7/30/10 - More Car Work

Today, Christian and Olivia were off to his parents house, bright and early, to finish working on the car. The installed the spark plug kit he bought last week, and now we have our fingers crossed that these fixes will keep her running a little longer! We still have about 2 years left before we pay off Christian's truck, so my little car MUST last until then. Overall, she does pretty well. The car is 11 years old and has 135,000 miles on it, and I really haven't had to do a ton of work on it. So, hopefully she'll keep treating us well for a few more years.

I spent a majority of the day just hanging around the house with little Amelia. She's been doing great. She's a little fussier than Olivia was, I hate those "I don't know why you are crying" moments that happen so often with a newborn! But, she's nursing SO WELL, which I'm so happy about. Olivia never got the hang of nursing, and with recovering from surgery, I just did not have the patience to work with her and the lactation consultants on fixing the issues. I'm really hoping Amelia keeps this up and it isn't just a fluke! Formula is EXPENSIVE!!

Amelia's little belly button stub fell off already (which kind of worries me...), so tonight we gave her her very first bath. Luckily, just like Olivia, she LOVES the water, she was in heaven! YAY for water babies!
