2 month well baby

Elise is now 9 weeks old. I go back to work in a week. I cannot believe how fast time has went. I hate to think of someone else holding her and taking care of her all day. She is such a calm and good baby. She hardly ever makes a peep unless she is tired or hungry. She loves to smile all the time. It just melts your heart.

At Elise's 2 month check up, everything went very well. She is now 13 lbs (96%) and 23 inches (86%). She got her shots which went ok :( Now she does not go back until she is 4 months.

Ethan is now in his 3rd week in our new daycare. She does so many fun things with the kids. He is so tired at night, he goes to be so quickly. He does have some separation anxiety lately. Hopefully that will get better when we get back into a routine when I go back to work. He has gotten so much personality and his facial expressions are priceless. He is such a great little guy.

We went to my dad and Julie's new cabin for a few days and he was Papa Judd's little shadow. He loves following him around and asking him a million times what he was doing and watching him fix things. Ethan also got to go on the pontoon and jet ski.

Elise is already one moth old today!

She is doing really well. She is up to 11 lbs 5 oz. she is a good eater! She is still only sleeping 3 hours at a time, hopefully that starts extending soon. She likes to sleep alot during the day, so I really need to start waking her up more so that hopefully she will be more tired at night.

I can't believe how fast time has flown by! I am going to take the kids to work on Monday for a little visit.
Ethan just got back from spending a few days on the farm. He loved it, he got to ride the tractor and 6 wheeler, go swimming,and got to see the horses and barn cats.

I have not been blogging much, and this one is not that long, but at least it's something. Hopefully I will get back into the habit of blogging more.

Elise made her way into the world 2 days over due on June 16, 2011 at 8:09 pm.
She weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and was 21 1/2 inches.

Everything went very well. The total labor time was 3 hours, with only less than 5 minutes of pushing.
Grandma Fran brought Ethan up after things had quieted down. He was interested in her for a few minutes and then it was on to more interesting things. So many buttons to push and things to get into in the hospital room.

We had many visitors at the hospital and then pretty much every night for a week after we were home.

Elise has been gaining weight and is doing very well. She sleeps pretty much ALL day long. And then is up roughly every 2-2 1/2 hours to nurse. Sometimes we get lucky and she will sleep for 3 hours.

I am enjoying my time off with her. The weather is starting to get so nice out. We will have to start going on some walks!

Dr appt

At the OB appt last week things are looking great. I am 80% effaced and dilated to 2 cm. Nothing else to report. I have another appt on Wed.
He said things are looking promising and that I would probably go early like I did with Ethan. But who knows........ We are all set and ready, so anytime would be nice. Then I can get back to sleeping on my stomach and being comfortable :)

Nathan and I finally got around to putting together the swing/play set in the back yard. It only took 9 hours :) Next we just have to assemble the sand box and then put down some rock and we should be done.
