Margaret (Baby M) had a weight check yesterday. The midwife was concerned that she wasn’t gaining weight fast enough as she only gained 3 oz in 2 weeks. At weigh in yesterday, she was 7 lbs 7 oz. 2 ozs above her birth weight! Yippee! And she gained 10 oz in one week. Piggers.

I, for the record, am back down to pre-Baby M pregnancy weight. Now just to lose that other 20 from the 50 I gained with Karol.

Karol is doing well, he is using more of his sign language and aside from an occasional tantrum is a good helper and a great eater.

We have been teaching Karol a few signs here and there. Mostly signs that I remember or pick up from my sister in law. Karol has just laughed at us when we have signed words to him though. Milk, ha ha ha. Eat, ha ha ha. You get the picture.

Today I fed him his lunch (peanut butter on a tortilla, apples and grapefruit juice) and sat down to nurse M and eat my own nutritious lunch of beef flavoured Ramen.  K came over to me as I started eating and begged for food. I gave him a bite, then quickly ate about 1/2 the bowl, so I would at least get part of my lunch, the kid is a mooch.

After he was done eating his bite, he signed “more”! While I wasn’t too keen on sharing my lunch, how could I deny him?
