Well the help has all left! Char and Mark were here from the 7th through the 15th. Phil was able to work a few days while they were here so he can save his vacation days for when we really need extra hands. We all had a great time and Wil loooooves hanging out with his busia and dziadzia. They were able to take Wil out to the park and run him around every day while I mainly tended to Evie and rested. I have determined that 3 people is just enough to care for 2 kids and a dog. Now that we are on our own, things are a bit trickier. Phil is able to be at home this week, so at least there are 2 adults around to take care of things, but we’re still figuring it all out. Evie is still a very easy-going baby, though feeding has been much trickier than it was with Wil. Shes not a very efficient eater, tends to take in a lot of air, and requires a lot of milk! Baby girl is 9 and a half pounds already!! All these things, combined with my distraction of Wilek and/or sleep deprivation, doesnt help Evie with these feeding issues. But we’re working on it together! Hopefully we’ll figure out a good routine in the next few weeks.
She is seriously awesome though – she soothes herself to sleep and quietly looks around when she is awake. Baths are, by far, the WORST experience ever for her though. She screams her bloody head off during baths. Not that I blame her – we still do sponge baths and she gets cold! I am not a fan of being cold either. (Funny enough – though I am the one who is usually always cold – my hormones are still leveling out from birth and ive kept the house at like 60-something degrees. Everyone else is freezing, haha. I’m starting to level out though and hopefully the house can go back to a normal temperature soon). Wil is giving Evie more attention – he likes to give her hugs and kisses now. We are working on being gentle. Sometimes he will try to climb on me while I am feeding her or will try to run his car over her head. Normal toddler stuff – nothing jealous or malicious – but Im constantly on guard!
Our biggest adventure comes when we take the whole brood to Chicago for my little brothers wedding!! We will be gone 4 days, so it will be interesting trying to keep everyone happy on the road! We will have lots of grandparents, aunts and uncles around though — So I think they will have a great time! And I cant wait for everyone to meet Evie! I’ll post wedding highlights when we get back!
