Mike and I have been surprised at how much easier it seems to be this time, even though there are two boys, it's not nearly as hard as we thought it would be. I don't know if Eli is just a better baby, or we know what we are doing this time, or the fact that I feel so much better than I did after having Rowan. Rowan has been a little crazy lately, but he is great with Eli, he went back to daycare today so hopefully whne he gets back into his normal routine he will calm down a bit!
Last week Eli had his first check-up. He checked out perfect! He had lost a lot and had a little dehydration so we had to go into the breastfeeding clinic the day before, but my milk came in and he is eating great now (and constantly!). He was 7lbs 12oz at the Dr. appointment, up 2oz from the day before at the clinic. We had to take Rowan to the appt. since his daycare was closed. We were already to leave, Eli in the seat and walking out the door of the exam room, when Rowan goes running back into the room, trips over his feet and falls hitting his head on the top of the plastic trashcan. He's screaming, Mike picks him up and blood is gushing from his forehead. He had a pretty big gash right above his eyebrow. Luckily we were at the Dr.'s. She was able to close it with Dermabond, rather than stitches, but I think it will take a while to heal. Until then Rowan has a big bandage on his head, but it does keep him from messing with it. i was quite freaked out, and realized I don't handle situations like that very well, at least not when there is blood gushing from my baby's head! 
Eli is a pretty good sleeper, and falls right back to sleep after nusing at night. I'm still pretty tired so usually take a nap during the day with him, but I still feel really good most of the time. I am going to assume that I feel so good because I didn't end up with drugs or an episiotomy, since after Rowan's birth it was weeks before I did anything, or felt somewhat normal at all. I feel like we should get out so I can show off Eli, I would love to take Rowan to see his friends (who he hasn't seen in months), but I don't think I am quite ready to venture out with both of them alone! Someday!
