While She's Sleeping

Daddy and Emma are both sleeping, so I thought I'd do a brief update on several things. First of all, I'm feeling better. I'm still having some painful cramping here and there, but that's part of the medication that I'm on to reduce the size of my uterus and there's only two pills left to take, so hopefully that will be gone tomorrow. Thanks to Aunt Ann, I'm almost fully rested and ready to face the next challenge!

Second, we started on cloth today and I'm proud to say that since 9am this morning, all she's worn is cloth! We started with the Little Lions AIO (All In One), and then we've just used prefolds and covers. The jelly roll is working better than the angel fold (yay! Thank you Jess for that suggestion!), and although I'm probably a little over-active with changing (we've gone through a LOT of cloth so far), I'm getting the hang of it and Emma is doing better with it. Our next ONE thing is to teach Daddy how to do cloth. :)

Third, it's hard to believe that my little one will be two weeks old on Monday. Daddy goes back to school next week, and I'll be home alone with her two days out of the week. It's not that much, but enough to make me think harder about how I'm going to spend my time with her! I'm thinking as many naps as we can fit in, and I want to start reading to her in the evenings again. We'll see how it goes.

In the short term, here are a couple of pictures....

I love this little outfit! She's wearing a prefold with a Bummis cover underneath it.


Flowers that my colleagues from the APA Task Force sent -- I'll be seeing them in May in Washington, DC, and Emma will be coming with us. Tons of fun!


These are the flowers that my work sent -- just gorgeous, and the vase is unbelievably cute.


Last, but not least, the flowers that Grandma and Grandpa Lewis sent for us. They were delivered at the hospital, and have a cute balloon tied to them.
