Esther & Adiel’s Blog

Sorry for the long delay, last week was back to work for me, so you can imagine just how exhausting it was for all of us. It’s been a real challenge to spend the night with the baby, and still have energy the next day. My mornings start extra early to make sure to feed and get her ready, and I pump during the day to send to the baby-sitter during the day. I never appreciated mothers so much, so thanks to Mommy Price and Mom Miller and all of the wonderful mother out there. We’re aweseome!! Shaina is now spending her days at Morah Shira, her baby-sitter, who reports she is doing well. Monday was Shaina’s 6 week check-up. She got her shots but didn’t cry for too long, and she reportedly gained a pound since last visit. Not as much as we had hoped but the Dr. is happy with the way she looks.

Tuesday we went to the Yeshiva Primary Reunion. It was in Annie Chen, yummy food. R’ Deutscher spoke well and Adiel and I had a nice time, even though we didn’t know anyone. The seating was seperate but becuase we got there early, we were able to sit together as bookends to each side of the table :). Sometimes it pays to get there early! Shaina was right near us, in the corner and she slept the entire time.

Last week, Shaina’s friend Gavriel Koenig, and his mother, Shoshana came to visit. Even though he’s only 4 months older than her, what a difference that makes! Notices how their seats and bunting are exactly the same, just different colors. Like she usually does when visitors come over, Shaina shluffed through everything, but she was nice enough to let Gavriel use her swing.

This past week Shabbos we went to the Langsners in Brooklyn with Shabsy and Rochie and that was wonderful, we hadn’t been to them in ages! Adina J walked over and we shmoozed for a bunch, great seeing you, Adina!

Shaina’s kiddush is in two weeks, March 15 which is Parshas Zachor. We hope to see all of you here in Far Rockaway then!

Here are a couple of short clips of Shaina and me. I sound ridiculous but Shaina is adorable.
