Loryn adores her brother and loves him, but she is definitely jealous. She also has been regressing some. She went from doing very well with wearing underwear all the time and not having accidents, to having at least 1 accident a day. She is also acting out and not listening and is having trouble sleeping at night. Last night it took us 2 hours to get her to go to sleep and she woke up several times last night. She has been asking us to cuddle more and for Eric to sing more to her. We continue to try to plan for fun events (like taking her to Music Class on Tuesday-just Loryn and Mommy) and playing with her more during the day, but we aren't sure if this attention is helping.
Ethan is doing well. We wish he would sleep more at night. Hoping in time, he gets his days and nights flipped around. He went to the pediatrician today and got a great report. He has gained 5 ounces since we brought him home and has grown 3/4 of an inch since birth. He is now eating a full 2 ounce bottle and we are thinking he may want 3 ounces. We will probably try a 3 ounce bottle tonight to see how he does with it.
Eric has been sick. He was at the doctor last week while Ethan was in the hospital and then again on Tuesday morning. He is now on his 2nd round of antibiotics.
I am doing alright, just exhausted. I think I am getting around 2-4 hours of sleep each night (and not in a row).
Here are some pictures that we took when we brought Ethan home.
