4 weeks old

I can't believe Adeline is already 4 weeks old. Before I know it, she is going to be sitting up, and rolling over. I enjoy each and every stage, and can't wait until she reaches the next milestone, but am then a little sad when each phase is over as well. She has her 1 month check up on Tuesday so I will let you know all her measurements after the appointment. I am guessing she is going to be 11 pounds already. She is sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at night, and is eating about every 3 hours during the day. I am starting to hear her little voice more and more every day. She got a new play mat for Christmas, and now that she is feeling better, I am going to get it out for her to play on today. She is still a wonderful sleeper. I joked to one of my friends that she sleeps more in one day than Owen slept in an entire week, and that is probably not too far off. She didn't have much hair when she was born, and she is now loosing everything she had on the top of her head. She still has the old man ring of hair around the bottom. Owen did the same thing, and now he has thick hair that grows like crazy. I am ready for her to get some more hair so she can wear some cute hair bows. : )

Both Owen and Adeline seem to be feeling better. Adeline recovered much quicker than Owen, and she was not near as sick. All that breastfeeding paid off! My milk supply has been all over the place during the past week. The two days before Adeline got sick, I was breastfeeding her very frequently to give her all those antibodies my body was making. That increased my milk supply dramatically, just in time for her to be congested and not eating as much. I had to pump a couple of times just to relieve some of the pain from being so full. Since she was not eating as much, my milk supply has decreased. Now the congestion is gone, and wanting her appetite is in full swing again, so she has been nursing frequently because she is not getting enough milk at each feeding. Hopefully everything will even out over then next couple of days. Owen had a fever for a couple days all the way up to 103.4 degrees, but has not had a fever during the last 24 hours. Thankfully, Adeline never developed a fever. Owen still has a nasty cough, and a hoarse voice, but he is definitely feeling better. We have been couped up in the house for the past week while we have been sick, so I am ready to get out, and go....well, just about anywhere! I was starting to think George was going skate through this without getting sick, but this morning he was sounding pretty rough, and I saw him popping a cough drop in his mouth.

I took this picture yesterday during lunch time. I was sitting on the couch feeding Adeline while he was eating. He ate for about 5 minutes, and then I looked over to check on him, and his poor head was nodding up and down. By the time I put Adeline down to go get him out of the high chair, he was sound asleep. This cold is wearing him out!
