It's been two weeks since Isabel arrived. Yes, that's the name Joy picked for her baby sister.
Joy absolutely adores her sister, always wanting to hug and kiss baby Isabel. 
Isabel - she's relatively easier than Joe and Joy were at this stage. I say relatively. That means it's not entirely easy. But at least she doesn't keep throwing up like Joe did.

The first two nights after I got home from the hospital was tough. One night I fed her non-stop from midnight till 5am! That was on top of 3 rounds of formula (30ml each time)!Thereafter things got better. Some nights she sleeps for at least a 4-hour stretch.
It's also relatively easy because I don't have a c-section or an episiotomy wound to deal with. Having breastfed before, I also don't have to deal with sore nipples and I know how to deal with engorgement.I used to say that I wish I could fast forward the first 6 months. Now I'm starting to enjoy every moment. After all, they do grow way too fast!
Congrats BuffaFly, we are in the mom's club of 3's.
