How much I stink...

Let me count the ways...

I'm so sorry that there haven't been a multitude of blog posts here. I am a terrible TERRIBLE blogger.

But I'll try to make up for it!


Calina Lily is a beautiful 7.5 week old. As I am typing this, she is sleeping in her Moby wrap on my chest. She spends a good portion of my waking hours in this position. I really love it, because it keeps her close to me, but at the same time, my hands are free to do almost anything I'd normally want to do without baby on board. She doesn't have to spend the day staring at the ceiling or sleeping in a cold room by herself all day, and I know immediately when she needs something from me.

It's also great, because we don't tiptoe around her while she's napping in the wrap... It's loud, and bouncy, and she just sleeps right through everything... music, TV, talking, dogs barking, my chest jiggling when I laugh...

She has been shooting us some REAL smiles over the last 3 weeks or so... Almost every morning starts off with a big smile at me once I wake up enough to say hello to her. She sleeps in the giant King size bed with us, so that I can feed her a couple times during the night without having to get up. I usually let Colin have the first diaper change of the day before heading off to work.

Today, I'm taking the Trio girls and our babies out to lunch.

Thing I love about my 7.5-week-old: She's grown up enough to show both happy and sad emotions now.

  1. Hey Mel! She's beautiful!!

    I was on the fence about what wrap to get but you have officially sold me on the Moby. Now to go buy one.... :D

    I have a friend on facebook who is Vegan and thinking about trying to conceive this summer. She might have some diet/pregnancy concerns so I sent her your blog. Just a heads up, if she decides to ask you questions! ;)

    Did Bryan send you ultrasound pics of Levi? If not, hound him. We have good ones!
