One Month: Jo-Jo
Baby Jo-Jo is now one month old and we just moved her out of our room to sleep in her own room. I gave in and put her into a swing to sleep and have gotten at the most 6 hours of sleep. I didn’t want to have to use the swing, but I think a well rested momma and baby is worth it.
Jo-Jo now weighs in at around 8 pounds. I haven’t measured her yet but she’ll get measured and weighed by the doctor at her two month checkup. We’re teaching Jo-Jo early to “cry it out” because we definitely can’t carry her around all day with Izzy running around. I’d say Jo-Jo is learning and her cry time is getting shorter and shorter.
I’m learning how to handle two kiddos on my own and am managing fairly well, that is as long as we’re not running errands and both kids are happy and not crying. Izzy is back at her weekly music class and is attending “summer school” this month on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
I started up a fitness routine again, although sometimes I find it hard to fit in a workout during the day or even sit down to have a healthy meal. However I am determined to drop the baby weight sooner rather than later!
Here are some pictures of the kiddos:

You’re adjusting very well, Maisie. I’m
proud of you. Your children are beautiful and so well loved. It will all pay off. Keeping Izzy in her routine with music, etc. is good. She
won’t feel left out. Take care of your kiddies and yourself. Hugs and kisses from Grandma Glady.
Cute stuff! You are one determined mama, trying to lose the weight already! Good for you. I will need some tips on that when the time comes :)
