This is my first rattle about how it is going so far with Anders and Jakob. Hmmmm....where to begin?
Jakob has been a dreamy baby so far. Sleeps well, eats well, has some quiet alert moments, and an occasional really bad bout of gas. He has passed his birth weight of 8 lbs. 11 ounces and this week weighed in at a whooping 9 lbs. 10 ounces. The doctor was pleased to say the least. I of course was bursting with the same dopey pride I had about Anders.
Anders has also been doing remarkably well with the whole transition. He's been idylic with his baby brother, which he now calls "Kubi." He likes to hold him and talk to him - and then he forgets he's around and just gets into his own play mode. He still gets a ton of attention from us, so in some ways I think that eases some of the transtion. However, he did wake up crying last night at 2:30 in the morning, wanting Anna to hold him.
Anna, wow. She is feeling great and has been up and around almost from the getgo. She is doing a fantastic job of taking care of herself and Jakob and Anders.
I however, well, let's just say I feel like a mack truck has rolled over me. I had to go to work this week, and put up and tear down an art show at school, all in a matter of 3 days. I also had to prepare yet more sub plans. My left eye lid is all swollen, my right knee hurts, my left shoulder aches, and there you have it....me in a nut shell. I have had intermittent sleep for weeks now, and I just simply want 8 hours. I did manage to take a nap today thank god.
Okay, there you have it. Life in a nutshell.
