7 weeks
have passed
since
wee grub
was born.
the other night,
on an
unusual occasion
that
vee let us
have dinner
uninterrupted,
i told grub
it almost felt
like the old days.
sitting quietly
drinking
wine
and talking
about this
and that.
some days
i feel like
i have adjusted
to this new life
but
sometimes
it seems
like i am
home sick
and life will
soon return
to "normal."
i suppose that
i won't really
feel like
i have adjusted
until
i am able
to integrate
my job
into this
new world.
soon
we shall see.
we successfully
took
an all-day trip
to sion-
a town in the
mountains
of the valais
wine region.
on sunday
we went
to a brunch.
slowly
but surely
we are
adapting
to socializing
with a baby.
this week
vee
visited
an osteopath
for the second time.
it was recommended
by our doctor
and midwife
to help vee
deal with
her own
trauma
from the
labor and birth.
to
the casual
observer
it looks
like
the osteopath
just gives her
a massage.
i am not sure that
i believe
it does anything
but
it can't hurt
her.
so we are willing
to give it a try.
vee didn't
care for it
so much
this time
and cried
a lot.
tomorrow
we head to
the immigration
office to get
vee her
swiss permit.
we still
have to jump
through
some
hurdles
to get her
passport.
i just hope
they finally
can get
her last name
spelled correctly.
sigh.
xo
That top photograph is really wonderful. I hope you have smooth sailing with the permit and passport.
ReplyDeleteone thing from the new mom guest post series that we ran on hank & lucy that i remember my friend marie saying was that she kept waiting for life to get back to normal but it never did. instead eventually they found a new normal.
ReplyDelete(i am still waiting for a new normal at 6 months, fyi. i think it is close? i think it would be easier if one of us worked less, but maybe not.)
congratulations, she is lovely.
