6 weeks today
when i realized it'd be almost 13 weeks since i posted - math made easy to do thanks to my last subject line - it was time to get some thoughts out. even if brief, i really do enjoy writing not just for my own edification but because i always hear from others when i do. i still read journals and blogs even if my comments are either brief or non-existent. the baby sometimes lets me type, sometimes does not. also, twitter and facebook are easier to use, let's be honest. however, i really don't like facebook, so i say what everyone does, which is that 'i'll try to post here more often'. i'll try to make that NOT an empty promise.
6 weeks ago today, Zoe Josephine was born, 7lbs 14 oz, 20 inches long. she was born beautiful, screaming, and with all bits and parts where they should be. it was a wonderfully healing and fulfilling experience to be able to be mentally present for the birth of my child, for chris to be able to share it too, and to have her with us in our room. i cherish alex's experiences even more now, and hers too. she's my little bee and she's already living up to her name.
pictures of her can be found here, but here's my favorite:
