The sisters- bonding already. Aili likes to hold her hand while they ride next to each other in their car seats.
Baby Anabelle is now a couple of weeks old and doing great! We are really enjoying having a wee one around again, and Aili seems to really enjoy her (of course, her idea of "helping" often borders on possible bodily harm, so she requires a lot of supervision!) Jeff sadly is back at work now, so we've had a few days of just me and the girls- so far, so good, although I've been a little lazy and not much gets done on my alone days, other than snuggling, feeding, and eating (always can manage to make time for THAT!) The day my mom left was also a hard day- it was great having her around to help and bond with the new baby. I am so glad that she got to watch her be born, unfortunately that didn't work out with Aili, and I didn't think it would with this one either but we got lucky! Thankfully I have been SO much more comfy this time around. Either my laceration wasn't as bad or the repair job was better perhaps, because now I know what a NORMAL recovery feels like! I think the first doc, with Aili, was half asleep when she did my sutures... :-/ This time I had a more elaborate birth plan which specified what type of sutures I wanted, etc. My breasts still kill, but whatev, I'll take it, compared to last time!
On another note, a cold has managed to make it's way into our house...bummer. Nothing like having a two-week-old, a three-year-old with an endless supply of energy, and a nasty cold. Ugh. Luckily my dear hubby has the next 4 days off and hopefully I will be better by the time he goes back to work.
