somehow, it's been nearly impossible to get both girls smiling together. this is as close as it gets.
after being more than 7 months behind on posting photos, we are finally up to date. woo hoo. go here to check out all the pics.
bryn had her 1 month check up today and is 8lb 5oz. nursing is going well and is pretty much on-demand. luckily, i've figured out how to nurse in the baby bjorn. although it looks a little odd, it has been a lifesaver. the doctor today said i'd be kidding myself if i thought i'd be able to get her on any sort of schedule anyways. thanks doc! ;-)
grandma carol just left on sunday, which means we're now flying solo as a family of 4 (sans grandparents). *sigh* *gasp*
yesterday was a nice president's day break. matt took both girls in the morning (thanks daddy!) and i took them in the afternoon.
today matt is back at work, and now... the act of being a juggling parent begins.
woo hoo!!!
with her new bff duke. :-)
watching bryn grunt post nursing brings back memories of a very grunty bailey.
bryn lam lillvis was born this past tuesday, january 24, 2012 at st. luke's roosevelt hospital. weighing in at 5 lb 15oz and measuring 19.5", she's a very happy, healthy baby. so far she has proven to be quite a bit more chill than her big sister bailey. she doesn't protest too much and is content sleeping through any symphony of sounds. she's also proven to be a champion nurser. just like bailey, she had a bout of jaundice but appears to be on the mend.
grandma merry and paw paw came into town on monday to take care of big sister bailey and have been working overtime as grandparents.
big sister bailey has been doing a great job so far being gentle and loving with her little sister. hopefully we can keep up the love and limit the tantrums.
my c-section recovery has been so much better than the last time around. i was able to walk the day after my surgery. no more hardcore pain meds for me. just taking advantage of all the great help.
we are truly blessed and thankful to have this new addition to the family.
bailey's 2's teacher, valentina, just sent through some pics from her class. you can download it here. enjoy!
