Isla Do

A little bundle of joy slipped quietly into our lives on 2/5/2018 at 11:30AM.

Isla Xuan Do.  6lb 2.8 ounces, 18.5 inches long.


We are still amazed how much she looks like her bigger sister, especially when she is sleeping (here is Olivia, one day old)

Isla loves to eat, sleep, poop, in no particular order and sometimes all at the same time.  She was born with long/sharp fingernails that I finally clipped and has an outie belly button which no one else in the family does.  She is so quiet that sometimes we forget she is in the room.  Mostly she is perfect and we devour her sweet newborn smell as much as we can.  S told me the other day to enjoy it because it's the last time we will have a newborn.  So true...

It took awhile for O to warm up to Isla.  In the beginning she seemed happy there is a baby in the room, but really wants nothing to do with her.  Gradually, she begins to show affection.  She likes to tickle the baby and say "hi little cutie".  She also points to my belly and asks me "is there any more babies in there?"  

Mostly, O is unaffected by her little sister, except at night when she wants to sleep with me.  Thank goodness for Nai Nai.  How people manage without extra help, I do not know.
