A whole month has passed since Kate's birth, and surprisingly I've had some time to reflect on how far we've come, thanks to the help of Grandma Cuesta and Grandma Snyder. My mom came in to town for two weeks prior to Kate's birth (we all thought she was going to be born really early). She was a big help playing with Ethan and watching him while I rested or did last minute preparations for the baby. He loved to rough house her, unfortunately, and mom was a big sport in wrestling with him! We're also grateful for her watching him while David and I had a few date nights :)
We're just really glad that Kate came before Grandma left! They had two whole days together...
Grandma Snyder came four days after Kate was born. She did a lot of work watching Ethan for two weeks while I recuperated from the delivery and worked on breastfeeding Kate. She also insisted on doing chores during Ethan's naptime! We are really grateful for her keeping the house in order :)
In fact, she put us all to shame! Despite her age, she can outdo me any day. In addition to the long walks with Ethan in the morning, she would do the regular chores and even some yardwork!
Ethan had a great four weeks with his two grandmas. I'm afraid he's been quite spoiled with all the attention! We can't wait for them to visit us again :)
