Just a quick update before the girls wake! Mylee is doing amazing! She is sleeping GREAT and still trying to get the hang of nursing! Sometimes it can be frustrating but I've told myself to not get upset with nursing. I did with Kendal and I stopped nursing when she was 5 months. After stopping I realized how much I loved it. That special time with her was now gone. So with Mylee, I'm doing my best to be as patient as I can and to enjoy it! Which I do! The ONLY time she cries is when she has to poo or burp. She doesn't like it at all. She screams and screams and then a burp or gas will pass and she's back to sleep. It's actually super cute! Mylee sleeps 5 hours at a time at night. I figured that's not too long, doctor said wake her up every 3 hours to eat. If I do that, Mylee will eat like 10 min MAX and back to sleep. With the 5 hours, she wakes up on her own and eats double. She knows what she needs. :) During the day I'll probably wake her ever 4. I love her little cry and whimpers! (They are sweeter to the ear than an almost 3 year old fit!)
Speaking of fits! I've been having a difficult time with Kendal for a while...since I was like 7 months pregnant. She is beyond busy and needs entertainment all the time. When I started getting uncomfortable and having a hard time keeping up with life, is when I began to notice her boredom. Once her boredom hits, she will get in to EVERYTHING to get ANY kind of attention. She is in no way jealous of Mylee, she LOVES her. She always wants to hold her and kiss her. I'll figure Kendal out soon. Just still trying to recover and get strength back.
Life is pretty amazing these days. I love having 2 kids. I love having 2 GIRLS! And I'm SOOOOO thankful for all the meals this week! It's been so easy to adjust back to life and not have to think about dinner!! Thank you EVERYONE for your help!!!

Congratulations again! I know how you feel I tried so hard nursing mackenzie (exclusively) but when 4 months hit it went down hill but I know i'm doing what i think is best. I say don't worry about her sleeping 5 hours at night she'll wake when she's hungry. I've heard it from a few people and I let them sleep. Kaylee is worse now that Mackenzie is mobile but i know it will pass. Mylee is adorable, and get better soon so you can play with both of your cute girls. I know I love playing with mine :)
I love seeing you grow as a mommy! You are doing wonderfully and just keep be patient! Love you!
Cool pics! We don't have enough natural light in our house if it isn't perfectly sunny out - everything gets so washed out with the flash on the camera your mom gave us. Maybe I'll figure it out someday!
Nursing is a truly selfless thing but it also is selfish too - that's why I nursed McKelle until 18 months. That bonding time is sure a special thing! The lactation people at the hospital are always there with info if needed!
I NEVER wake a sleeping baby unless there's a darn good reason!:)
