We're two weeks in and doing well. Sorin has been a very good big brother, very sweet and kind. He pats Norah's head whenever he passes her, or puts his head on her for a 'hug.'

I did not expect to feel sad about that but I really can't give Sorin the attention that I have with having to give Norah so much care. I have had to try very hard not to feel bad about that. I am continuing to accept that this is natural and I will grow into this role of mother of two. There is an underlying sadness though. It does not help things that I can't lift him up (because of having had a c-section) but that, as well, will soon change. Change is hard, but good. And here is a glimpse of the overarching good:
