Raising his head alreadyJust 3 months and Daen can already do what took Vera 2 and a half years to master.
Having him has given us a whole new experience.
We realise how much strength a normal baby is born with.
Equally amazing is how easily a baby can fall asleep. A short stroll is all it takes. After dealing with Vera's sleep difficulties for so long, it almost seems like magic.
After a feed, we are able to put him down immediately after burping, and get on with other things. We always had to hold Vera upright for up to an hour when she was small, due to her reflux. And then there was always vomit to clear, meds to give, tubes to insert.
I'm not comparing them, but rather comparing the difference in our experience of caring for a special needs baby vs a regular one.

Did you notice that both Vera and Daen have forward swept hair on the sides of their heads? Too cute!

And you with a special needs child, chose to have another kid! Kudos to you! :) God bless!
I love how you keep up with their schedules and the notes. I have nursing now but there is too complicated. I want something simple. If you have time (ha ha!) could you do a post on what each entry of Vera's record stand for. I need to do something like this for Annabel. I seem to not remember did I actually do something or just think I did. Also, many time I can't remember if it happened today or yesterday. That is due to my age or maybe stress.!
Good to hear that you guys are adapting well with your new member in the family.Totally agree with you of the experience of raising a normal child compare to a special need child. Every child is God given and unquie by indivdual. Happy parenting.
