Randoms!
Everyone has been asking how Kira is coping with the new baby. Kira is doing pretty good. She has no jealousy what so ever. She loves Renee and wants to hold her all the time. Kira kisses Renee and tells everyone that she's "cuuuuuuuute." Maybe I'll post a video of Kira saying how "cuuuuuute" Renee is, but it's been up on Facebook already, so maybe I won't.
The only thing that Kira is struggling with right now are all the new rules. "Kira, don't touch that", "Kira, be more gentle", "Kira, don't make noise, Renee is sleeping". Whenever I bark a command at her, she gets frustrated and barks back, literally. Her little outburst seems to communicate, "Why are you always telling me no? I'm embarrassed that I'm getting yelled at, but how am I supposed to know all these rules. I'm just trying to do my thing. It's not fair I'm getting yelled at!"
Other randoms that I need to jot down before I forget:
- Nursing is easier, thanks to having more experience
- Renee grunts a lot
- Renee cries a lot less than Kira did
- Renee's belly button is taking forever to fall off
- We didn't take many pictures of Renee's sponge bath; we don't take as many pictures of Renee as we did with Kira in general
- Delivery was easier with Renee, but recovery has been more difficult than with Kira
- It helped to deliver Renee in the day because our sleep cycle was not (as greatly) affected as with Kira's middle-of-the-night delivery
- Renee eats about every 2 hours; Kira strictly ate every 3 hours...Renee's schedule is not as structured as Kira's was
I know there were a lot more randoms, but Renee is crying so I'll have to finish this post later.
