3 Months Old

I can't believe Emily is 3 months old already. It has been such a long journey so far and memories of the NICU are already starting to fade. I know we still have a long way to go with this little one, considering her adjusted age is only about 3 weeks!! By 3 months, we were moving Megan out of our room and I stopped breastfeeding/pumping. I don't think I'm ready to do either of those things just yet.

We had a great weekend. Probably the best since Christmas! We went out and about as a family on Sunday. I know it's still RSV season but we just had to get out. James and I always ran our errands together on the weekends. We always spent most of the weekend together doing whatever we needed to do. Having Megan didn't put too much of a crimp in that routine but having a preemie definitely has. We were careful and kept Emily covered and washed Megan's hands about a million times. First, Saturday morning James got up early and made waffles (yum!). On Sunday, we went to Chipotle for lunch (yum-er!) then to Marble Slab (yum-est!) for dessert. After eating way too much we wandered around Toys R Us for about an hour. Megan sure is spoiled. She got an outdoor activity table that holds sand on one side and water on the other. She seemed a little apprehensive of the sand at first but finally started digging in. We didn't do the water yet because it was too cold to play with water outside. I should also tell you that James bought her a car on Friday. It's a little pink powerwheels that has a handle so we can run it and steer it but she'll also be able to drive it herself when she gets older. It's really cute and she absolutely loves it. I have some pics of that but I haven't put them on the computer yet - and I'm not going to at 3:45 am. ;-)

I had a doc appointment on Friday (endocrinologist - just checking thyroid and vitamin D levels) and their scale isn't as friendly as mine at home. I am down 23 pounds from pre-pregnancy!! I think the magic weight loss has finally tapered off. I know they say "9 months on - 9 months off" but I don't think I'll continue to lose weight for another 6 months. Would be nice but somehow I doubt it works that way when you LOSE weight during pregnancy.

So Wednesday is going to be a good day. I think it will be an exhausting day and I hope I survive because tonight hasn't shaped up to be much of a restful one so far! I have my first hair appointment since Christmas then I have dinner with the girls at Cheesecake Factory. I am being reintroduced to society - the land of the living - the land of the walking and talking and not pooping in their pants. whoohoo!
