PEDIATRIC UPDATE

This just in....

Molly had her two month appointment, and here are her STATS

weight: 10lbs 6.8oz (50%tile)

height: 22in (25-50%tile)

head circumference: 15.25in (75%tile)

PERFECT!

She got three shots, none of which I enjoyed watching the nurse give, considering it took her 5 minutes for all three. It was a prolonged process, and I wish she was stuck all at once. Although, the way Molly reacted, I do feel like she will have drama in her life just as Lily does. Oh the joy of girls :)

Happy girl before poked at!Time to go home, and my legs hurt...boo hooOk maybe I will calm down for a quick photo....Nope, I take it back, I'm too upset...

2 month Molly, and I'M BACK!

Here I just finally posted Lily and Molly's 6 week comparison and now she is already 2 months!!! Wow, the time has flown by! So fast, even, that I am going back to work this Thursday! It is bittersweet to say the least. It was a couple of weeks ago that I was telling myself I was ready to go back, I felt great, yadayada, and now the time has come and I would like to take back those silly thoughts! In truth, I have never loved being a stay-at-home Mom more than I do right now!

Yes...the money will be a huge relief.....

No...the time away from Lily and Molly will not be fun, but torturous! And even though it is while they are sleeping I feel I will be giving up so much while at work and even when I come home to sleep.

...putting Lily down to bed, giving her a bath, reading her a book, singing to both of the girls in bed, making dinner, eating dinner with Mike and the girls...I could go on!

BUT

I am truly blessed to have the flexibility of my job, and in reality I should only be working about 2 days a week......feeeewh AND I am looking forward to seeing my coworkers, whom so many are my dear friends.

Soooo, while I'M BACK means I am back to work, I am also BACK to the gym! This may be the highlight of my week! I would first like to thank, Jaime, for my motivation via g-chat yesterday when she invited me to a step class at Fitness First (the gym I have been paying for, for the last 9 months but not going to, yeah that one). The class, which I have taken in the past, reminded me of the days in Arlington, when Jaime, Kara and I would work out together. Not only was the class full of reminiscences, but also full of a great cardio work out that boosted my energy 1o fold!

I FEEL GREAT! And today, even I brought myself to the gym AGAIN, for an intense 3 mile run on the treadmill! For this I would like to thank 'Mumford and Sons' for their amazing album that kept me digging for my inner strength while listening to their upbeat instrumentals. I highly suggest them as background music when trying to achieve a good run!

Okay, okay, enough boasting from myself....pics of the Molly girl....

2 Months ain't so bad!

Oh, did we mention we enjoy legwarmers? Oh, and don't judge but apparently Molly already enjoys not just the boob, but the boob tube

Oh and this blog is not just about our newest addition, Molly, but also my little girl, Lily. Here is the face of my ever growing baby. She amazes me everyday with her whit, humor and intelligence!

6 WEEK COMPARISON...

Totally not what I expected when comparing pictures of the girls!!!!! Here I thought they actually looked alike..NOT! Some similarities and then NONE at all. Mostly none at all.

I am going to say, the shape of their eyes...similar....shape of their face...not similar....funny faces...SIMILAR :) Lily, no hair and blonde, Molly, hair and brown. I have some good 2 month shots that will be good to compare with Molly, but we don't go to our check up until Feb 24. Until then.....

Lily.............then...........Molly

Some extras....

4 Generations.....

Karma?

I suppose it's Karma, or that saying 'what goes around comes around', or 'that's what you get for saying...'

Whatever you want to call it, I believe I am experiencing it this very week...

FIRST-last week I was telling my Mom..well maybe giving her a hard time about how horrible her dishwasher and how much better mine was and so on and so on and that all she needed to do was spend a little more money on Cascade to get the dishes clean! Gosh Mom, why are you so cheap?? haha I am allll for generic, but I do believe there are certain things that just don't cut it like the 'name brands'...dish washing detergent being one of them.

Any who...what happens this week to me? Dishwasher mysteriously isn't cleaning my dishes properly! Ahhh! My amazing dishwasher just so happens to suck this week.....WITH my Cascade! I do hope to get to the bottom of this!

NEXT- I guess I have been tooting my horn when chatting about Lily and Molly lately! Everything is sooooo wonderful, the girls are greaT!...Molly is sleeping 5-6 hours a night, Lily is just a perfect angel...blah blah blah I say one thing about another toddler and how I would never allow this attitude or acting out and so on (no worries, it was about a stranger at the mall I saw)...and BAM what happens???

......this week, Lily was a mess! Acting out, giving attitude, whining, crying, AND SO ON!!! On top of it all Molly has decided to sleep not 5-6 hours throughout the night but now in one and half to two hour increments.! Lovely!

The bags under my eyes have grown darker, and my patience was tested this week! Still I love the life I live, but I might be a little more careful with what I say in the future :)
