Long time no see; I've discovered that parenthood does that to a person!
Speaking of parenthood, it's great! Frog is a lovely baby. She has wonderful mornings full of smiles and giggles and happy evenings as long as she's not super tired. This kid fights sleep like you would not believe! She knows when 8 o'clock rolls around and is happy to settle into bed with us for a nice night of - *GASP* - SLEEP!
Don't get me wrong. She definately has her moments. Like last night when she started SHRIEKING uncontrollably after getting out of the shower. Even that only lasted about 20 minutes or so, though.
Some things that we've learned, that no one told us:
1) Breasfed baby poop does, indeed, stink.
2) That said bowel movements would become a major and exciting topic of discussion with EVERYONE around us, whether they want to hear about it or not.
3) That our bodies could actually become conditioned to extremely early bedtimes.
4) That having our little girl would draw our relationship even closer.
5) That watching her smile and coo would warm our hearts to undescribable degrees.
Yeah, I can dig this mommahood thing.....

Ah! You are alive!
Motherhood is amazing, eh?
I was just looking at pictures from Charlie's first week, because someone didn't believe we put him in a pink nightgown for his first night home. Oh he was so tiny (well, not really, almost twelve pounds) and sweet and new... now he is huge and sweet and TOTALLY experienced in the ways of working mom to get what he wants.
Wow. I hope that went through. Blogger went all cattywompous and since comments don't show up here...
Anyway. I hope it went through.
Nice to have you back!
oh, the poop conversations. lila's 11 months, and just tonight i had an animated discussion in which i described her dump to my beloved.
