(and other news)
I am very happy report that Baby Girl has finally started latching correctly. Needless to say, this is a big relief to Nicole; her outlook improved considerably yesterday when it happened. Violet was having trouble getting all of the food she needed and this was making her (and therefore us) pretty agitated. It was also physically painful for Nicole. Happily, it straightened itself out and has been going well since.
Swedish Ballard (and probably other hospitals) schedules new babies to a two-day followup so that they can check body weight and coloring and see if there are any problems that the parents are having. We had ours yesterday; she's managed to keep her hospital-leaving weight and her fake-n-bake color is only a source of amusement, not medical concern. So, good news all around. A plug: Swedish Ballard is a wonderful place to have a baby and totally worth the drive.
Today we put Little Man in daycare and brought Violet to lunch, Home Depot and Target. I forgot how much easier an infant is to take around compared to a toddler. We'll get back to you on infant + toddler...
