After some rest, a bath, a little bit of time under the heat light, and some time to decompress she sure cleans up nice.

Congrats to you and Claire, Magnus. Wow, 3 little girls..............what do the older girls think of their new sister?

**Macman** · 10th August 06, 09:52 AM

Best wishes to you and your family on your new addition, Magnus. She is a sweetie!

Thanks, everyone, for the kind wishes. Everyone is doing well.

Yes, this is three daughters for me. I feel sorry for their future boyfriends.

The four year old is an experienced big sister and she is being very maternal with the new one. She likes to help pick clothes out for her, hold her, rock her, console her when she is fussy, and rub her head while momma is nursing her.

The two year old is struggling with understanding the family relationships and how this changes her standing in the family. She's asking a lot of questions and while she is very curious about her new sister, she is much more cautious about touching her.

Well, you now have the challenge of having a "middle" child.

Having only one child, I don't have any advice on how to deal with that, but I'm sure you'll think of something. Every kid is special in their own way, even the unkilted children. ;) Seems that the trick is to get them to realize that.
