family of four

It's amazing how different being a parent of a newborn is the second time around. We have so much less stress/anxiety over the little things. And yet, so much is the same. We still have no magic solutions when Greta is crying for hours on end. And frustratingly we find ourselves dealing with many of the same breastfeeding issues we had with Soren. For whatever reasons Greta lost almost a pound in the first three days, which was over 10% of her birthweight, so we had multiple visits to the pediatrician for weight checks and help from the lactaction consultant. But it seems that we are getting back on the right track, and so I'm hopeful that we'll be able to make it work this time.

Soren love love loves his baby sister. He's doing so much better than we had even hoped he would. He is so sweet to her!!

I can't tell if the pic with Soren pushing Greta while yielding a baseball bat is sweet or ominous. Still, they are both the cutest siblings ever!
