Lydia has been doing okay adjusting to her little sister; after all, it can't be easy sharing the only world that you've ever known. Her sleep times are shorter by about an hour and she cries quite a bit now, but she has improved since the first few days since we brought Sophie home. Overall though, Lydia seems to like Sophie (at least poking at her eyes) and wants to go to her when she (Sophie) cries. Wednesday will be the real test when Trung ends his two week paternity leave and starts working again; he has been so helpful dealing with one child while I deal with the other.
Sophie, on the other hand, has been doing beautifully; she's already got her days and nights figured out. During the day, she eats every two to three hours or cluster feeds twice in an hour and then sleeps for about three hours at a time. At night, Sophie goes to sleep around 11 PM, eats every three hours, and usually goes right back to sleep. Trung and I try not to pick her up and hold her too much, which she does perfectly fine, though she does like an occasional hold to help her fall asleep. It is quite interesting how different each child is even as infants; we're looking forward to seeing what kind of personality Sophie will have.
