... is amazing! I am a happy mom! Life has been very busy lately, but so good!
We had a great Christmas... lots of time with family.
Emily Rose is now almost 8 weeks old! We have been discharged from the midwives care now, so we're done with them. I had my last appointment there last week and I almost thought I was going to cry. I loved my midwife so much; she gave me a big hug when I left and I thanked her so much; she made the birth experience very enjoyable! She told me again how great I did. That could be our last time at their office, who knows. At this point, we are undecided if we'll have a third child. We could very well be done. I have convinced hubby to put off that decision until Emily is at least 2 years old and then we'll revisit it.
We are so lucky with Emily; she is such an amazing baby! Sleeps at least 4 hour chunks at night - sometimes as long as 6 or 7 hours! She is a very good eater and has been gaining weight like crazy! We'll find out exactly how much she weighs at her first doctors appointment on Thursday. I think she probaby weighs at least 13 pounds by now.
I have been experiencing some health issues in the last few weeks. On 3 separate occasions, I have had severe pain in my back and abdomen. Looking back, I think it is the same pain I had once nearing the end of my pregnancy that landed me in the hospital. Well, I think the pain is gallbladder attacks. I have an appointment tomorrow morning for an abdominal ultrasound to try to get to the bottom of what has been causing my pain.
