Emilie is 5 days old today and we are trying to relax and enjoy being together. It has been pure bliss to have Steve home all hours of the day for this week, and I wish it could last forever.
But fortunately for us, Steve's mom is coming on Friday for a couple of days and then my parents for a week after that, so Maddie is very excited to have the extra attention.
So far (although I know it will change), the night feedings have not been so bad- I was reminded by my favorite book about baby sleeping (The No Cry Sleep Solution) that these moments will pass by too fast, and although it is tiring, if you try to enjoy the moments and make the most out of it, your baby will soon be sleeping by their own, and you'll miss holding them in your arms at night. So that's my goal :)
Yesterday we met one of our neighbors who just so happens to have a daughter around Maddie's age who speaks Mandarin. Although they couldn't really talk to eachother, they got along really well and played outside for quite a while. They both somehow started "talking" about Thomas the Train (yes, he crosses all nationalities and languages) and they were best friends.
