WeekOne, Come and Gone

I can't get over how well I'm feeling. I'm almost afraid to say that for fear that I'll jinx it. I did really well with my first C-section with Natalie that I never expected to do even better this time around. I have had to make sure I keep a dose of Motrin and the occasional pain meds in my system, but dare I say I feel almost back to normal. Abigail has only woken up 2-3 times the past couple nights to eat, so I'm getting some decent sleep.

I attempted to take a few pictures yesterday with John and the baby. We just don't have good natural light in our house, so I've been debating investing in a good external flash. Here's a couple of the ones I took.



And when Daddy's in charge of bath time, this is what happens.


Natalie is adjusting really well, and loves her baby sister. Yesterday afternoon I had my Dr. Appt. to get my staples out. We left while Natalie was taking her nap. My mom said that when she got up, she went over to the baby glider where we've been letting Abigail sleep during the day. When she saw she wasn't in there she exclaimed, "Oh No!!"

And finally I'll leave you with a page I did yesterday. I saw this title on a page by Stephanie Howell, just right after her second little girl was born. This sentiment immediately comes to mind when I think of my family.

So glad you're feeling so great! I felt better and better with each C-Section I had, dodn't think it was possible, but it absolutely was!
