Happy Easter!

This weekend we were able to get out of the city for a little rest and relaxation! It was a wonderful weekend in front of what will surely be a hard week. Here are a few picts from today...

Lillian in her Easter outfit.

Lillian's adorable shoes which were my Aunt's when she was a child. Too cute!

So I'm a bad mom and forgot Lillian's Easter basket.

Luckily my mom remember hers!

Lillian got her Easter basket from us when we got home this afternoon.

Lillian starts daycare tomorrow and I go back to work on Thursday which means we're all about to go through some big adjustments. Although I want to go back to work, I'm feeling really anxious about it. I'm just nervous about being able to pump enough to keep up with her demand. My work is pretty crazy and I spend about 50% of the day in meetings. I'm just going to have to be really strict with my schedule and keep my pumping times blocked out. I have a fairly large freezer stash built up (around 180oz), but am just nervous about having to dip into it. Since I've never pumped for a whole day I just have no idea what to expect.  On the advice of a friend, I am giving myself a few days at home to try to figure it out before I return to work on Thursday. Wish me luck! (and feel free to leave any tips!)

Pug Love

Ella, my pug, is my real first child. I've had her for almost 7 years, and she has been the queen of the castle from Day 1. Ella has never been really fond of children, and is insanely protective of me. Throughout my pregnancy, I was really worried about how Ella was going to be with Lillian. I assumed there would be a lot of jealousy, which definitely seemed to be the case. Ella wouldn't even acknowledge Lillian for the first month and a half. So imagine my surprise when I returned to my bedroom this morning to find this...

Lillian fell asleep in my arms after her morning feeding. I laid her down on the bed while I ran to the kitchen to grab a drink. When I returned I noticed Ella wasn't in her usual spot under the covers by my feet. After feeling around for her, I found her snuggled up next to Lillian! It was too cute!!!

2 month check up

Last Thursday we had Lillian's two month appointment. I was a little worried about the appointment because Lillian didn't seem to be feeling well that day anyway. At the beginning of the appointment Lillian got weighed and measured. As of 2 months and 5 days her stats were as follows:

Weight: 9lbs 3oz (5th percentile)
Length: 21.5" (5th percentile)
Head: 15.75" (50th percentile)

So its safe to say we have a little peanut on our hands. Then came the bad part... the shots. She got one in each leg in addition to an oral vaccination being administered. She was really not happy about it and I must admit it was horrible to watch. I felt so bad for her.

Lillian was not happy after her shots!

Then we got really sick. ALL OF US. It was not  pretty. It started out with DH getting sick on Wednesday. He thought it was a sinus infection at first but it progressively got worse and he ended up spending all friday in bed. Friday morning I woke up and had a soar throat. I made a quick appointment with my ENT and he confirmed a throat infection. ugh. Of course, Lillian was doomed. She was really cranky on Thursday evening because of the shots. Then on friday it all got worse. Her nose started running, and around 4pm she started running a fever. It was so sad. You could just tell how bad she felt. The good news is that once I gave her Tylenol and I was able to keep the fever down. She seemed to be feeling better this morning so hopefully we are all on the mend.

In fun Lillian news, she is starting to learn to smile. It is so stinking cute!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
