Week 2 went okay. Uxue sleeps constantly, waking every 3 hours to eat. She only cries a little to say she's hungry or when we change her diapers. She really is an angel! Besides being sleepy and still physically recovering from the birth, the first two weeks were very easy.
Gorka's mother and sister also came to visit, staying for a week.
We got a wonderful visit from Uncle Rob and Auntie Anne all the way from San Diego!
In Belgium, there are 2 public health organizations that handle well child check-ups until the child starts school at 2 1/2 years old. One organization is in French (O.N.E.) and one in Flemish (Kind en Gezin). Because most of the Flemish speaking Belgians also speak English, we are going to Kind en Gezin. The care is mostly done by a nurse, but a doctor sees the children for the major check-ups. The service is also free of charge!
We received our first Kind en Gezin nurse visit. Geraldine is awesome! She weighed Uxue, checked her belly button, and talked to us about vaccines. In one week, Uxue gained 380g (13oz)! I guess she's pretty happy eating so much!
