First Day @ Home

We got a nice quiet day at home, Cezanne went off to school and while we were a little tired, the first night at home was not too bad.

Etienne is settling in nicely but later in the day when we looked at photos we started to wonder about his yellow coloring especially when we did the side by side comparison with Cezanne… We decided to call the doctor first thing Saturday and ask about it…

Here is a photo wall for those who want a bit more Etienne is you day !

Siblings - do they look alike ?

Being “normal” parents we just had to start comparing the new guy to the old girl…

We found that from our friends that just could not get enough from one child and ended up with (at least) one more, about half ended up producing a carbon copy ( at least initially ) while the other half got a completely different specimen the second time around… We had been wondering what pool we would end up in and so eager as we are about such things we had to do a “side-by-side”

Here are photos of both at about the same age ( 4 - 5 days old ).

Decide for yourself - do they look like one another or not ?

Etienne is at the top and Cezanne is at the bottom, for those of you who could not tell…

Going Home

By 8am on Thursday, Lanelle was ready to come home and by 10:30am both Mommy & Baby were able to leave, but of course Cezanne ( the big sister ) had gymnastics so they had to wait a little bit. Finally after gymnastics and being dropped off at aunty Daleen’s house for playgroup, Dad was able to come and fetch the boy and his mother.

Lanelle and I shared a sandwich and packed up all the gear before heading out. It took so long that we decided to just head over to Daleen and fetch Cezanne.
