This week was significantly better than last in terms of my mental health. I only cried a handful of times versus last week when the crying was pretty much all the time. We even survived a couple of outings- we had a midwife appt. Ms. Lorelei is up 2 whole pounds from birth. She’s now 10lbs 10 oz! We also went to visit a new chiropractor. Lorelei has been having some tummy issues and our midwife suggested a chiro. Honestly, I was skeptical at first, but in the afternoon after her adjustment, she had 3 huge poopy diapers. She then started sleeping better at night. Instead of waking every hour grunting and having gas pains, she starting sleeping 3-4 hours at a time! Our chiro is my new favorite person in the world! Also, for the record… a newborn adjustment is NOTHING like an adult adjustment. It was more like a little baby massage. And Lorelei acted like she was in heaven the entire time…

Now, if we could only find a cure for her purple crying in the evenings. D:

The rest of the week was spent getting ready for tax day. Now that we have a business, there is so much more that we have to do. After our tax appointment was over, we took the kids out to dinner and to the nickel arcade to celebrate.
