Welcoming a new addition to our family

As I stay confined this Christmas and New Year, we would like to welcome our 2nd bundle to this world. Hello little boy and welcome to this world.

Kris has been showing mixed feelings for her little brother and me these few days

• When she came to visit me at the hospital, she refuses to greet nor hug me. Frankly, I was slightly upset. After discharge and a few days later, I asked her why she refused to hug me in the hospital? "Because, you are sick and you got a needle poking your hand"
• When she saw me feeding her brother for the first time, she burst out in tears asking her father to feed the baby instead.
• The moment she reaches home from school, she looks for her little brother and shower him with her soft toys butttt taking them back after a few days. 
• Hugging and carrying her little brother became a daily affair (of course with the aid of mama and papa)

As for me, being a second time mama 

• I'm more familiar with the pain and process that comes after labour
• I'm more in charge of what to do during confinement month
• Learning how to juggle between a newborn and at the same time not neglecting the older child
• There is limited "ME" time now with 2 children. After the newborn sleeps, I have to pat the older child to bed and finally myself.
• Learning multi-tasking (I need to grow 6 more arms)

Thankfully, I have my husband around during the past weeks to help me with those small but important task (groceries, taking care of the older child so that I can get my rest and wink, choosing of names, fixing the car seat and running multiple errands).
