One of the many reasons I miss sleeping – my boos like to cuddle up with me.

Henry’s Outfits
My favorite outfit, now complete with matching socks, courtesy of Evan.
Here’s one from Aunt Tracey. Do you think we bore him with these fashion photo shoots?
Last weekend it was cool enough to get away with this cute outfit, courtesy of Mr. Finn.
Also, we got this bunny from the T’s – thanks Mom and Dad T!! If you look closely, you’ll notice his name is embroidered in Bunny’s ear.
More of Monica’s Visit
First, I can’t thank Monica enough for coming to visit while Dave was in Taiwan. It was awesome having an extra set of hands around. Especially hands that cook such tasty food!
Here’s the meatloaf she made at my request, along with carmelized root vegetables, spinach salad and blue cheese and bacon mashed potatoes.
She spent lots of time entertaining Henry.
As well as Billy.
Napping with Henry doesn’t get old.
It was also great to get a chance to catch up and have lots of girl talk. Thanks Monica!
Mobiles
Mom got us this adorable handmade mobile from QuiltBaby. It hangs above the changing table and coordinates quite well with the Ugly doll Aunt Leslie gave us.
Here’s what Henry sees:
We also got a mobile for his crib, too, finally. It’s perfect! The colors on the dino mobile match his bedding and room colors, and heck, they’re dinosaurs so that’s pretty cool!
Thank You!
Thanks for all the positive comments and emails I got in regards to my body blues post. I love you all!
Sleep patterns
Does anyone have any info as to why Henry can sleep for 2-3 hours during the day (effectively a 3-4 hour feeding cycle) but wakes every other hour at night?

recovery and changes
I’m 7 weeks postpartum. And slightly depressed.
I can fit into a few pairs of my pregnancy sweat pants, a pair of sweat pant shorts that have always been too big and one pair of size 8 jeans I picked up at the thrift store. How am I going to be able to go back to work when I, literally, have nothing to wear? I can fit into about 5 oversized t-shirts and just a few pregnancy tops. I did not expect that I wouldn’t be able to fit into any of my pre-pregnancy clothes, especially tops. Part of the problem is the increased size of my chest, but the other part is finding tops that allow for easy breastfeeding access. Most of mine don’t and are too tight anyway.
We took a nice high powered walk yesterday- how many more of those before the inches start to come off my thighs?
Gah! I am so frustrated! I hate having nothing to wear. It does nothing for my somewhat eroded self confidence.

Lunch
Monica made us a fabulous lunch yesterday – isn’t it pretty?
And right now she’s making blueberry muffins for breakfast!

Henry’s Sling
The sling is helpful for holding Henry while I straighten up around the house – I can use both hands!
