Anyone reading this knows that Emily did great with the surgery and that Happy is doing quite well. I have been calling her Happy so long that the name has kind of stuck for now. I have no idea where this will take us. Sleepy would be a better for name for her.
And if you happen to have a hobby that is as specific as it bizarre, having conversations with complete strangers about someone else's hair, then Abigail is the perfect chid for you to take out with you in pubic. Or at least to a hospital. Easily over 75% of the people we've run into need less than 10 seconds to mention the quantity of hair this child has.
It is natural to ask about Charlotte. She spent Friday night and much of Saturday with some friends of ours who have two sons that Charlotte loves to play with. Their awesome toy collection is an added incentive.
The first meeting between the two sisters was yesterday afternoon and pretty unremarkable. Charlotte thought every sound Happy made was a laughing sound and kept on saying how Happy was a funny baby. She was also quick to point out that Happy was the same baby that had been in Mommy's belly button. Today Charlotte was a bit more clingy than usual but otherwise was her normal happy self.
However, I am pretty sure we aren't the first people to have a second kid and we won't be the last. There is comfort in that. Charlotte will sort out her place in the world with this new sibling the same way my sisters did and billions of other people did. And Emily and I will adjust just fine to our expanded family, like billions of other parents have.
