It was my second full week back at work, and went infinitely more smoothly than the first! Steve brings Eve in to me at work for a lunch time feeding, and it's something we all look forward to. My practice has picked right back up, after being away for 8 weeks, and it does feel good to have dedicated time with adults and using my brain.
We've continued to receive visitors. Last week, we had my friend and acupuncturist, Laurel and her husband, John, from Red Sage Health, over for dinner, to thank Laurel for her care during our pregnancy and birth.
We've been venturing outside, taking walks in our neighborhood. Here's Eve in winter garb, all snuggled in under my coat and scarf. Fun fact: both her fleece and hat are from our Florida relatives! How did that happen? Also, check out her eyelashes. They tripled in length recently. Steve's mother, Shirley, reports that Steve had them as a baby, too (still does, they just look shorter in relation to his face!).
Eve continues to amaze us with every move and noise. She has us well trained, and won't allow herself to be put down unless she wants it (which is sometimes the case). Here's Steve working on his computer with Eve in one of her favorite positions. Looks comfy, eh? The flexed hand position is common, too.
New trick as of the last few days: she likes toys!! Hallelujah. She will happily sit and look at something that you or I would find rather boring. But hey, if it means I can shower or put in a load of laundry or do the dishes, I will find a place in my heart for it, too.
A few more gratuitous pictures . . .

I think we stopped counting weeks after about 3-4 months, cause we did lose track.
ReplyDeleteAlso, T had that same brown fleece suit with flowers that E is wearing in the picture with Laurel :-)
PS: if you can figure out the back carry with the sling, that's an excellent way to have baby sleep on you while you're working at the computer
