I can't believe it. It's already been one month since the birth of our baby girl. We are all adjusting, not just to having a newborn in the house but also to uncle Kyle leaving and then Genevieve going home last Tuesday. I'm very tired, luc is not always taking a nap, so it's harder for me to get mine.... Otherwise, everything is going ok.
Mathilde had her one month check up today. She has gained over 2 pounds in the last 4 weeks! She weighs 10 pounds and half an ounce. That is 4.55 kg. she is 22 inches long (55.88 cm). And her head circumference is 15.5 inches. I can't remember the percentages but the weight was slightly above average and the length and head were way above. I think the length was 85% and the head was 95%, maybe weight was 75%.
Breastfeeding
Hmmm, it's never simple. This time around has gone so much better. Less pain, less crying.... Really awesome. However, I'm dealing with some plugged ducts right now. I definitely don't want it to turn into mastitis so I'm trying to work out the clog every time I nurse. I'm using a heating pad (thank you, Sheila). I'm massaging, which is quite painful sometimes and pumping when Mathilde doesn't nurse enough. I'm taking lecithin which supposedly helps. Trying to drink lots of water. Nursing in some odd positions. Taking probiotics just in case that can help keep the bacterial infection away...
Luc
Luc is only wearing diapers to bed at night and sometimes at naps. He usually tells us when he has to go. In fact he has been asking to go potty all the time, sometimes every 20 minutes..... We think just to get attention.... He asks much less if he is distracted but still no accidents.
He starts French preschool next week, 2 mornings a week. We are very excited for that. Luc, Mathilde and I went to the park today. A little stressful at times trying to pay attention to 2 kids, but overall he is a very good boy and listens pretty well.
