A Week in Review

Boy this was a tiring week. Mommy's been fighting a cold, Julia is still a bit sick, and I was on a course all week. My course was downtown (U of T) which created a bit of a logistical problem with daycare. Daycare drop off is 7:30am earliest which didn't give me enough time to get downtown. Lucky for us Grandma was available to drop Julia off in the morning. Mommy would pick Julia up in the evening.
Julia had a follow up doctor's appointment on Monday. Looks like her cough is viral so there is not much that can be done other than rest and time. The cough seems to be getting a bit worse.
On Friday, Julia stayed home with Grandma. In the evening, Papere had to go to the hospital with a fever. It was a looong night for Grandma and Auntie Weezie in the Emergency ward. Papere did get a room on Saturday. He is still there but I hear is is doing better. Hopefully he will be home soon. Get better soon Papere!
On Sunday, Julia and I went to Ron's for dinner and to divide up our Leaf tickets. Cole, Jasmine, and Maddy were there too. Ron make big thick juicy steaks for everyone. Yummy but tough on the weight loss challenge we are having (see here).

Unwanted Guests

A couple of love birds decided that the drain passage on our upper balcony would make a nice nest. These are persistant buggers. I broke up their nest two times on the weekend. Well finally they beat me. They built a nest AND laid an egg while I was at work. So now the big question...Do I let them nurse this egg into a new baby birdie or do I smash the egg and break up the nest? My soft side wants to let them be. My hard side wants to show them who's boss. What do you think I should do? Please comment.

Continued Progress

Emily had a great day. She is now out of the incubator and back into a regular bed. She also nursed twice today! At noon and at 6pm. We tried again at 9pm to see if she can handle back to back feedings but she was too tired. Breast feeding still takes a bit too much out of her. Tomorrow we will continue to try to alternate between nursing and tube. Emily is now off of the antibiotics. There as been no signs of infection. The IV will be coming off soon too. Her weight slightly dropped from yesterday which is not really a concern. Overall she looks much healthier than on Sunday. She is like a different baby. With the progress that she is making, we can anticipate that she will be home very soon.

Meet Emily!

Well the blog now needs a new name. On Halloween night, Julia became a big sister to a tiny little sister. Little Emily came very quickly Halloween night. Sheryl was scheduled to be induced on November 1st but Emily couldn't wait. After mild labour pains during the day, they decided to induce a day earlier since things were already progressing. Once the real contractions started things moved very quickly. It wasn't even 30 minutes from the first serious contractions to the birth. In fact it happens so quick the doctor wasn't even present. Luckily there was a mid wife there so I didn't have to catch Emily myself. Sheryl did great. It was very fast so no time for an epidural. She is making a very speedy recovery. Little Emily is indeed LITTLE! At birth she was 4 lbs and 13 oz. Definitely small for a full term baby (37 weeks 5 days). This was the reason for the scheduled induction. This issue was discovered in an ultrasound on Oct 30. Aside from being tiny,...
