Back on Track

Good news from the pediatrician's office! We are back up to 7 lbs even, which is a 5 oz gain over the weekend -- exceeding the doc's expectations. To say the least, we are relieved. Sunday had been a much better day for feeding/eating, so we were hopeful, but little babies are so hard to predict!

So, we are now able to approach feeding like a "normal" baby: not having to wake her night or day to feed her, and we're eliminating the supplemental bottles of breast milk, which means less pumping for Holly :)

Cordelia and Evie are still loving their baby sister in a big way. Cordelia is doing a lot of mommy imitation -- from walking the floor and patting her doll to nursing. It's cute.

Evie is more into trying to give Noel affection: kisses, love "pats" (more like swatting at her face/head), and hugs. Noel is at risk of being loved to death...literally. We're being really vigilant about the girls not being alone together.

Geri left yesterday to head back to Santa Claus. We were so glad to have her with us again, as she was when our other two girls were born and brought home from the hospital.

Now we're flying solo and trying to figure it all out in terms of parenting
three children. The house is still standing, but all three girls need baths. There aren't enough hours in the day at this point.
