Terrible No Good Awful Day!!!

I try not to complain on here to often but this has been just a terrible day and I need to vent and get it off my chest.
-Gianna spit up (for the first time since we have been home) in her bed and laid in in for who knows how long so it was caked to her head...oh yes that starts the morning.

-Madeleine woke up and insisted on watching Sesame Street so I thought I would bribe her so I could lay in bed a little longer...she found my mentholatam and used it as lotion on her legs!

-As we were getting ready Madeleine was giving me a hard time about going upstairs to get dressed. I went upstairs and she usually would follow me, well she didn't so I busted out the full name and she came. She was being silly on the stairs and doing this weird crawl she does often but about half way up she decided to stand up and leaned to far back and fell down the stairs! Head over heals rolled down the stairs! She is ok, it just scared her and me!

-I had a doctors appointment with a kinda new doctor and lost her business card so I did not know where I was going. In between school zones I was trying to get Jahno to tell me where it was. Popi and Nana were going to watch the girls and half way there I get pulled over because my inspection sticker it out! I told him I had just had a baby and just forgot about it and he told me my husband should have been more responsible. So I got a ticket but if I get my sticker fixed the "might" dismiss it.

-Then went to get my prescription filled and because we still have not received our cards they gave me a really hard time and were going to charge me $321.15 for a month of meds! So I had to get on the phone in the middle of the store and get info that the stupid clerk could have done herself! I go to do my shopping and the real reason I am there is for diapers and formula and the little odds and ins, well they are out of my diapers!!! I dig and dig and find one package that is open but I have diapers. I got to check out and forget to give my coupons that totaled over $10!

So now I am home, I put Madeleine to bed, I vented, I am about to bathe Gianna, put Gianna to bed, shower, pray tomorrow is better and go to sleep! (I feel a little better:-])

Houston, It Fell Off!!!!

Yes, Gianna's belly button finally fell off after 18 days! They never should have told me 7 to 14 days because I was going crazy! I decided to save ya'll the pictures but had to share the great news...I am not afraid anymore!!!!

Oh Madeleine...

Madeleine....well...has been trying herself a little bit lately. She only wants to eat and drink my stuff. We can have the same exact thing on the our plates but she wants to eat Mommy's. I catch her sneaking my drinks and when I say her name she quickly says, "Please, can I drink?" We catch her in the kitchen trying to eating stuff also. We are trying to get through to her that she has to ask if she wants something. And we are trying to make sure we put stuff up also. Well, Jennifer made us an amazing Gumbo and Rice and Brownies. Jennifer had to run so I was walking her out and started back to the kitchen and this is what I found.

Gianna's 2 week appt

We saw the doctor this morning and everything went great! Dr. Q was very impressed at how alert she was. She is already lifting her head and looking around and she is following voices and people...that is was he was the most impressed with. He stated that we should watch for milestones a couple months earlier. She weighs 7lbs 8.5oz and is 20 1/2in long. (And has Jahno's tiny head, maybe tiny heads=genius)Today Gianna decided she just wanted to stay awake and be held all day. The house will get done sometime...hopefully.




We also went to Story Time at Aimee's house for Mom's Club. We read Where the Wild Things Are and then made Crowns. It was very nice!

More Gianna

We are still getting use to everything. I had a little stay in the hospital but everything is ok and we are getting back into the grove of things. Madeleine loves Gianna and will tell everyone she possible can, "I LOVE HER!" She tells me when she is crying, when her eyes are open or closed and lately has been trying to share toys. We have had a couple of moments where Maddie has had a little melt down and wanted me to herself or when she wanted in the Boppy instead of Gianna. Hopefully we can start getting some sort of cleaning routine added into the taking care of the girls. Oh and I have to get the rest of my thank you notes done...brain fart. Here are some pictures and I will try to do little posts more often.

Time to Blog

Jahno is putting Maddie to bed and Gianna thinks the swing is the greatest thing so far so I should have some time to blog. We had to take Gianna back to the doctor 2 days after we were released from the hospital, I wasn't sure if it was jaundice or just routine. They had told us her jaundice was just below the worry line. When we got to the doctor they told us she had lost more weight and that was a concern especially since she is a formula baby. They wanted us to increase her formula to 3 oz...yeah, she doesn't stay awake for the 2 oz but ok. Well we could never get her to take 3 oz, she always went back to sleep or just refuse. I was extremely anxious because I did not know what to do. We got to the doctor today, I am fearing the worse because she is not eating any more than she had been, and she had gained weight. She is not back to her birth weight but she is gaining so that is all that matters. She is pretty set to a schedule, 3 hours at night and usually 4 hours during the day. It would be nice if that would switch but not counting on it. She is really easy going and only cries when she needs something.

Madeleine is doing great with her. Anytime Gianna cries Maddie tells her "It's ok, Gianna!" Well, Gianna has found her lungs and can scream pretty loud when she doesn't get what she needs fast enough. Madeleine now will get louder and louder trying to talk over Gianna's screaming. So by the end I have a screaming 2 years old trying to calm down a screaming week old baby.

Bad Blogger

I know I have been a bad blogger. I am just trying to take everything in and get use to 2 girls. Gianna is still losing weight so we go back tomorrow for a weight check. She just does not want to stay awake long enough to finish her bottles. The doctor told us to increase her formula...if we can't get her to stay awake for the lesser portion how are we going to get her to stay awake even longer? Madeleine is doing great she is very gentle and tries to comfort Gianna when she is upset. I will try to post again tomorrow after the doctor's appointment and I will post some pictures.
