Juliet is 2 Months!

I am sitting here thinking to myself "is she really only 2 months old?  I feel like she has been around forever!"

General 
Juliet is doing great. I have no idea how we got so lucky with these two girls, but we hit the baby jackpot I am convinced.  She is a major cuddler and loves nothing more than to snuggle up on top of me and take a good long nap (when I am able to sit down with her in between chasing her sister)  She handles being toted around wherever I take her sister and she spends a lot of time in the carrier. Most of the hair on the top of her head feel out and is now filling in with brown hair.   Her eyes are still newborn grey/blue color.  She looks quite a bit different than her sister...but still very similar.  

Feeding/Sleeping
We usually put her down to sleep at around 9:30 pm and she wakes up at 4 am and occasionally 5 am!  So she gives me a solid 6.5 hour stretch at night most nights.  She has gotten a bit easier at getting back to sleep once she wakes up - I think that it is because her digestive system is maturing and she isn't as gassy.  Although she still has points during the day that she gets really fussy and I think it is still gas/tummy issues.  She isn't a huge fan of hanging out on her own and usually likes to be in the carrier, being carried around or sleeping on my during the day.  About once a day she will take a nap in her swing and that gives me some time to run around and get stuff done!

Juliet is awake a lot more during the day, but still takes some pretty decent sized naps.  She usually falls asleep when we go for car rides and I  hope she does well during the drive down to PA for Thanksgiving! (sweet 6 hour drive with a newborn and a toddler :) )

Breastfeeding is going well.  I haven't really written down when she feeds during the day (with Ellie I kept a detailed log) so I have no clue how often she feeds.  This makes things tricky sometimes because I feel like I offer her my breast constantly thinking she must not have eaten recently.  I find I am a lot less self conscious this time around with nursing in public.  I have nursed her at parks, playgrounds, a restaurant, etc and feel I am pretty good about keeping it casual.  I am not a huge fan of nursing in public, but I don't panic about it like I did with Ellie.  

I have quite a nice frozen milk stash going.  We moved the big freezer to my mom's house and I probably have about 40 pouches of 4 oz milk.  I am hoping this takes some of the pumping pressure off when I go back to work.  I really loved the point with Ellie when I stopped pumping at work but would still nurse her at home because I always hated pumping but loved the closeness of nursing.  


2 Under 2 
Ellie is getting a lot better and being gentle with Juliet.  She loves to bring her things like her pacifier, diapers and toys.  When Juliet does mat time Ellie will bring over a book and "read" to her - it is so cute.  Occasionally Ellie will get mad when I am holding Juliet and she wants to be picked up.  I feel bad when I have to rush Ellie because Juliet is crying.  

Body/Recovery
I think my weight is leveling out slightly under my pre-pregnancy weight.  I started going back to the gym which is nice because it gives me some "me time" and is helping me get back in shape.  I think my cardio is the thing I really need to improve because I think my muscles are in good shape from carrying around Ellie and Juliet and bending down to pick up toys like 200 times a day!
