Happy and Healthy

I am happy to report that we are all (mostly) healthy! I say mostly because Mallory still has the occasional coughing spell, but she is doing so much better.

We don't really have much of a routine at this point. Isaiah is my alarm clock. I really like it when he sets his wake up time past 8:00, but this doesn't happen too often. With Mallory feeling better, we're sleeping more in between her night feedings. Like I mentioned earlier, she still wakes up coughing every once in a while, but I'm feeling rested when we wake up for the day.

The weather is going to be much warmer this weekend. I am so grateful for that! I've got pork steaks and chicken to marinate so that we can grill. Maybe some of the snow will melt!

Mallory is not quite old enough for the child care at the gym. (OK by me - we think this is where Isaiah picked up RSV.) As soon as she's 6 weeks old, Tim and I will be able to work out together again. That will be so much nicer than having to take turns, though I hope my workout buddy Jen can still go with me! Tim isn't allowed in the Lady Gold's room. :-) I can do a light workout now, and the intensity can go back up after my 6 week postpartum check at my OB's office.

Mallory is still sleeping a lot during the day. Some days she wants to be held more than other days. She's starting to get comfortable napping in the pack-n-play. Isaiah has become quite the turkey when it comes to napping and bed time. I think he's afraid he's going to miss something with Mallory. He doesn't like to be away from the baby, which is really cute until it's time for him to go to sleep.
