Fabulous Thursday!

Today was a nice long full day. It started with waking up late because AleVit let us sleep. I rushed to dress and feed MoJo, give M toppings for her crepes in French, lunch for F etc. After organizing laundry and dirty dishes (another leitmotif), I was visited by a very nice woman I used to tutor/friend who brought me breakfast and some lovely gifts (the gift situation is getting out of control here). After chatting with her for a while we set out on a long walk to visit another lovely woman, whose son I tutor. I did not fit in the elevator of her fancy 5th avenue building so I carried a car seat in each hand and went up. She prepared an elaborate and delicious lunch and AleVit slept for the most part. The next part of the day involved our very first 100% positive pediatrician visit! Tía D met us there and helped with the logistics of holding and undressing and dressing two infants. I askedthe doctor to weigh A as well so we could skip next week's visit. Both babies gained weight since Monday (V is up to 7 lbs 6 oz and A to 6lbs 15 oz) and V's belly button is healing (thank goodness, I could not take any more cauterizing). Yahoo! We reversed our long walk to come home and had a productive double nursing session. I pump and bottle feed so much that I wonder if they will lose interest in teta, but thankfully that has not happened. I was stuck on a channel about a woman striving to weigh 1,000 pounds as I double nursed. With no free hands to change the channel, I got a glimpse into the stupidity of day time television and remembered why I never watch it. AleVit hung out awake (rare for V) in their chairs for a while, and now they are sleeping in the crib. Nobody is home yet as MoJo had a special pick up with tía T so I am enjoying the calm before the storm. What a pleasure to get outside and to break the ground hog's day cycle of feeding and changing at home. As you can see, it does not take much to please me. Some air, lots of food (I cannot stop eating!), and four healthy children who eat and sleep!
