Alls Well

It’s busy but it’s good.

She loves the swing...it was not purchased in vain.

It is easier when she's here.

Always good when he's here too.

This past week has been wonderful. I’ve had tons of help from Jud and my parents as we all help Gideon adjust to his new world and me adjust to mine. Piper has not needed much help. She is a sleepy poopy machine of goodness that has melded into our family like butter. She’s sweet and she’s snuggly and her brother really likes it when she makes squealing noises. I’m still struggling to get myself ready, Piper dressed and fed and out the door in plenty of time. Jud still does a great job getting Gideon together and ready for appointments. He’s a great dad and I’m so thankful for all his hands on work with our children. Unfortunately he’s been plagued by a nasty cold that’s now settled in his chest bronchitis and is having to keep his distance a bit from our little girl. Gideon can’t leave Jud (his personal jungle gym of fun time) alone even if we wanted him to, so we haven’t really attempted it. Hopefully tomorrow will bring antibiotics and more requests from his coworkers to leave the office so that he can rest and get better. So, we’re surviving, even in the midst of the hacking and we’re thriving with two great eaters and sleepers who are the biggest joys of our lives.

All wrapped up (thanks, Aunt Tawnya!)

She's in a blue blanket, but trust me, it's Piper.

A Life Changing Birthday

Posted by on Mar 20, 2009 in Uncategorized | 2 comments

This morning, Jud walks downstairs to the family room where I am feeding the baby with this look of total shock. I can’t tell if the news he is about to deliver is good, bad or just completely off the wall. With very wide eyes and a wrinkled forehead he asks “Have you taken a shower with the new shower head yet?”

I said no.

He replied,”It’s life changing.”

I laughed and thought, well then, Happy 27th Birthday and sort of dismissed his excitement.

I just took a thirty minute shower and have converted to the cult of the new shower head. For lo, it is amazing. Water Pik, you are amazing.

Things are going pretty well, mostly because Jud is off of work and the one kid per adult thing seems to work swimmingly. I’m so thankful for the help! Piper had her first check up today and all is well. She is slightly jaundiced, but not enough to do much besides let her soak up some sun, which was easy to do today since the weather is full on spring. I’m hoping it stays this way.

Here she is again, in case you missed her:
