I already sent these to Emily's dad (photos taken yesterday), with the idea that I wouldn't have time to write in this blog. Goodness, how hard is it to come on over to post a few quick pictures?
With Emily fast asleep (for the moment) it seems very simple, but when she's attached nursing and I'm trying to navigate and type with one hand, it's not so easy. Then, part way through there's the burping, diaper change, something one of my other children need, and like tonight also working on baking some healthy oatmeal cookies (that turned out quit well). Even that alone took a bit, since I was bouncing her in in one arm while trying to scoop the mix on to the cooking sheet with the other.... then there was the attempting to put Emily in her swing while trying to move them on to the cooling plate - she wasn't too thrilled with that. The one time she sat quietly, I took advantage of trying to unload the dishwasher. The silverware remains.
I slipped in to a surprise nap with Emily tonight, as I was laying there nursing her. I'm grateful for these moments. It's peaceful.
Tonight when walking in to the restroom with her on my shoulder, the sight of her in my arms stunned me again and I just looked at her. What a precious little miracle.
