Went to dr today and Juliana has grown! She is up to 7 lbs 9 oz and her jaundice is much better. Yay for that! She is filling out--you can tell that her face is fuller and her little legs are thicker. So sweet--love to see my baby growing! She's still almost a full pound smaller than Anna Clare was when she was born, but hey, we will get there! :-)
Can't believe tht mom had been here two weeks already. I dread her leaving, even though I know we will be fine. Wish we lived closer. Nothing would hold me back from moving back home except that we have the BEST church family EVER and Andy loves his job. Jobs like this don't come everyday and I am so grateful!
Anna Claire is talking so well --her speech is really taking off. There's no way I could list all the words she's saying or repeating (she's a little monkey these days), but here's a few of the extra cute ones:
Ants: "an-ya"
"Ow!"
On: "on-ya"
Chicken nugget: "chi-nut"
Fry: "fy"
"Go wide" -- wants to go ride the bicycle with Andy to the park
She says "meego" a LOT, in various situations and we have NO IDEA what it means. It's obviously an action word because she expects something to happen when she says it, and she will often point to things and say it. Can't make a connection yet though. :-)
She's taken to shrieking lately when she doesn't get her way, and even squealing meanly at people when she wants to be left alone. Makes me sad because these people care about her and have been so kind, but I know it's a phase like every other. We just continue to correct her. I don't know if it has to do with having less attention from me, or jealousy over Juliana, or what, but I've been struggling with a bit of self doubt and guilt about it. :-(
Emotions are still haywire. Stupid hormones. Hoping not to have to go on meds this time, but don't enjoy being an emotional wreck either. Have doctor appointment today so we will see what he says....
