Big Sister

So, who still remember the above? Well, this Mama is happy to report that, less than 3 weeks after she turned 6 (yet another occasion that this Mama is still yet to report. Huh!),  Kecil had officially become a Big Sister, indeed.

Introducing Upik, Kecil's little sister, who was born in the same month as Kecil, roughly in the same manner (birth stories might be in the making. Maybe), in the same hospital, and in the same hyper-dosage of cuteness as Kecil when she was born.

See what I mean? That's Kecil, 6 years ago at 1 day old. The one above (with the airplane softtoy, aka Sunshine) is Upik. Similar features, similar expression, equally adorable.

Kecil is ecstatic about the whole 'big sister' business, especially when she found out that diaper duty does not fall under big sister's responsibility. Ha! But seriously, she's excited, just as the rest of the family.

There are definitely differences in the whole experience, Oma's absence being one of them, but we are coping well, and Upic proves to be a very good baby so far.

There are still so many stories (oh, the stories!!!!) to tell. We'll just have to see if Mama can use her recuperating time (while waiting for Upik's documents to be done) to catch up. I know the pregnancy had taken its toll on this space, what with the rolling nausea, then the heat.... we'll try to get back on the horse, stats. Still, here's sharing this bit of happy news with you, not to mention no little amount of cuteness. Like these sisters:

Now this Mama needs to catch a much needed shower while Upik is sleeping and Kecil is otherwise occupied. Until then!
