Watching Enn go from only child to "big brother". He's embraced his new role, loves being a big boy, and has finally decided to be potty trained. What a relief.
The ease of second-time motherhood. It's been a joy to enjoy these brand new infant days. I have been worried sometimes- about Zee being so skinny at first, about his ears or eyes being different on each side & worried that it might mean he had something else going on... but ultimately, caring for him has been a breeze! That is... until fatigue started really setting in- at almost four weeks... oh... wow... I go to sleep at 11 with Zee, wake up for roughly 40 minute feedings at 1am and 4am, then Enn gets up at 5:30. OH. WOW. God help me! : )
Zee's grunts. Loudly! He doesn't sleep quietly or peacefully- I have had to get used to going into deeper sleep so as to not be kept awake by him. Had to turn off my mommie radar that kept me alert- even in my sleep- to any changes in my baby. Had to trust he is just fine, even though he sounds like an other-worldly bazooka -when he grunts- which is- All The Time.
