Differences

There are just so many differences between Joash and Jayna:

1) He is fair and has light-coloured hair while she is tan and has jet black hair.
2) He look mostly like the father while she looks more like me though they both have Daddy's eyebrows and my single eyelids which make them look similar at first glance.
3) He cries during bath-time but is happy once he's out of the water whereas she enjoys being in the bath but cries afterwards (perhaps she hates being naked and chilled)
4) He guzzles down milk as if he has been starving for days but she takes her royal own sweet time to finish hers.
5) He hardly slept and had very short naps as a newborn while she is sleeps like any regular newborns.
6) He pooped very frequently in the past but she passes motion once daily.
7) He loved being in the pram, falling asleep pretty quickly once he was in it while she merely tolerates being put there and makes her unhappiness known once she has had enough of lying down. (This makes bringing her out esp for marketing very difficult)

Not only are there differences between the children, Joshua and I can really feel our age as compared to two years ago. We are not as able to withstand the lack of sleep as much as before. Joshua has many episodes where he is too tired to know what he is doing (and ends up doing really weird and scary stuff) while I'm so low on energy level that I'm too tired to go out to visit my friends unlike during Joash's era.

My health has never been good since young and after going through two difficult pregnancies and meeting the demands of a homemaker for the past two years, I can feel it in my bones that my body has weakened much and has become easily weary. I sure wonder if we can actually handle any more kids... as much as I would love to...

May the Lord continue to strengthen Joshua and I, restoring our bodies to it's prime state over time. Amen.
