Mairi's Two Weeks Old Already

From Vikki
Mairi's two weeks old now. I can't believe how fast the time has flown! The midwife was here today because Mairi hadn't yet regained her birth weight (though she'd only lost 7oz from 7lb 14oz) and after feeding like a little piggie for the last few days and looking very drunk after each feed, she's gained a massive 12oz! She's now 8lb 3oz so 5oz over her birth weight. Not bad at all :D My wound's finally starting to heal too which is good.

Eilidh's doing very well, 99% of the time a very considerate and caring big sister with only the occasional jealous moment, usually when she's very tired. She's decided to potty train herself too, and has spent all day today dressed with no nappy on and we've had no accidents - she hasn't even asked for help when she needed to use the potty, pulling her shorts down and back up with no fuss. I just hope we don't have an issue getting a nappy on her tonight!

Ewan had to go to Nokia today so it was my first day alone with the girls, and it went fine. After feeding eight times between midnight and 9.30am, Mairi slept most of the day. Wish I could have! :P Eilidh's been great all day though which has really helped. I think I might get the hang of this mum-of-two lark after all!

Eilidh's been singing happy birthday to herself all day, and calling all sorts of things "presents" - we'd better make sure she has a cake with some candles to blow out tomorrow! :D
