I haven't been keeping up on the baby diary like I wanted and I missed a few days in all the sickness and in-laws coming. I take photos every day though. It's just uploading and posting that I find time consuming. The photo part is easy!
Her bib says "Te amo abuelito," a souvenir from her birth country.
With Little S gone off to the grandparents it's just us here and the house feels strange and empty. A four year old in case you don't know is very noisy and makes their presence known. The weirdest thing was lunch as today we sat down at a very quiet table, just the two of us and had our rice and veggies (I love rice and veggies) in such calm. That was when we really felt the silence. It just wasn't normal. Little S is always so animated at lunch time. He can't sit still and he always throws food in his sister's hair as soon as I turn my back. There's lots of life!
Both Seb and I laughed last night at how we were so dramatic about our first baby. Our lives felt so disrupted. We were constantly over thinking everything. It took planning to get through each stage, baths, diapers teething. We now know that nothing could be easier than a one year old. We sat there with her asleep in bed and reminisced about how we felt like we never had any time together with one baby. Last night we could actually take ten minutes together! One measly baby? What could be easier.

Thanks for this. I needed to read it. I have about one month left of having just one three-and-a-half-year-old and it feels like utter freedom compared to his first year. (And he was a good baby)
I hope it's less of an adjustment the second time around.
The things you can do when you have two....amazing. I could put any executive secretary on the planet to shame with my multi-tasking skills. It's sort of like you get an automatic second-baby update to your brain after you give birth!
