Mid-February Update

There's one word to describe the last couple of weeks -- and that word is "adjustment". My work life has changed as I am now consulting and working from home -- I'm glad life ended up showing up this way as I get to spend so much time with Alexis and get to be a major part of these first few months of my daughter's birth.














Some days, I don't get to start working on client projects until 11 or 12 noon. Some days I am doing work in the middle of the night or early in the morning. I am happy though as I have had some great, creative projects and even better clients.




Hannah grew over a pound over the last week or so and is an inch longer. She no longer has any of the jaundiced look she had for awhile and is eating very well. We don't have to go back to the doctor for another month -- a very good sign.










Of course, Alexis has had to adjust a great deal as well. Being home all the time is something that takes some getting used to. I've been making sure to try to get her out once a day doing something as I get to leave now and then to see my clients. Her Mom stayed here the other day and we both went to Ron and Rachel's for a visit -- that was great but also probably the longest we've been away at maybe an hour or so.





You'll see from these pictures that she's grown a great deal -- enjoy! Clicking on any of them will make them bigger!

Diaper Changing

Every diaper change shows a range of emotions and movement. It starts with a little cry and lots of arm and leg waving and ends in a swaddle or a hug...here's some pics of the experience.

We've been getting sleep when we can and enjoying this time at home together. Several friends have brought dinner over and that has helped a lot. We are at times exhausted and at time excilirated...such is the way of being a parent I assume.
