Joyful in Hope

One month old!

I had a lightbulb moment one night during a middle-of-the-night feeding.  These reality shows are missing the real entertainment.  Why hasn't anyone done a reality show about a family with a newborn?  For those of you that have experienced this yourselves or watching friends/family, you know what I mean!?!  The days (and nights) range from comical to unbelievable sometimes with the crazy nursing positions to releave a blocked duct, peeing on the sofa, exploding poopies all over your hand and arm, the things you say with only 2 hours of sleep a day, the silly expressions you make to try and get your baby to smile for the first time, etc.  But then again, maybe we (the ones living it) see the humor in it?   Because some days if you don't laugh about it, you're going to cry!  Here's a picture update because there's not time for much more.

Eden is one month old!  She's "woken up" from her month long sleep and we're seeing more of her personality.  We got a smile from her yesterday but not one for the camera yet.  She's growing well and we're all starting to have more restful nights.

My parents, Poppa and DD spent time at the end of March with us.  Esther's gift, an umbrella, was quite the delight!

 

Here is a sampling of what our family members may be doing at any given time lately:

Esther would be harassing playing with Phoebe while Phoebe switches from tolerating to protesting.

Andrew playing Lego computer games.

Daddy doing what Daddy does so well - napping.  Those late night feeding are rough, eh?
