One Month In

It's been a little over four weeks this little person has been here. In that time:

• We've been cuddling
• We've been kissing baby head and cheeks
• We are stunned by how much bigger Dan suddenly seems
• We're thankful that Caleb and I were able to leave the hospital after 24 hours
• We are rediscovering the joys (and occasional trials) of breastfeeding

• My mom came for a few days and let me nap.
• Toby's mom came for a week and let me nap. 
• Toby's dad came for a week and let me nap.
• Dan started creeping out of his room during nap time, waking me up from my naps.

• Abi turned 10.
• We went to the DC zoo.
• I turned 35.
• We went to Ladew Gardens. 
• We went out to eat - a lot.

We are now learning the new normal. That tends to mean lots of tweaking, rather than all change. I am grateful for the systems and schedules I put in place before Caleb's arrival, but now it's time to adjust them to accommodate a nursing infant and sleepy mommy. I have a list of projects as long as my arm, but happy to tackle them when I'm able - life is definitely taking a slower pace. I'll endeavor to keep interested parties (all 3 of them) up to date!
 I'm looking forward to re-entering the blog-world, but don't be surprised if it resembles more of an elderly shuffle than a full-on run...
