Gramma was here for a few days this past week to help out since DiDi was away. We went for a walk to test out the new stroller again. Adia surprises me every time she actually wants to ride in it. I'm ok with it since it's one less thing I have to worry about. She's strapped in so she can't go anywhere. Leia prefers riding in the Kozy anyway.
Even though Gramma was here for quite awhile, I did have a couple days and nights by myself. Those were interesting. On one of the days I decided to give Leia a bath. I actually wanted to bathe both babies, but Mira was sleeping when Adia wanted to take a bath. I wasn't going to risk waking her so she missed out. She did get a bath the next day when Daddy was here to help.
The most interesting night and day we've had so far was yesterday. The girls slept well, Leia only waking up once to eat between 11:30 and 6. It would have been an even greater night except I woke to the sound of water trickling. It sounded like it was raining inside, which I knew was probably not a good thing. I reluctantly got up, worried I'd wake Leia, only to step into a lake coming out of the bathroom. I laid Leia down, hoping she'd stay asleep, and went to investigate what was leaking. When I lifted the back of the toilet, I was nearly sprayed in the face. The hose that fills the tank had come loose and water was just pouring out. I called Daddy in a panic, but he told me he couldn't leave work and didn't know what to do except call management. I then remembered that DiDi had taught me long ago how to turn off the water to the toilet. I did that and the water stopped immediately. I then attempted to call the manager, but there was no answer so I started cleaning everything up. I'm still very grateful that it was clean water and not the toilet backing up.
Leia had her hip ultrasound on Monday as well. I dropped Adia off at 'Nita's house while I took Leia to her appointment. Adia was super excited about staying there and wasn't too worried when I left. We waited forever to get called back for the ultrasound and by then, Leia was awake and starting to act hungry. I had no idea what to expect. It took two people to do the ultrasound. One held Leia on her side and positioned her hips while the other worked the ultrasound machine. Leia was not a happy camper. She screamed through the whole thing, but it was over really quickly. We won't know any results until Friday, at the earliest.
It was then time to pick Adia back up. Adia was at the park, playing with chalk when I arrived. She was happy to see me, but not eager to leave either. We stayed for a little while and Adia showed me her new toys that 'Nita had bought her to play with. Adia let me know it was time to go home and she feel asleep before we had even left the neighborhood. It was a good thing she napped too because it was a swimming day. I actually had to wake her from her nap so we could leave. She was super happy to see Gramma, Papa and Eck though.
The twins are still too little for swimming, so we put the stroller to good use again. I'm definitely going to get my money's worth out of it. Adia enjoyed swimming, but would periodically come over to kiss her babies. That wouldn't have been a problem if she wasn't soaking wet. Just before it was time to go, she woke them both up and they started screaming. It didn't help that they were hungry and I had only packed one bottle.
After swimming we went to Red Robin. Adia was all about Papa. She had to sit next to him and they played. When it was time to order, Adia even told our server what she wanted.
I was hoping she'd fall asleep on the way home, but she didn't. She fought sleep and was up too early this morning. I was exhausted last night, but luckily Leia slept 11:30-6:45. It was nice to have 7 hours of sleep. I had a dentist appointment this morning and when I tried to leave, Adia begged to come with me. I was hesitant to take her, but I wanted to give her a chance. She was absolutely perfect. She sat in the corner while I got my teeth cleaned. Then even let the hygienist look at her teeth. She got a clean bill of health too! When it was time for my x-rays, Adia sat in a chair in the hallway. I couldn't have asked for a better behaved little girl.
After my appointment, we went home and we all went to the mall. Adia got to play for a bit and then we walked to lunch. Adia was already starting to get tired. We walked back to the mall, Adia had ice cream and then fell asleep in the car on the way home. She was cranky when she woke up a couple hours later and didn't want to go to bed tonight. She was really happy to see DiDi this evening.
Adia was doing really well with potty training the last few days. She had only a couple accidents and pooped in the potty twice. I was so proud of her, but today she forgot all about it. Each time I asked her if she needed to use it, she'd just get mad at me. She even pooped in her diaper this afternoon. Maybe I can get her to wear her big girl underwear tomorrow so she'll use the potty again.

Why did Leia need a hip ultrasound?
She was born breech so there's a possibility there's something wrong with her hips. Her ped thinks she's fine, but they do ultrasounds for all vaginal breech births as a precaution.
