Eleanor Two Week Well Baby Check

So this is Mrs. House Spouse posting for Rusty. I just wanted to put a couple of pictures up as well as let the world know about her first well baby check. She weighed 8 lbs 14 oz (up from 8 lbs at birth) and measured at 21 3/4 inches (up from 21 inches at birth).

I know the ever important question that is on everyone's mind: is she sleeping at night? She allows me to sleep about 3 hours continually at night and the doctor said today that based off her weight gain, I can allow her to decide when she wants to eat at night. I am excited about this news! We will see how that works out for us.

Also, I just wanted to share a copy of stories from Eleanor's birth, that Rusty has yet to post. When the boys came to visit Eleanor at the hospital after she was born, the first thing Andy asked was, "Mommy, do you have any more baby's in your belly?" I thought that was sweet of him to ask.

But there is nothing like facing the truth. When we came home from the hospital, the first thing Samuel said was, "Mommy, why is your belly still so big?" To which my reply was, "Mommy ate too much while she was pregnant and got fat." So now when I tell Samuel he doesn't need to eat so much, he replies with, "So I won't get fat like you?" I guess you have to be careful what you tell your children, you never know when they will repeat what you say.
