update



Sorry it's been so long! We've been doing well... getting adjusted to life as a threesome. I don't have much time, so I'll just answer the questions that everyone asks :)

I'm feeling good. A little worn out on some days, but overall I'm loving being a mom and being a stay at home mom. I'm still working on getting anything done, but it's getting easier.

Alexis is doing great. She's sleeping really well. She sleeps in our bed with us, because when she does she'll sleep for 5-6 hours. It's great!

We've started using the cloth diapers, and I actually like them. It's more laundry, obviously... I wash them every other day. But I think they're nicer to Alexis's booty and I don't feel as wasteful when she pees WHILE I'm changing her :)

Her jaundice is gone, our last trip to the doctor went well and they said we didn't have to go back until our 2 month appointment, which is at the beginning of October.

Alexis is growing up SO fast! She's working on holding her head up herself... now she can do it for a few seconds before she makes a face plant onto the floor, couch, or my chest. She also squirms around ALL the time (when she's awake)... she wants to crawl so bad, she's working on it! :)

Oh, and the last thing... all the animals are adjusting to having a little one around. The dogs definitely get jealous that they have to share our attention, but they both enjoy licking Alexis's face if they can sneak a kiss or two while we're not paying attention. The older two cats ignore her for the most part... Butters (our new kitten) thinks she's a moving toy for him to play with. Any time she moves any of her limbs, he tries to play with them... which we have to keep an eye on because he still has his claws and could scratch her!
