Today Mika is one week old! The days have gone by quickly, yet I feel as though she's been with me always ;) She is eating and sleeping well and I feel so lucky that she sleeps pretty good during the night. I only have to wake up with her twice before I'm ready to wake up myself (I'm a morning person for sure) and every morning she gets very smiley...she must be a morning person like her mommy! Most people will say that newborns don't really smile, it's just gas, but I think Mika is an exception. She smiles A LOT, even when I don't hear or smell anything else! She usually smiles while her eyes are shut, so maybe she has really sweet dreams. In any case, she is a very good baby...she rarely cries and when she does, it takes her a while to actually do it. She is a squirmy girl, and loves to arch her back and kick her feet. She also loves to try and grab her bottle, especially when she's really hungry...which makes it a little hard for mommy to get her bib settled and the bottle in her mouth. She has successfully put both hands around her bottle a couple of times.
Elia is also doing very good too! She loves being around her baby sister, which is making things a little difficult right now because Elia has a cough and I have to keep her away from the baby and my Lysol spray near by. There has been a couple of incidents of "jealousy", but Sam and I are trying hard to not let her feel left out. I've been VERY happy that Elia hasn't regressed with her potty training...she still wears pull-ups at night, but for the rest of the day she's in her big girl panties. I"m so happy that I started early so that now I only have to buy diapers for one!
Motherhood is AWESOME, challenging...but definitely rewarding! I love having 2 little girls in my home and being surrounded by all the pink and pretty things. I'll be home on family leave for the next 4 weeks and I plan to make the most of every precious moment!
