Adjusting to Our Family of Four

It has been almost a month since Olivia has come into our lives. It has been an adjust to say the least. Instead of one child to chase, change diapers, feed, bath. Now we have two beautiful and very different little girls. Emme has been full of personality since birth. Generally very happy always with a smile. So far Olivia is more mild. Her cry is softer and only seems to get upset when Emme steals her binkie and during diaper change.
Emme is slowly adjusting to her sister. She is helpful at moments holding her bottle or getting her binkie when she cries. However she tends to be a bit ruff with her at times and thinks it is a game to steal her binkie or blanket and run.
Slowly we are trying to figure out a routine that works for us. With Matt's work schedule and me still healing it has been slow going. Hopefully soon I will be back to full speed. With Emme it took me almost three months to get to feeling well. It doesn't help that I have to readjust to meds and feeling my PCOS again. (the symptoms mostly go away when pregnant) It isn't much fun. But hopefully soon I will get it where it is under control again.

She loves giving her kisses not sure if Olivia loves it as much

  1. What is PCOS? My arthritis has gone into remission while pregnant and I just keep telling myself it won't come back...surely! This has been a blissful 9 months. I hope you're feeling well. Your kids are beautiful!

  2. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome a great deal of woman have it and don't know it. Your body over produces insulin which messes with your hormones, makes it hard to loose weight, you have issues getting or staying pregnant. A lot of women have stomach pain, migraines, hair growth or hair lose, some get severe depression or anger. It messes with your whole body.
