We are starting to get the hang of this baby lark now, or so it would appear. For one thing, I’m pretty good at changing nappies now. Sarah pours in the milk at one end, Eloïse converts it to mustard-coloured shit, and I collect it at the other end. What a team!
We took Eloïse to an osteopath in Portola Valley today, the same one that Sarah visits. He relieved some pressure in her skull and took the tension out of her limbs. She seems even more chilled out since that visit. Supposedly, this will help her relax and should make for better breastfeeding. We’ll see.
This evening, we found a vase full of pink lilies and tulips on our doorstep. This was accompanied by a note congratulating us on the birth of our new daughter. The package was a gift from my colleagues in Google’s Operations department. How sweet!
Tomorrow, Rosanna is coming over to do Eloïse’s PKU screening. After that, we’ll be paying a visit to Lullaby Lane to pick up a few missing items, such as a breastfeeding pillow and a few more disposable nappies, as she’s still a little too small to wear the cloth ones we have.
Oh, and we have more photos.
