Six weeks

I have a six-week old in my house. I don't know how that happened. Soon he'll be off to college and I'll be weeping for my babies. Although his sister will be 27 at that point, so maybe the gap between children at home and grandparenthood won't be that big. Yes, this is what I think about.

Someday, I will share the miraculous story of his birth, but I am way too jittery to focus on that right now because I am jacked up on caffeine and steroids. (Sorry, Nursing Baby!) Somehow I managed to get poison ivy all over my FACE despite being Cesarean-sectionally restricted to hobbling outside and collapsing on a lawn chair while the children run around with the neighbors. I've heard people complain about our GP being 'old school,' but today I got squeezed in for an appointment I didn't have to pay for, and they gave me a free flu shot, too. Old school doctor FTW!

Now I must figure out what to feed ALL OF THESE CHILDREN since our supply of new baby meals has dried up. I'm thinking scrambled eggs.

How are you?

  2. It was a sad, sad day when our new baby meals dried up. I'm pretty sure we had cereal that night.

  4. I'm doing great, thanks for asking! Our entire family had corn dogs for dinner last night, because it was the only thing left in the freezer.

  6. Wow, 6 weeks already? Those flew right on by...for me anyway. ;)

    Glad that you all are well. I hope things are settling down and starting to be a new normal for your family.

    Also, why are you not sharing more pictures of your squishy new baby? Why? It's torture!
