Some Updates: My sweet friend Ms. Kim hosted a gift exchange\/Christmas get-together this past week and I ended up bringing Ella with me…ultimately not the most relaxing due to some fussiness, but so fun to have her out and pass her around to all the willing arms.<\/p>\n

It’s been a quiet weekend so far at the Bischoff house! This morning Vann took Charlie downtown to spend time with a colleague of his, and I strolled Ella over to Ms. Liz’s where I was fed a delicious breakfast and told to sit while my baby was held for me. (How much do I love my friends??)<\/p>\n

After naps, Vann got Charlie dressed for some more daddy\/daughter time and Ella and I watched “You’ve Got Mail” (one of my very favorite holiday movies) and putzed around in our pj’s (yes, I’m still in my pj’s)…I’m trying to take it a bit easier. After putting together our 45 pound stroller the other night I thought it would be a good idea to lift it…which has caused a resurgence of pain from my incision site. Don’t know what I was thinking.<\/p>\n

I’m very proud to report that Baby E is continuing to fill out and we are finally able to start using some of Charlie’s cute hand-me-down’s!<\/p>\n

Mom is safely back in Texas. It’s quiet around here. I’m so thankful that I have Vann for a full week this week and off and on through the holidays. I really have to brag on his ability to find the humor in everything and his willingness to power through these long nights with me.<\/p>\n

We used the book Babywise <\/a>to sleep train Charlie and she “slept through the night” (meaning 6 hours or so) at 8 weeks, which is what the book (more or less) guarantees will happen if you follow it faithfully. We’ve started it again with Ella and at almost 5 weeks I am not too optimistic at this point! After you get used to sleeping 8-10 hours a night (seriously, aside from the occasional sickness, Charlie is pretty reliable that way) it is VERY difficult going back to square one. I pray that little Miss E will follow in her sister’s footsteps and give her Mommy and Daddy a break around the same time (or earlier, if she so desires!)…Until then, the DVR is my best friend and I’m learning how to read and nurse at the same time, what talent!!<\/p>\n
