Weekend

This Sunday we will be going to London to celebrate Gordies 1st b-day. Should be fun. It will also be the first time we make a long trip with Alex. Should be interesting to see how she handles a long car ride. My mom is also coming for a week. She will be here on Sunday. Maybe we will see Lynds and Colin as well. I should go start supper.

Alex's Dr's appointment

Today Alex had a Dr's appointment. She had her first needle. She only cried a little. I felt really bad. Alex is now 10 lbs 2oz. We are now waiting for daddy to come home. He's off for the weekend. My friend Chantal is coming for a visit on Sunday. Not much else going on.

For Andrea

Wanted to ask you this when we spoke on the phone but totally forgot. Can we get gift ideas for the girls? Went shopping today and could not find anything that I thought they would like.

Where Did The Day Go?

I started the day around 9am. Nothing to much planned. Sheri is on her way and we are going shopping. It's now 8pm. Didn't get much shopping done since Alex was cranky. We came home and had to deal with the cranky baby. She hasn't been to happy the last few days. Anybody want her?:) Just kidding. Tonight Dave and I watched a movie. ALFIE. Very boring and dumb. We also are using the fireplace. Dave made a nice fire. It take a while before it heats the basement, maybe we will get a fan for it. Alex is once again very cranky. Dave managed to console her and she sitting snuggly in her car seat. I'm thinking of leaving her in the car seat for the night. Well that's all folks. Oh ya Kim we did have 3 really bad poops. Maybe Dave will write about them.

Cutie

Alex is now 6 weeks old. Ican't believe how fast it's going. She had another good night last night. Another 5 hr sleep. The only thing is that it took her almost two hrs to fall asleep. Dave help with her last night. I just wanted to go to sleep. Thanks for the help Dave. I feel bad for Dave, when he gets home from work I need a break from Alex so I expect her to go to her dad. Well she cries when she with him. It kills me. I remember when Abby was a baby and I would ho;ld her she would cry. It would kill me. How can my niece not like it when I hold her. It eventually stopped but he's her father he should be able to calm her. I know I have the magic tool and the touch but please I need a break sometimes. Have to go she's waking up.

To The Grant and White Clan

Dave and I were wondering if we are doing a gift exchanged among the brother and sisters or are we just concentrating on the little ones. We were thinking maybe doing what we did last year or a couples gift. What does everyone think? Individual gifts are fine with us but we are limited. Please let us know.

Another Good Night

Alex slept in her crib last night and slept for 5 hrs. Is this the beginning of sleeping through the night. We will see what happens tonight.

Update

I'm sorry it took me so long to update the results. I'm still waiting for a phone call from the pediatrician office. I did phone our family doctor and they said she had a normal ultrasound. I will know more when we go in on the 23 for her first set of needles:( . Last night Alex slept in her car seat in the crib and she slept for 5 hours:) It was really nice. I'm thinking of doing the same tonight. That's all for now. Alex is fussing

Alex's Ultrasound

Alex is 1 Month Old :)

Today is the fith and Alex is now 1 month old. One month down and many many more to go. Life the last month flew by. I love Alex but man, she's a night owl and I'm still trying to break her out of that. I've been told it will get better. To everyone who said that to me, I have one question for all of you. WHEN DOES IT GET BETTER. I knew it was going to hard but the hard part is when Dave works evenings and I'm trying to get her to bed and she fusses for ever and I have no one to help. I've told Dave that I would let him sleep when he has to work, well I had to wake him up for help a few times. I'm sorry Dave and thank you for not getting upset with me when I need your help. I love you and Alex thanks you for helping her as well. I also want to thank you Dave for getting up in the mornings and taking her downstairs so I can get a few more hours of sleep. I love you
