Michaela is now over one month/five weeks old already! She had a doctor’s appointment on Tuesday and got a clean bill of health – and a shot. Well, two shots, actually, since the first one wasn’t done correctly by the student nurse – Michaela looked super tough for several hours sporting matching bandaids on her […]
Today was Nicole’s first day at home by herself with Michaela and Bella. Reports from the front lines are that she has no idea where the day went, but that she did manage to do some laundry AND take a shower. Of course, what she forgot to do was take pictures!
We don’t plan on having an official nickname for Michaela, but we do find ourselves calling her several things that are not her given name on a regular basis. Our favorites are Shmunchkin Munchkin (when she’s all scrunched up and looks like she doesn’t have a neck), Poquito Burrito (when she’s swaddled), Fussy Fuss/Fussy Fussersons […]
Many family and friends have asked how Bella has been handling the new addition to the family. After the first week – during which Bella went outside and sat in the grass whenever Michaela started to cry – Bella has settled in well, mostly ignoring Michaela and taking whatever attention we remember to give her. […]
Michaela has enjoyed several visitors over the past few days! PopPop (Nicole’s dad) flew in for a quick overnight visit on Thursday to enjoy his newest granddaughter. Michaela was sad to see him and Nana, who had been here for over a week, leave on Friday morning. She was cheered up by a visit from […]
Michaela took her first road trip today, across the biiiig Bay Bridge to the eastern shore to visit Nana’s/Nicole’s cousin Terri, her husband Frank, and the 14 VERY cute lab puppies they currently have. Michaela was a great traveler, sleeping the entire ride down and back. Bella settled right back into her first home, although […]
Michaela has enjoyed visits from her Nana, who is staying through next week, and her Aunt Kara, who came for a quick overnight visit just to meet her first niece. Michaela is loving the extra snuggle time from both!
Hard to believe it – Michaela is two weeks old today! Today is also a big day because it’s Brian’s first day back at work. Michaela is waiting for her Nana (Nicole’s mom) to arrive; she’ll be here for a week to visit and help Nicole with her girls. Aunt Kara is coming for a […]
Michaela had her second appointment at the pediatrician yesterday and got another clean bill of health! She cried for a bit when they pricked her heel for a blood sample, but then cheered right up when Brian held her – and when she got a super-cool pink Snoopy bandaid. She was only an ounce away […]
So many firsts this week… first night at home, first time in the bouncy seat, first bath. Brian is completely entranced with his little girl and Nicole is wondering if anyone caught the license plate of the truck that hit her. Everyone is doing well settling into our new reality of dirty diapers and 2 […]
