Vann has been having a ton of fun snapping shots with Poppy’s fancy Nikon camera!! My parents got here yesterday and I’m afraid I haven’t been the life of the party…we think I may have a breast infection (sorry, guys) as I have some of the typical symptoms and have been feeling super-rundown. The good news is that I have my 2 week OB appointment tomorrow morning, so hopefully I can get started on some meds ASAP.

The best news, however, is that our little peanut is officially back up to her birth weight, in fact, she’s at 5 pounds, 8 1/2 ounces!! It feels great to know that she’s getting enough when she nurses and is rocking out the weight gain. Today she had a long period of “awake time” in which she contemplated the problems of the world while practicing her blinking. Looks like she’s going to be a multi-tasker, like her Mommy.

Charlie is officially back in town; Mimi called from the hotel and put her on the phone. When she said “Bye-Bye” I about melted. She’s going to be staying downtown with all the grandparents for a couple nights…they have plans to take her to some museums and Build-A-Bear, and we thought it’d be easier for Charlie to be where all the action is. Vann is going to meet them every night after work. As for me, I’m resting and trying to stay positive. I love being a mom, and wouldn’t change a thing, but man, it is hard work. Healing from major surgery while attempting a major life change is not for the faint of heart. Please continue to pray for us as we adjust to being a family of four!!!
