A Quick Update

*Karson was sick last week.  Actually, he has had a cold for a few weeks, but last week, his eyes looked horrible.  They were red, and swollen, and glassy.  I didn't think too much of it, but did have Auntie Leesh come over and look at them.

*Friday night into Saturday, Karson woke up screaming, and Ella only slept for 45 minutes at a time.  At 4 and 5am, my eyes were fine.  At 6am I heard Ella crying, tried to open my eyes, and couldn't.  I woke DJ up and told him I had Karson's eye 'thing.'  He got up with Ella while I changed, washed my face and hands, and tried to make sure anything Ella touched on me was disinfected.  (Ella hasn't taken a bottle-so DJ couldn't feed her for me.)  DJ looked up what time Urgent Care opened, and we started getting ready to head out...because it takes 2 hours to get out of the house with 2 littles.

*Urgent Care Visit-Karson and I have pink eye.  Pink eye stinks.  Pink eye hurts!  If your kid has pink eye, give them milk shakes and french fries, because pink eye is miserable!

*My house smells like Lysol.

*Ellary has been sleeping for 45 minutes at a time at night.  Gets up to nurse, falls asleep, and gets up 45 minutes later.   My Keurig is getting a work out.

*Last night-Ella slept for a 4 hour stretch.  I feel like I slept for 2 days!  Thank you little Ella!

*Karson is having a hard time...probably because he had pink eye for a week and we didn't realize it.  Serious Mommy guilt...sorry Munchkin!

*Ellary was back up to her birth weight, before she was a week old.  Yaay Ella!

*Little girl is STRONG!  The nurse may or may not have semi freaked out on me when I told her Ella sleeps on her side.  She calmed down a little when I told her she gets on her side all on her own.  Which she has done since she was only a few days old.  She hates her back.

*Ella is nursing like a champ!  I hated nursing Karson.  He & I never got the hang of it, and we both ended up in tears every time I tried to feed him...for 8 weeks.  Miss Ellary was nicknamed "The Barracuda" in the hospital.  I swear all she did for the first week of her life was eat!  This time around-I actually enjoy nursing her.

*I am tired and both kids are sleeping...nap time for Mommy!
(I just jinxed myself and soon 1 will be awake screaming!)
