Today Lily turned four months old! We don't go to the pediatrician till Thursday so I will have an update on stats then. Things are really going a lot better with her in all areas. She eats and sleeps better than she did before, and she gives away lots of smiles. She loves to watch Tripp and follows him all around the room and then looks for him when he is out of the room too. Tripp apparently enjoys having her around as he asked for another sibling this morning. He thought maybe we should have another boy so that that boy could be a brother to Lily too, just like him. I texted that to Nelson this morning and the conversation that followed pretty much summed up how Nelson and I adjusting:
E: The bug just suggested that we have another baby-this time a boy.
N: Oh wow! Funny, he already wants another kiddy!!
E: I know! Crazy! I guess he is not too traumatized by Lily!
N: Right! That is a good thing!
E: Yes for sure! I think I might still be traumatized though!
N: hahaha! Yes, me too!
Besides the fact that I just noticed we always use exclamation points, I thought it was pretty funny that we both admitted to still being a little traumatized by her birth. I am not sure that it qualifies for PTSD or anything, just still acclimating to having her around. Things continue to get better by the day, although apparently last week I totally turned off a co-worker to wanting to have kids. She apparently had been feeling bad that she wasn't married and didn't have kids, and then unbeknownst to me and my sharing of stories of how things have been going, I have successfully helped her realize that she is not quite ready to enter that realm of life yet. So glad I could help her out! I also realized today how much I benefit from my time alone in my car driving to visits for work with the radio blaring Rhianna's "We Found Love." Don't judge- I am sure you have a secret like that too!!
