Birth weight/current weight: 8 lbs 10 oz/ 11 lbs 13 oz

Gestation at birth/current age: 39 weeks/ 2 months and 1 week

New skills, milestones, etc: HL's head control is amazing. She does really well with her head is she is one us, but hates tummy time.

Ongoing issues: GERD

How are YOU doing? I am doing better than I was. I am learning how to deal with Post Partum Anxiety. I'm trying to not be so hard on myself when things don't go as planned even though I'm currently upset things didn't go as planned.

Get things off your chest and vent about it:
Mr. P's parents told us they aren't going to feel comfortable babysitting the girls until HL is 3 or 4. We both know by then they really won't be up to it. I think it is because HL was in the NICU and AG has some separation anxiety from when I had to stay in The Ronald McDonald House away from her. It is just too much for them. That means Mr. P and I won't be able to go out on any dates for quite some time


Do you have any questions?:
Does anyone else have a hard time getting family to watch their LO's?


Things to share?:
HL is doing really well on formula despite her GERD. I am so happy she is doing well on it.


What made you smile this week?:
The way AG interacts with HL makes me smile every time.

QOTM: What is one goal you want to achieve in the New Year? To use my planner.
