My chain mail album (no, not those annoying letters) and life update

[Xynyth]

Hi everyone, I know it's been a while so I thought I'd give you an update.

First off Lucy will be 6 weeks old tomorrow and she's just too darn cute. She much more petite than Xylia ever was and is actually still in newborn sizes. My first born was out of them by 3 weeks or so. She developed a red birth mark that I think is called a strawberry something or other lol. Lucy is such a good baby even with the colic she gets every afternoon.

Xylia is regressing her potty training a bit in that she hasn't been telling me when she has to pee when we're out and has purposely been peeing in her bed when she gets punished :(

Other than that she's adjusting well and seems at least to love her sister. I try to include her in the day to day things with Lucy but she doesn't really seem to care much about that as long as she can sing to her, play with her piggies (toes) and give her kisses lol.

I'm doing well. Tired, but well. I'm starting to get the hang of going out with 2 kids an just ordered a sit and stand stroller to make my life a little simpler. I go for my 6 week PP appointment on Thursday and I don't know if I'm going to get birth control or not. I want the copper IUD but just found out I have a terrible skin reaction and super corrode copper on my skin and IDK if that has any bearing on an IUD or not.

Hubby is doing well and is really enjoying being out of school for the summer. Fall is going to be rough once he goes back again. Poor boy hardly gets any sleep as it is.

And finally I have been doing a few things with my chainmail but rather than post them here I'll just link you to my photo album if you're interested. I got a gift certificate from my mother in law for my birthday and I bought a bunch of stuff do experiment with including scale mail! Very cool.

And last I'll leave you with a pic of the girls from last week. That's the update! Sorry I've been so silent but hey, I'm just barely starting to ge out of brand new baby fog :)

Oh!!!   They are sooo cute!       I love the 'chain' pics too, a friend in NC does actual clothing mail, a lot of hard work....but he's made some really nice peices too.   I sent you a friend invite on facebook, nice to find a CM friend there too.
