It's been 6 weeks since Peanut was born. In those 6 weeks, she has gained about 4 pounds, drinks 5 ounces in one feeding and slept 7 hours in one stretch. She has been a pretty easy baby for the most part. Not as easy as Boogs was, but I'm not complaining. To be honest, in these past 6 weeks I have been getting a little cabin fever and squeamish. I can only imagine how Boogs must feel, but she is very patient, loving and helpful with the new addition around the house. I am so thankful for her and the little things she says and does throughout the day that makes me love being home with my girls.
My list of loves:
- When Peanut is crying and Boogs says, "It's okay, unnie here."
- When Boogs calls Peanut "Teanut"
- When Peanut shoots me a little smile after she was just fed letting me know she's satisfied
- When I put Boogs down for a nap and I hear through her monitor, "Mommy, Nahl Salang? (Jesus Loves Me in Korean) No, sing Nahl Salang already. Can sing to your baby. Mommy, Jesus Love Me? No, sing Jesus Love Me already. You can sing to your baby..." (she is having the conversation we have together before I leave her room, but she is saying both hers and my side of the conversation)
- Boogs feeding her little sister, getting comfortable in her corner with the boppy and always telling me, "Mommy, take a picture."
- A whole mess of other things that I can't possibly write in this limited space
My list of hates:
- No matter how much or how long I do laundry, it never seems to go away
- After one meal, I feel like I have to clean the whole kitchen, not just a sinkful of dishes
- I have less than a month before I start going back to work (although not fulltime in the beginning)
I have about 5 pounds left to lose and those seem to not want to go away. I've had about 5 pounds left to lose for the past 3 week
