1 month!

Happy 1 month, baby!













Time does fly...

New sleepwear

For a long time, Piglet was into Maisy. So much so, that she WAS Maisy. She told everyone she met that Maisy was her name. I eventually stopped correcting her and decided to enjoy this phase of her childhood. Well, guess the Maisy phase is over, because now she is Strawberry Shortcake. That's what she told her Sunday school teachers today. I'm quite enjoying this and bought her some "strawberry" pajamas. By the way, I wish they hadn't modernized Strawberry Shortcake. That stinks...


Speaking of pajamas, this is one of the best inventions ever. Baby outgrew all her receiving/swaddling blankets so I decided to give it a try despite its price tag [35 bucks!]. In my experience, this is about the only thing that keeps baby arms tucked under all night. And no flailing arms = sleeping baby. She's still far from sleeping through the night [not that I expect that from a 4 week old] but she could do a pretty long stretch in this. I bought a second one just so that I don't have to wash it everyday. I seem to be justifying all my new baby purchases by telling myself I'll pass them on to my sister, who is due in January. Hmm, not the best photo. I barely had any lighting as I took this photo as fast as I could and ran out of the baby's room before she could wake up.

Poop wears brown.

So it's the end July and we've been potty training Piglet since March. [Sigh.] She's been doing well with pee pee but pooping is just not happening. So when she went a few days ago, we made sure to make a big deal out of it, giving her endless praises and celebrating with 2 pieces of chocolates [for making #2, she says...]. She loved the attention, so I tried bribing her again with more chocolate today. [Yes, I'm a great mom.] She tried and tried and tried. I felt bad so I told her maybe it's just not ready to come out, we'll try again later. She responded, "Mommy, I wanna try for a few more minutes. Poo poo is getting ready to come out, it's putting on its brown clothes right now!" Just about the only thing that made me forget how tired I was today.

3 weeks.

Growing.

She's growing fast... love to see her plumping up!

She's here!

It's already been almost 2 weeks but our little bundle of joy is here! I was induced after being dilated 3-4 cm for about 3 weeks. And once again I was blessed with a super fast and easy delivery. Piglet loves her little sister. She is just super cuddly and easy-going. Hmm, I need to come up with a "blog name" for her...
