a night, sleeping in 4 hr intervals throughout the night. And Avery has been fairly content with movies and playing alone, though we find our own time together throughout the day while Hadley naps. They are even letting me sleep in past 8:00 am - a huge feat for Avery!
Our first week consisted of lots of things!
For Avery, we did a few projects, learned to spell CAT, worked on our other letters and had a few outings with family (she went to breakfast with my dad and swimming one afternoon with Aunt Donea).
For Hadley, we had several visitors, she had her 1 week check up with her doctor (last Monday, and she was 2 oz shy of being back to her birth weight - yea!), we had our first outing to Target, and we went to church and my parents house for the first time.
This week, we'll be heading over to St. Louis for my doctor appointment and to pick up both girls' birth certificates (the annoying part of being born in Missouri), and probably do some more projects and welcome some more visitors.
All in all, the week went way smoother than I imagined it would. Although Hadley eats ever 2-3 hours during the day, she doesn't quite have a schedule and I thought that would end up being an issue with Avery and lunch and nap time, but it really hasn't. We're adapting well to what Hadley's needs are - even Big Sis, who has been absolutely great with her little sister (except when I was starting this blog entry, I looked over and she had her finger in Hadley's mouth - we're still working on what's acceptable vs. what's not).
I hope this week turns out similarly. I'm loving staying home with the girls and spending time with them, but the first two weeks of maternity leave just flew by. I hope the next 10 weeks do NOT!
