Leg Warmers


Today, Maddi had a rough morning. She woke up at 4am for her first feed, had trouble latching and got very frustrated. After getting so worked up, I'm not sure if she had gas pains... she didn't even want to feed. After half an hour, she calmed down and decided to eat. She fed for half an hour and went back to sleep. Four hours later, she woke up for her second feed for twenty minutes, then slept for another hour and a half. This is when I got up, showered, dressed, had breakfast before she wakes up.

Maddi finally got up at 11am and we got ready for the day - fed, had a bath and got dressed for going out.

We went to our 2nd week of Parent-Baby Drop In. This time, Auntie Elina and Jacob came as well and Maddi got a present - Auntie Elina knitted her a pair of leg warmers! Thank you, Auntie Elina... these are perfect for the cold weather we are getting into. We also saw Bryn and Jonah, and I-Wen and Isaac.

It was an open-question session this week, and a lot of the questions were around sleep. We got a lot of good tips, like warming a blanket in the dryer before putting baby into the crib, especially if they've been warm sleeping against mama's chest. This was a great tip for me because Maddi would sometimes be sleeping on my shoulder then as soon as I put her down, she is wide awake.

At the end of the drop in, Maddi got weighed and she is now 9lbs 5.5oz!

On our way back, I decided to go to the West End to pick up a pair of jeans I left at Levi's to be hemmed a couple of weeks ago. And since we were in the area, we stopped by to visit Auntie Anne. We waited til Auntie Linda got there so she could meet Maddi for the first time.

On our way back, we picked up Auntie Julie so she could get her Christmas presents from Grandpa and Nana that she left at our place. After a short visit, Auntie Julie left and Maddi fed just two more times and went to bed early tonight at 10.45pm. That means I also get to go to bed earlier. =)
