Life with 2 daughters...

... 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.
