End of week #2

So tomorrow at 10:01am Lynsey will officially be two weeks old - and I'm still alive and reasonably sane! Since my last post, we've had good days and bad days. She had her first bath at home last Friday - she really liked it! She was so cute - she was pretty sleepy when we put her in the water, but it was clear after Brian squeezed water over her head a few times that she was quite comfortable in the water:).












The last few days have been a bit rough. Wednesday was rough for three reasons: #1: Brian's first day back at work #2: I had several flu symptoms (not sure if it was actually the flu or just a fever) and #3: Lynsey had her first really fussy period that lasted longer than just a few minutes. It was a bad morning, but I think it's because I was sick and making her sick right along with me. I don't know for sure that she wasn't feeling well, but it's the only explanation I had for her crying in the morning. She slept most of the afternoon and evening (must have been worn out) and Thursday was much better. I wasn't really feeling well Thursday again - I'm kind of choked because I never get sick and this is the first year I got the flu shot . . . is it a coincidence?? I tried to decline the shot but my doctor insisted I get it because I was pregnant. A lot of good it did me! I'm no conspiracy theorist, but it's a bit suspicious that someone that never gets sick gets sick after this "vaccination". Anyway, it seems as though I've gotten over it now so I'm doing much better. She normally sleeps quite well at night, although last night when she woke up to eat I had a really hard time getting her back to sleep - she was awake for like two hours and very fidgety and fussy. I suppose I've been spoiled by her good behaviour the first week and now she's just being a normal baby! She really likes the car and going for walks, so I'm really hoping for a lot of chinooks this winter so I can take her out in the stroller lots. Anyway, I'm glad it's the weekend so Brian will be around to help me again - I really missed him the last few days! He actually worked from home today, but since he was working I was trying really hard not to distract him. Tomorrow he's fair game! I've attached some pictures we've taken over the last week.













As you can see, Brian is already trying to turn our little girl into a computer nerd:).

I feel I must defend the flu shot. It is not a live vaccine so you cannot get sick from it. It also doesn't cover any type of stomach flu. Lynsey is getting cuter every day!
