My day with the baby!

Monday was what I thought it was going to be... she did not sleep well the night before and I did not sleep well and yesterday we were both upset all day. That's why God gives you partners to do this with. When Chip came home from work he relieved me and I was able to eat (finally), shower, and pick up the house a little bit.

Today is MUCH better (it would have to be for me to spend all this time on the internet). In between feedings and wanting to be held, I've been here on the computer trying to get this blog set up. My mom has requested it (as well as more pictures) so she can keep up with her granddaughter.
She's sleeping as I'm working on this. Notice the hand coming out of her swaddler... she's Houdini, I promise. You wrap her up as tight as you can and in the middle of the night she's escaped! Also, Chip and I have this thing called the "Bed Buddy" which is draped across her middle. It's for aches and pains - you microwave it and it provides "moist heat." Anyway, we've been calling it the "Baby Buddy" because Josephine calms down within minutes of it being put across her belly. I highly recommend it!

Josephine is in the foreground and the computer station that I've been typing on is in the back. I'll get a little done and then the phone will ring, Josephine will stir, Stella will need to go out, I'll need to eat, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I can't wait to go back to work where EVERYTHING is on a schedule. I'm dying!

Here' s how interested Stella is in my blogging. She's thrown in the towel and, by the looks of things, has resigned to the fact that she's a dog. This can only last so long though - I know she'll be begging to get in my lap in about 5 minutes. As I'm typing she's moved from the floor to the chair next to me. Predictable.
