11 weeks

I can't help but to notice that while my darling wife's blog is full of Elisha's birth story and how she's surviving the postpartum period, my blog is rather anaemic on this aspect. 

Well.

For all that you can refer to her blog. For how a dad who works part-time cope with 2 under 2 at home, read on.

It's tough.

There you go, all summarised in one word. 

I don't know. As I said to my best friend, parenting a baby and a toddler is really a tough gig. Sure, I love them to bits, I want to spend my every single living moment with them. 

And that is, exhausting.

I know I better start to enjoy the journey, as it's a journey that will go on, and on, and on. 

Not having family around would be really hard, yet having them around pose some quite unique challenges as well.

Life is never perfect. Well, nothing is. 

Having said all that, I'm forever grateful for what I have. Just look at how cute Jonathan and Elisha are in the photo!

2 under 2

Baby Elisha turned 2 months this week. We had a mini photoshoot at home last week and it turned out to be quite a nice experience with some nice photos. I have to admit we took heaps more photos of Baby Jonathan in the first few months after he was born.. The reality is I was less busy with work then, and also there was only ONE baby to look after. Now... with J approaching 21 months.. he's a really busy boy. Add to the fact that his molars are coming out....

I'm very hopeful that things will improve.. J just loves E and hopefully E will reciprocate that when she's a bit older. They'll play together, entertain each other, keep an eye out for one another.. 

One of the more important realisation I have after being a parent is the fact that   ... your time is not really YOUR time anymore. 

I do regret how I didn't maximise the use of MY time before they were born....!
