1 month

Holy cow! I cant believe its already been one whole month since little Eva was born. We are just absolutely loving her. Yes, its hard, and im always complaining, but its soo much fun to have a new baby in the house. We waited so long to have her and now shes here and growing so fast. Last Drs. visit she weighed 9lbs. 14 oz. so she is right on track. She is a little colicy, but its nothing the good ol binky cant take care of. That thing is a life saver! Our nights are getting better, sorta. She sleeps for a good 4-6 hours, but she wont go to bed til midnite. Papa's been taking that shift (thanks dad). So we're getting some rest.
Riley LOVES her little sister! A little too much if you ask me. She's like Elmyra from Animaniacs, she wants to hug her, and kiss her, and squish her at the same time. With all the love, theres also a tinge of jeolousy. Every day i have to keep a close eye on her because she'll smack her in the head or squash her. Today she tried to step on her. Oh my children. I've had to send her to her room a few times for not being nice to little sister. She cries, but i think she's learning.
Its been pretty crazy around here, but im enjoying it. Its definately not easy being a parent, but its the most rewarding job ever. You just have to take it one day at a time.

Eva Update

Just a little update on little Miss Eva. She is doing great. She's gained a pound and a half now weighing 8.5lbs. her jaundice is completely gone and doesnt look yellow anymore. her tear ducts are a little plugged so she has a little eye infection, but its getting better. She doesnt know how to latch on yet and we've talked to over three lactation consultant, all saying just wait, so we are
:( In the meantime, mommy is taking a beating but hanging on like a trooper. Evas had a bit of diahrea but is getting better, her little toosh is healing, and shes not as colicy anymore ( a few nights ago it was really bad). Over all, shes doing great. we've had a few bumps in the road but we've managed to get through.
A big thank you to grandmas' and everyone who has been able to help out with dinner and playdates for Riley. Its really been a blessing to have so many people around to help out. We love you guys!
