It has been almost 8 weeks now and they have been the longest 8 weeks ever. I go through phases of time going by fast and going by slow...it's hard to tell sometimes. I think just because I am so looking forward to the day Zia and Zoe can actually play together. It's tough for me right now because I can't help but feel that Zia has been put on the side lines because I am having to take so much care of Zoe right now. I think Zia is handling it better than I am. She will just go play by herself, but then I watch her and she looks so little and lonely. I just keep telling myself it won't be like this forever. Everything will just continue to get better. Zoe is proving to be just like her sister and is such a good baby. The only issue has been her poor little tummy. She is such a hungry baby all the time, but then seems to have a hard time holding all of that food. She doesn't spit up often, just gassy. She has started, if we feed her after 10 pm, sleeping for about 5-6 hours...Thank the Lord for that one, but if we feed her any earlier she wakes up 3-4 hours later. Babies are so weird. It's hard for me at times having two because I don't handle stress very well, but in the long run it is going to be so worth it. Especially for Zia. She has so much love wrapped in that little body she is going to enjoy caring for a little sister. Zia's big thing right now is Zoe HAS to have her passy. If Zoe is upset, she must need it right now and heaven forbid anyone besides Zia try to give it to her. It's funny.
It seems like every time I have a baby (like I have had a lot :) I start hearing all of these horrible stories about people hurting their (or even others) babies and I just look at our little girls and thank God so much that they are with us and they don't ever have to go through anything like that.

I wonder if our child will have siblings and how he or she will interact with them. I pray and hope for children with tender spirits like Zia and Zoe. I see so much light and wonder in Zia. She truly is an inspiration to me. I love her delightful nature! She's continuing to show her lovliness by allowing you the time to be with Zoe and not allowing a temperment of jealousy to overcome her. It's awesome. It's good that you still strive to make her feel included and allowing her the privilege of giving Zoe her pacifier lets her participate and feel included. I love that. As long as you always encourage the helpful nature she bestows, you will be blessed and so will she. You are a wonderful mother. Your daughters will be strong women of the Lord because of you.
