A sad day

Day 11 - She already brightens others' lives.


Over the weekend, we attended our friend's grandmother's wake. My parents watched our toddler son (to avoid any bad dreams or life questions so early on) while we brought our week & a half old daughter along. Our friends (who flew in for the wake & funeral) mentioned how meeting our newborn daughter really brightened their day. It meant a lot to us to show our support since we've known them since high school.


Things are going well. I'm slowly adjusting to handling a toddler & newborn with help from family. Yesterday evening she started to feed every 1.5 hours until late this morning. At one point, I had nothing left & she was still hungry! This must be the two-week growth spurt a few days early!!! I'm surprised she hasn't grown a foot with all the milk she had yesterday & this morning!


My hubby's mom is helping me this week keeping my son occupied. Yesterday & today she took him to the park where he played castle with some older kids. His imagine is growing by leaps & bounds every day! He's also sleeping through the night when our daughter cries now. That helps a lot!
