I crack up when I think of how I was teaching an English lesson less than 3 hours before her birth. I had no idea!
What a difference the second time around. Léna has already caught up (and then some) on her birthweight. When Estelle was 2 weeks old, we were all completely at the end of our rope and had 2 trips to the hospital under our belt. Every single hour Thomas and I look at each other and say "Thank god it's easier this time".
The weather has been lovely ever since her birth. Sunday we all went to the park and met up with my friend Charlotte who now lives in Rennes.
Here's Léna checking things out:
LONG LEGS just like her sister!
Speaking of Estelle, here are 3 photos of the scrawny thing herself, back in the day...see any resemblances?
This next photo shows Estelle at 5 weeks, when she tipped the scales at barely 7 1/2 pounds. Léna, at 2 weeks, weighed in today at 8 1/2 pounds. What a difference!
This is also Estelle - I remember my Aunt Eleanor seeing this photo and saying to me "Look at those FEET! She'll be tall, mark my words. Just like an Aldrich!" (this is a line of her and my father's family)....
Tomorrow Papy and Manou arrive and Daddy can stop being the house chef - I think he is looking forward to it!
