So if you're keeping track at home, Audrey is now 5 weeks old. I just wanted to throw out a huge thank you to all those who came and helped out these last couple of weeks. I really, really appreciate it! I feel like I've been able to handle this tiny addition to our family in large part because of many helping hands. So here's to all those hands who have held and helped with Audrey. Thank you!

thanks again, and love to all!

New Diet

I never thought that in a million years I would have this type of product in our fridge (no offense to those who do). I would call myself a milk fan. I'm still trying to get use to the taste. When Audrey was experiencing stomachaches, the first thing my pediatrician recommended was for me to stay off diary. And that seemed to do the trick. It hasn't been as hard as I thought. If all it takes to keep my baby free from pain is to avoid some ice cream, by all means. Boy, the things we do for these little people...

make it all worth it!
(she'll be 4weeks tomorrow)

Life on the outside

I have loved life on the outside. Since coming from that one place where they poked me, measured me, swaddled me, I have been...

bathed,

kissed,

held,

and just plain loved and adored.
