The Meyer Family

Notice the shirt says "Happy to be a girl!"

It has been only 19 days but Nallia has grown so fast. She has a curious personality and is of course a bit feistier than Bryson. We had a pretty good week, Drew was back at work and my mom left Tuesday. Bryson had fun seeing her off at the airport. You would think since we live so close he would be over the airplane thing but it seemed all new to him. We hung out at the airport for a few minutes and watched the planes. There were two planes parked on the tarmac, Bryson explained how one was for Grammy and of course the other was “Becca’s Plane”.

In March my cousin, Rebecca, came to visit and Bryson had a blast. Since we took Rebecca to the airport and she got on a plane to fly home to Boston, every time we see a plane there is some hope she is on it. He loves to wear any of the clothes she bought him and recently I got a necklace in the mail from her, every night he tells me how I am wearing my “Becca Necklace”.

After my mom left it has been just me and the kids. What a reality check! Bryson is very high energy, at least when I was pregnant I could play with him and I was just a bit slow, now I am pinned to a chair while I feed Nallia or at best have one hand free while holding her. She doesn’t do very well laying down, she tends to burp and spit up, so we hold her most of the day or I have her in the Moby Wrap.  Nights have not been as hard as I thought they could be. It seems to be best if Drew takes her for a few hours in the evening after Bryson is in bed and I go to bed, then I take her from about 1am on. She feeds most of the night and I change her a few times a night but over all we are sleeping.

Thursday Nallia had her first doctor’s visit. She was 20 ¾ inches and 8lbs 5.5 ounces. She has a slightly stuffed up nose (thanks to B) but everything else was great.  It was just another reminder of how great our doctor is and how supportive the practice is of homebirth.
