Happy Easter

I have an confession to make- I allowed Logan to have Nerds for breakfast this morning. He did have a half of a banana and whole wheat bagel during brunch so do not call the police on us just yet.

Paige's first holiday was tasteful yet simple. Brunch with the Messinas then late lunch / dinner with the Cerasales. Both affairs had their own Easter egg hunt so Logan has enough candy to last him until the end of May.

Happy One Week Birthday Paige

What a week!

Bertha

Paige had her first physical with our doctor on Friday. She left the hospital on Thursday weighing 7lbs. 5oz (five ounces less than her birth weight). By Friday morning she weighed 7lbs. 8 oz. Yup- she gained 3 ounces in a day. She is sucking back those bottles (she is already taking 4 ounces a feeding, and eating almost every 3-4 hours). Our pedie was very impress with how calm she is AND how strong. I told him she is a brute. Really- we should have named her Bertha!

Logan LOVES his little sister- he is very attentive to her, especially when she is in her swing (which, like Logan, she loves). Every time the music stops, Logan goes and turns it back on for her. Logan also loves the big brother gifts our friends and family are bringing him. Thanks to everyone for including Logan. It is helping ease the blow for him and making him realize that having a little sis isn't all that bad.

So far we are keeping everything low key. Matt is off for April vacation so he and Logan will be home again this week. This weekend- the Nannys and the Yia Yia came for a visit. Paige got to meet one of her great grandmothers- Great Nanny (Matt's grandmother) AKA "Other Nanny" (that is what Logan calls her as well as Matt's Aunt Mary, Deb (a family friend), and of course Nanny (Matt's mom). Yia Yia (my mom) and Auntie D also came by for a visit on Saturday night. Three cheers for family for bringing some desperately needed snack food into this house (we were grasping at straws). Cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory and nachos. Yum.

Family of Five

Today was our first day home with Paige. Honestly- it was not as hard as I thought it would be. Beverly Hospital was pretty quick with getting us out (I don't blame them, Paige and I DID get to stay an extra day and with all the April babies coming, I think they needed the room). Currently, the Cupcake is weighing in at 7lbs. 5 oz- only losing 5 oz from her original birth weight. Eat on Paige.

Paige made her first public appearance wearing the pink and black pokadot outfit Nanny bought for her way back in November (when we first found out Baby ZXY was a she). Topped off with the purple flowered beanie Mommy got for her off of Etsy.

Logan was very excited that Paige was coming home today (and Mommy). He has been a wonderful help. He made lunch with Matt and even set the table for lunch and dinner. Nap time for him was a little trying... However Paige kicked butt sleeping a stretch of three hours (in her bassinet). Logan redeem himself by helping me walk a neglected Otto. I have to say, Otto has been a good boy. He seems to like Paige- he didn't want to leave her side when we just put her down to sleep.
