I *heart* postpartum hormones!
Please, do excuse my lack of posting these days...I've been a little busy:




Apparently, we ALL must be present to witness Delaney's first bath.


And please know that SOMEDAY, I will write about other things than BAYYYYY-BEEES. But seriously, could YOU focus on anything else if you had THIS to gaze at all day long?



Please ignore my many chins. Thank you.

So for now, just a quickie update...


I am in baby heaven. Seriously, total bliss. If you're considering a third child, it's really not that bad - not yet, anyway. Delaney has been really easy and mellow so far, Garrett and Laura really haven't done anything out of the ordinary, and my husband has been wonderful.


I did recently wake from a nap to find Laura had painted her lips orange with acrylic paints, and Garrett had eaten his way through most of the snack cabinet, but that IS normal for them. Preschool starts Monday, thank you God for small mercies.


I'm still a little sore and have a minor infection of my C-section incision, but I've lost every pound of baby weight (plus an extra three) and am feeling really well. Nursing is going great, and I'm even off the Percocet.

I'm still on my Lexa*pro, which is probably helping to keep me on an even keel. And to top it all off, I bought pants and a shirt today that do not say MATERNITY on the tag. Oh, fine, they are elastic waist pants, but STILL. Ooh, and lest I forget, I got together with friends last Saturday and had BEER. Life is good.


But have no fear...the drama is coming. Laura starts preschool Tuesday, and this is how her Meet The Teacher day went:



Ha ha. Stay tuned.

So glad you're doing so well, also. I've been wondering how it's all going.

She is so beautiful! (And we can talk about both of you!) Congrats on the weight! I'm so jealous! I think I wore maternity for about two months (also because of a sore belly). More baby updates please! I don't think we'll ever get tired of it! I'm so happy for all of you! Maybe someday.....lm

You should know that if you tried to talk about anything other than BAY-BEEEEES we would hunt you down and....and...make you talk about your new little BAY-BEE so keep it comin' sister.
She is so beautiful. I know I've told you this several times now but she really is. She is such a pretty baby. Perfect skin. Perfect color. Perfect.
Laura's meet the teacher day? Oh no. :-) Can't wait to hear how the first day goes.
All baby weight gone? Non maternity clothes? Three isn't bad? A beer? I think I can actually see you floating across the room.
Thanks for the update. Fabulous!
