M'hijo Twizzleton-Fyfe, who looks exactly like his sister did at one week, except for his dark hair, eyes, and skin (she is fair with blonde hair and blue eyes)
Today I begin my new life.
I guess you could say the new thing really began a week ago, on December 27, when the newest Twizzleton-Fyfe, codename M'hijo, entered the world (7:50 pm, 12 hours, 35 minutes of labour, 8 pounds, 9 ounces, a boy) but I am counting from today because we've been on vacation all week. Tobias has been doing all the housework and Sahsez has been off school. So it wasn't normal life. Today, I begin being responsible for not just the baby, but the house, the yard, Sahsez, and the meals.
So far, it's been easy, mostly because I am not really jumping into the housework with both feet. More like testing the waters with one toe. I folded some laundry! I got Sahsez dressed and made her lunch and got her to school before the early bell! I washed some cups! I only watched The Young and the Restless because the baby was nursing anyway so it's not like I could have done anything productive during that time anyway! I chatted with the midwife! I fed the cat! I think that is an admirable start.
And now I will take a nap.
My reward for all the grueling housework is this great view while I'm walking around the neighbourhood
