Julia and Emily's World

Emily is now 10 lbs 4 oz. She has more than doubled her birth weight of 4 lbs 13 oz. She got her VCUG done this week. The results were negative (no backflow of urine from her bladder to her ureters). She'll be going for another ultrasound on her kidney later this month. The good news is that her colic behaviour seems to be subsiding over the past week. She has more good nights than bad nights. Her sleep times are getting better too. She will fall asleep now at around 1am and sleep until around 6am, get up and feed and go back to sleep for a couple more hours. She still has most of her hair! It's thinning out a bit but getting longer. It attracts a lot of attention when she's out and about.

Today Julia went skating for the first time. We were at Grandma's and we went to the Scarborough Civic Centre with her cousins. She did good for her first time and wants to go again. I found it tough holding her up. My back and feet were killing me and we were only there for about 30 minutes. Last night Emily had a really good night. She didn't cry and slept most of the night. Julia slept at Grandma's house so we really got a good nights sleep. We slept in until 10:30am! Nice!

Julia likes to feed her baby too!

Happy New Year! On New Year's Day we went to Mama's like we usually do. I love the food. Julia and Sheryl...not so much. Emily got to meet all her extended cousins, Aunts and Uncles and of course Mama, her Great Grandmother. Emily is Mama's 8th Great Grandchild.
