I'm Back.

Phew. I didn't think I would ever utter those words, but am pleased as punch to be "back" in a sense. I finally feel like I have my feet on the ground & it is safe to say...I can do this, because frankly, I wasn't certain for a while there.

After getting over my illness on Monday, we've been in full swing all week. Friends, shopping trips {okay they are minor} & even ball games have all gotten done this week & we've all survived. And to top it off? Today I wore pants that both buttoned & zipped & they were actually buttoned & zipped.

We are all sleeping well...which is HUGE. The absolute worst part of a C-Section is not being able to get comfortable enough to sleep when the time comes. I had forgotten that & am happy to say, it is no longer a problem. And the miss? Well, she is one fabulous little peanut at night. Except for an occasional hiccup, she is already spreading her feedings out at night & she just eats & goes right back to sleep. I for sure thought a girl would be more feisty than a boy. Although I suppose it is easy for her to be more mellow than her brother!

And Scoobs...well he is as charming as a 2-year-old can muster. He is still fighting for the lime light at times, but if I can remember he just wants my attention I can usually find it somewhat endearing as opposed to completely annoying...sometimes. When is he ever going to think I am as cool as he does now? I'd better soak it up & continue to remind him that I am indeed still "cool."

He has also found a gentle side & it only gets shown in her direction, as it surely is not shown in my direction. When I'm feeding her he loves to run his lips through her hair & have it tickle him. Random, but funny. He also loves to help give her baths, change her diaper & just have her close.

And Scot? Well I think it is safe to say she's done what little girls do best & has got him wrapped around her little finger.

Thank you again to everyone for all your help. We truly have been so richly blessed & I don't think I'd be uttering these words without all the meals, visits & oh so thoughtful gifts. Truly, it is so appreciated & I have more thoughts on it, but I will have to save them for another day.
