the new addition to the family !



Ok so lou lou suggested that i should post pictures and announce my new addition ! Duh I know I should and it's not the time that I lack of it's more that im being lazy .. anyway so here goes ...

Eva Sofia, born June 2nd at 11:39am weighing 7lbs, 2 ounces, 19.7 inches. via planned c-section. everything went 100% better then the last time. And I am so greatful that I decided to go with the planned c-section and not try a VBAC ... geez I know I woul dhave had the same situation had I tried the VBAC so anyway everything went super good .. I was walking the next day and trying to show them that I was all good to go home but they still kept me for the full 4 days ugh ! how exhausting ... I coul dnot wait to get to sleep in my own bed ... it was hell at the hospital ... you learn to appreciate your bed once you sleep 3 nights at the hospital on the plastic mattress ... heh ..

Eva is doing great gaining weight and breastfeeding like a little trooper .. every thing is to perfect she sleeps long hours at night only waking once around 1am ish to eat and then 6 -6:30 am ... and the rest of the day she sleeps and only cries to eat ...

Im loving being a mom for the 2nd time around .. you learn to appreciate those moments where you have a newborn that doesn't move and get into everything and your running around all the time trying to keep them out of all the dangerous places ... anyway I don't know how they did it in the old days with 10 children coz just the 2 that I have I find it hard to manage while im feeding one and need to entertain the other ... the man has been at home but he's heading back early as he has realised he can't really take 11 weeks of Livia saying PARK PARK PARK everyday and crying and having a fit till he takes her .. so he's taking his 5 weeks of paternity leave and then back to work ... I can't really blame him but now that means I don't go back to work until Eva is almost 1 ... that scares me abit coz im totally a career woman ... I love my daughters .. but I remember last time I was anxious to get back to work ... I start feeling bored after abit ... I need that career woman side. Is that wrong ?

Here are pictures of my cutie pie !

  1. Eva is GORGEOUS! Congrats and glad to hear that everything went so well with the delivery. I think your little girls are so cute together... it will be nice for them to have each other as they grow up.

    AND it's totally not wrong to want to go back to work! You need to do things that still make you YOU.

    Enjoy your time off... as I am sure you already know how fast the time does go by!

    Congrats again!

  2. Max,

    Nice idea to write all about your life and keep it in a book for Livia and Eva, I know that they will appreciate this one day! You can never have too many memories...and it's something that they will cherish all their lives.
