I find myself wanting to force feed her.Ya, I watch a lot of her these days…

I’m just going to ignore the fact that I haven’t posted for 6 months. I was depressed. I am not depressed anymore. I was pregnant.

This is us, the morning I went in for the C-section. A family of 3! Soon to be 4...

40 lbs lighter! Literally!

And then I wasn’t pregnant anymore! I had polyhydramnios and pre-eclampsia, so I was very glad to no longer be pregnant, and to have a healthy baby. Who is scrumptious!

Brian shot this photo, just after her first bath. She was 19.25 inches long, and 8'7".

Alice is the sweetest baby ever, I promise!  I get to enjoy almost every minute of her, since I’m now at home full time with her. I am still in school, so when Brian has her in the mornings, when I hit my classes. He is, predictably, a great daddy. Emma, as you might guess, LOVES her baby sister!

She calls her "my baby". She carries her everywhere. I did try and stop her...But now I am glad of the help. She even changes poopy diapers!

I am finally feeling better. I had to have a minor surgery to fix something awry, but more on that some other time. I know you want another Alice picture!

My beautiful girls! Do you like Alice's dark hair??? She got that from her daddy!

Depression sucks, even when it’s just situational. We are done with it. Things are looking up. No worries, it wasn’t anything to do with the baby, or marriage or anything.

Some skin to skin time. She is so cute! I love this picture...

I look like hell, but I was sick, and then the surgery wasn’t a ton of fun. I was puking. Happy, but puking.

Anyway, here I sit, 14 weeks later, finally feeling like myself. A little, anyway. My hair is falling out (post baby, normal), and I can’t exercise yet, although I expect to get the green light on Friday. Alice is precious and snuggly, very smart and trying to talk already. She loves to be held, loves her toys, loves her sister… She is a great baby.

She slept through the zoo...

I like butterflies!

She was an angel in Montana...

Brian always manages to take photos when I’m eating!

Last Sunday she snuggled happily into her grandpa's arms for a nap.

So this is what I’ve been up to, how about  you?
