first of all, i am sorry i am completely out of the loop, and probably will not have time to read my friends page for... well, a while. but i love you all and i wish i knew how everyone was doing.
secondly, i am currently writing about the birth experience. the whole process was so amazingly indescribable, it will take me a few days to do it, and will be LONGGGGG. and i think you will read it, because it is SO unbelievable. and parts of it are pretty hilarious. i don't ever want to forget a single detail.
being a new parent is as insane as they say it is. go figure, haha. i am already doing 4000 things at once... shower and now hospital thank you cards... making post-birth appointments... taxes (yes still, good lord)... constant organizing... HEALING, my oh-so-sore body (STICHES--UGH... details to follow in the memoirs haha), which makes it all so much more difficult... oh, and all that baby stuff ;P feeding, changing, walking, napping, burping, rocking... oh, and working my way through my 82 emails :O i'm down to 64 new now lol
and remember that planning to phone/email out the news of the arrival? in four full days, no time or energy. that's how crazy it has been. we did our best, but i'll make up for it slowly as i organize :)
i cannot describe the love. i just... can't. it takes you over. love is always wonderful, but this... this is a new level. this is perfect.
so slowly, i will get all my thoughts out. and there are bajillions of pictures already on bajillions of cameras. but facebook even is currently being a bum about some of them showing up, so blah to that.
but not blah to this...
just born
march 13, finally out of nursery and in mom's arms
march 14, momma's hospital bed = change table
march 15, GOING HOME!! gramma jan gave her the nuk. she is SUCH a good sucker when she eats, i'm lucky she can munch a nuk occasionally. so far not required though.
see! yum.
first snooze in her crib
i think i have a few moments to do thank you notes before she wakes again...
