It's no secret: We should change our post from "weeks" to "months" of our lives


Samantha loves her bumper!!! She starts out in the middle of the crib and always ends up waking up on her side in some new position. Yes. Her face is implanted on the bumper, and she is licking it. She thinks that it's my body. Completely pressed against it, she often awakens parallel to the bumper. Somebody is hungry...











I suck at blogging... BUT just in case you didn't give up on me here is what we have been up to. Now that Samantha is 11 weeks old, we are 1) starting to get out more and to recover from being very stir crazy 2) sleeping better, as Samantha is sleeping 8 hours most nights without needing to be fed 3) getting things back in order, including this blog, as a result of #2.

I never thought that I could spend so much time at home and get so little done in terms of housework. I could not imagine myself in any other position right now, but wow taking care of a baby is so demanding.

What gets me through the day ruled by the needs of a newborn?? Smiles, lots and lots of smiles. That's not to mention her favorite forms of entertainment: the ceiling fan in our room, mirrors, the treadmill, the various bookcases and closets full of patterned clothes in our house.
