Life with Norah


Wow, what day is it? Things are pretty crazy around here; one minute it's 6:30am, and I'm getting the kids off to school with a newborn at my breast, the two of us smelling like we've spent the night rolling around in mama's milk (we have), and the next minute it's 3pm, time to meet the bus. My days are running together. Oh, and did I mention, I start teaching next week. Imagine throwing that into the mix!


Norah is the sweetest baby. I'm almost hate to utter those words out into the universe, but she couldn't be happier. She sleeps well, eats well, loves to be held by everyone, and I actually manage to get a shower on most days!


I had forgotten how much they poop and sleep (in 25 minute increments) and want to nurse. I had forgotten how much you absolutely fall in love with them when they look up at you in wonder as you're nursing them, and you can't believe that you were even a small part of creating this miracle of a person.


I know...I'm sleep deprived, but I'm enormously grateful and happy too.
