Nightmare Weekend

On Friday Sadie had her first appointment with Uncle Tommy and she has gained 8 ounces since leaving the hospital. She is now 6 lb, 12 oz. and she's grown a 1/2 inch--she's 19.5 inches long now. Marme came over again; it was our last day of a wonderful week with Marme. Marme and I took Sadie to the Parenting Center so I could get some much needed help from the lactation consultant there. Nursing Sadie has been rough, but hopefully things will keep getting better. On Friday night Peter and I ordered August Moon and he promised to wake up with Sadie so I pumped some bottles for him. I was so excited about the prospect of sleeping through the night. At 9:30 we heard Betsy crying. Peter went in her room and she had thrown up everywhere. My poor baby! The rest of the weekend was a blur of terrible diapers, crying (all three of us girls), not sleeping, keeping babies separated, and general misery. Betsy slept through the night last night, but she threw up again this morning. I hope it's because we gave her milk and it was just too much for her on an empty stomach. She cried from about 6 am until 8:45 am when Katie arrived to help me because Peter had to get to work. Attie is on her way over. Sorry for the downer post, but it has been a downer weekend.

Thanks so much to our family for helping us out this weekend (and all the time)--we really could not have made it through this weekend without y'all!!!
