Double Happiness

The day is three quarter over; I can’t believe how fast time flies.

Today I registered the births at the French embassy. Both Tristan and Célestine have been officially added to our family booklet!

After that, I took Tristan to the clinic for his jaundice level to be tested. The bad news is that the level had risen to borderline the safety level. The doctor advised that we bring Tristan to the hospital for photo-therapy, just like we did Célestine the day before.

With that, Tristan and I went back home where Yvonne had the good news that Célestine was ready to be taken home. After our lunch, Yvonne, Tristan, and I took off to the hospital. Admitting Tristan was hard for Yvonne again because he likes to be carried and started crying the moment his cloth were taken off and he was put under the UV lights. Because Tristan’s jaundice was not so severe, we expect that he too will be back in a single day.

Célestine is now back home and I’ll have to take her to the clinic tomorrow again to monitor the jaundice level. She looks as adorable as ever, as the picture below testifies

Another great news, Yvonne has just extracted almost 50mL of milk from a single pumping session! I’m not sure how to describe the great feeling it gave her and me. She’s been working so hard: massaging her breast relentlessly, waking up for extraction in the middle of the night. It looks like the hard work is finally paying off! I don’t think anyone but new parents could understand what these 50mL mean. For those of you who do understand, I am attaching a photo below to show off .

My todo list seems to never shrink these days and I have no time to do what I must. We are overdue for our library books, I missed paying the telephone bill, etc. I gotta organize myself better than that
