A little bit of what our lives have been like the past couple of weeks:

~ A lot more Elmo, Dora, Little People, Blue's Clues...you name it. Sophie has gotten to watch a LOT more tv lately. This is what I call parenting lite. I hope it doesn't last too long!

~ A lot less sleep. Claire has been a pretty good sleeper, but lets be honest- sleep in 2.5 - 3 hour spurts just isn't the same as a full night's sleep. This has led to phrases like "Sophie come sit down for dinner" when it is really breakfast that is being served...along with mixing up names of people and places consistently.

~ No makeup. Sweats. Hair back. Hair greasy...but that is ok when you hang out in your house all day. The c-section recovery is going slower than hoped so I think we'll be at home for a while. This will be hard for me. Hoping not to go stir crazy.

~ Hiccups, spit up, lots of diaper changes. I forgot how frequently newborns poop. And how much laundry the little one brings.

~ And I think a phrase expected by the mom of newborn - - "we're done having kids". Maybe that will change when the newborn fog wears off....maybe.

~ Sisters. Sophie has been so sweet with Claire. She calls her "Caire" and wants to kiss her and pull on her little fingers. (Not sure what the fetish is with that). It has been a joy to have these 2 precious girls in our lives. Well, Elmo's world is almost over. I better finish blogging for now.
