LIFE WITH LEO

Its been over 2 weeks since Leo entered the world. In those 2 weeks he has done the following:
1. Brit milah ( We took no photos at this ceremony)
2. Sponge bath (until the umbilical cord falls out)
3. Pediatrician visit (Leo received HIGH MARKS!!!)
4. Had photos taken at the American institution "Babies R Us" (Leo slept through his first professional photo shoot but clearly does not buy into the American consumerism as he was very upset when he woke up and realized where he was)
5. Taken longs walks in his stroller (before the temperature reaches 100 F and higher)

We hired post partum doulas Jeanette who comes 3 time a week and Katie comes the other two days. The word "doula" is derived from Greek and literally means "woman servant." A post partum doula mothers the mother. I have found I needed this support especially after a C-section. I have slowed down considerably, no more doing 2 or more activities at once. Jeanette has been advising me on breastfeeding and lactation.

Maximo has returned to the "real world" aka his job. He has been communicating with his father in Argentina via a Nextel radio phone. Abuelo Andres is very proud and we hope to go down to Argentina before Leo's first birthday.
