We survived the first 3 weeks

So okay, at first I was thinking, how are we gonna handle 3 little girls below the age of 5, one being a newborn? Now, after 3 weeks, I'm glad to say that we have settled down into somewhat of a routine, and guess what, the house has not collapsed around us either ;)

Helene had an episode of jaundice not long after being discharged from the hospital, so into the hospital we went again, for her to have her "special sunbath" aka phototherapy treatment. The first day was not so good as she screamed blue murder *no pun intended* everytime they put her under the light. So we had to stay another day and only on the 2nd day, she somewhat calmed down enough for the treatment to take effect.

I am very glad that Hubby is such a great help, as well as MIL. So our weekday routine is as such, Hubby goes to work in the morning and drops Hannah off at school. Heidi stays at home with me and MIL comes by around 9 am to help to bathe Heidi and Helene as well as to cook for me. She leaves around 12 plus to fetch Hannah from school and brings both Hannah and Heidi back to her place so that I can get some rest in the afternoon. She cooks dinner for me at her place, and after work, Hubby goes to fetch the girls home and brings back my dinner. So far so good ;) On weekends, we are all home together. Hubby cooks for me so that his mum doesn't need to come up and down and also bathes all the kids and keeps them occupied. Sometimes he will bring Hannah and Heidi out so I can get some rest. Indeed he is super-hubby and super-daddy to all of us :)

Helene has some interesting expressions, even from when she was just a few days old until now.

Her Jie-jies are very loving towards her (for now, that is :p) and keep wanting to kiss her and carry her.

Now that she is 3 weeks old, here are some recent photos of her:

Will blog more soon.
