A New Look


No matter how long I wait to get dressed, Asher will wait longer to spit up. So the spot on my shoulder is a given. Today, though, I developed a new look. When I glanced down on my drive to work, I discovered half-digested eggs Serena had puked up this morning, clinging to the cuff of my pants.
Motherhood is great.

And 5 weeks...


If Asher is 5 weeks old already, then I've only got a week of maternity leave left! Have already been back to work some, of course. It's hard to stay away entirely. Luckily, I'll have a couple weeks of partial maternity leave to get used the schedule again - or for Asher to get used to the schedule. He's seems much more agreeable to taking the bottle than Serena was, though, so that should make things a little easier for all of us.

In any case, I haven't gotten much checked off my maternity leave to-do list. Guess I should have put "make happy, healthy baby heavier" on there, just for the satisfaction of checking it off. At 4 weeks, Asher was about 11 1/2 pounds, so he's probably somewhere around 12 pounds at this point. Sleeping pretty well, too.

Made it to One Month


Here's Asher at 4 weeks old - so peaceful.
