My two rascals - indeed

Renee has been such a wonderful big sister. I try not to make her feel left out when all the visitors come and go. I carry her when she asks for it. Thankfully, I feel ok enough to spare her the time, energy and attention that she needs in this time of adjustment.

She wants to carry her little brother but doesn't know her own strength. That can be scary as Russell's still very fragile. She will grab his stomach and pull him towards herself. Oh boy oh boy.......When she first saw her brother, he was all bundled up and she kept asking where were his "hands, hands"? She will pry open the blanket and pull out his mittens and laugh histerically when she sees his "chicken hands"! Ha ha, such a wonderful moment. She will also pull his thighs and grab his "feet feet". Hee hee!

Russell's got a good appetite, he woke up 5 times last night, but less often this afternoon. Luckily, everyone was out of the house so I got some really good shuteye. Feeling refreshed to welcome my daughter home this evening. She went out shopping for groceries with my in-laws while Eugene went to finish some of my work which I didn't manage to complete before going on maternity leave.

Here's a picture I took of Russell's scrawny chicken hands. With his appetite, let's take another one in a week's time...I had to record this down because Renee ballooned really quickly overnight and we didn't reallykeep track of it.
