5lb 13oz!

Ian gained another 1/2 ounce yesterday! I was very happy to see 5lb 13oz when I put him on the scale this morning (with just a dry diaper on). He gained 2 ounces in 2 days which is a vast improvement considering the first 2 weeks he was home he only gained 2 ounces. An ounce a day is MUCH better than an ounce a week. Just four more ounces and he'll be back to his birth weight.

Paul didn't end up going to PSU yesterday, but he did go in today. We three are on our own for the first time today. I commented to Paul how I wasn't sure how I functioned when Nadia was this age because I was getting less sleep at night with her. He reminded me that I slept a lot more during the day when she was sleeping. Very true. My only chances for napping now are when Nadia is napping (which is a lot less than how much a newborn naps), and usually I am nursing Ian during at least a part of each of her naps. The adrenaline that was keeping me going the first few weeks seems to have vanished. I am pooped. I am not even reading during the night time feedings. I read five books in six days, and now after several days I still haven't finished the 6th book that I checked out last Monday.

Last night someone from the church brought us chicken and waffles. Neither Paul or I had ever eaten that before. Since I don't like gravy, I only ate the chicken (without the gravy or waffles), but Paul did eat the chicken and waffles with gravy. I thought the apple pie she brought was very delicious! I would have eaten the waffles with syrup if they didn't have pulled, stewed chicken on top. I think this is a Pennsylvania Dutch meal. I was surprised that Paul had never had it before since he's lived in PA almost his whole life.

Nadia is starting to adjust to having a brother. She says his name now. It's almost noon, and she hasn't had any temper tantrums today. YAY! She is definitely watching more tv these days though as that's one way to keep her happy when I am nursing Ian and Paul isn't around. I know it's just a temporary situation. As you can see from the photos below, she loves her kitchen. The third photo (below) cracks me up. I think she's going to be a multitasker like her Mommy - she's cooking and talking on the phone at the same time, LOL!
