Catching up

I hate falling behind on blogging, but I have literally had NO time to sit down and type these last few days. Since my mom went back to work, my mornings seem chaotic! I'm also trying to do Baby & Me again with Leni on Tuesdays and Toddler Time with Gemma on Mondays, we start Rhythm and Rhyme with Gemma today, and I have Physiofit for myself on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, etc. I'm so busy!!

Gemma spent the last few days displaying symptoms of her 2-year-old molars coming in - rosy cheeks, extreme crankiness, messed up sleep/nap, and NOT EATING (which is so crazy to see in her). She seems to be in better spirits today though, thank goodness.

Leni is about the same as before. I have to say, she is way behind where Gemma was at this age. Around now, Gemma rolled over front to back and Leni is nowhere near that point. I'm still trying to figure out a routine for this baby, who still won't have solid naps. She takes a soother about 80% of the time and sometimes she sleeps just fine without it. At night, she does anywhere between 6 and 8 hours before she has to eat, but more often 6.

Gemma is starting to take a real interest in Leni though and Leni just loves to watch Gemma. Gemma will often ask that I put Leni across her lap (on a flat pillow) and she likes to hold her hand and stroke her hair. I think Gemma is going to be a very loving older sister. 

I've started Physiofit class, which is a "workout" of sorts taught by a physiotherapist on strengthening the deep core muscles and helping postpartum women get their pelvic floor strength back. To the onlooker, it must look ridiculous because it looks like we're just lying on the floor, but MAN oh man, I get my butt kicked each class. And only after three classes, I've noticed dramatic results in my diastasis and in my pelvic floor strength. I have another seven classes to go and I'm really excited to see the results at the end of it all.
