Almost A Pound In Just A Week!

Tuesday I had an appointment with the lactation consultant. When I called to get the appointment they had a couple in the eight o'clock hour or a 10:30....I thought for a few minutes because E's feeding time is 9:00....now that would be a good time to be there since we would want to feed her there but I thought "Can we really get up, dressed and to the doctor's office by 8 something??? So, I decided to take the 10:30....and guess what....we were up dressed and I even had time to wash bottles and boil nipples...oh my goodness...now we did not have alot of extra time to spare but that is an accomplishment at my house...then at 10:00 I got Ea dressed and off we went...I told Keith later I wish I could get that much done every morning...

Well, they always weigh her and I am always anxiously awaiting to see what her weight is...are you ready for this...she was 8 pounds 11 1/2 ounces! Yes, she has gone up almost a pound in just a week...last week she was 7 pounds 12 ounces....as we were waiting for the nurse yesterday it came to me...Ea is finally as big as Kate was when she was born...Kate was 8 pounds 12 ounces....

So, our appointment was at 10:30...after seeing the lactation nurse then we were moved to another room because I had a few questions (concerns)...we talked with one of the other nurses then saw one of the doctors for a few minutes and then left...we got in the car...Keith looked at his watch...it was 1:00! So, we came home..I heated up leftovers from last night (thanks Linda!) we ate...and then my friend Dena came by...of course I forgot to take a picture of Dena and E...I even told Dena that I needed to get a picture of the two of them before she left...so I will just have to make sure I do that next time she is here! Later in the evening my friend Asa stopped by....guess what...no picture again....

Today, my goal is to make it to the grocery store....we have been so blessed to be provided with meals and I have not had to cook. Thanks Jenn for setting that up. It has been such a blessing because I do not know when either of us would have had time to cook a meal...it would have been alot of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for me and bologne sandwiches for Hubby...(when we eat sandwiches that is each of our favorite) Our meals ended this week so it is time for me to start cooking again. I am going to try and come up with quick and easy meals....we really like casseroles so I am hoping to find some new casserole recipes. If you have any quick and easy recipes I would love for you to send them to me!!!

Of course I can not post without leaving a picture of E....we are still working on E's room but here is a picture of her in her bed...the sheets are from Kate's bedding....I still have to get sheets to match E's stuff...the bumper pad is from Kate's bedding as well and we are using it but we are not doing the fish theme(like on the sheets) in E's room.
