Wednesday

These post will be more exciting, I promise. But for now, they just eat, sleep and poop. This reminds me of when I fostered kittens. So it's a familiar routine. Jasmine's umbilical cord fell off. It was a funny story. Jonathon felt something hard on her back and in her clothing. It felt like plastic. We dug under all the clothing, and there it was on her back. So that means she can have her first official bath. But I'm waiting for Summer (my sister in law) to come out and give me baby bathing lessons. I hear she's a pro. My mother in law leaves tomorrow, so it's our big first challenge of getting up all night long. Without her this week, I'd probably be freaking out. But she kept things going very smoothly, while I built up my confidence.

Yesterday, I had a bad postpartum day. It started out with my car nearly dying at the Dr.'s office. It barely would start. Finally we got it started and it went straight to Toyota. Turns out I needed a new battery. Then, the mailman delivered the mail and much to our horror, nearly 1/2 the baby anouncements were returned. The post office didn't like the way the labels were put on. I had a major pity party, but Jonathon came to the rescue and fixed them. So some will be coming a little later than planned. But the worst part is I don't know who received them and who's will be returned. But in today's mail, I none came back. So maybe only those will be returned. I heard a few others had received them. Please let me know if you received yours so I can get some reassurance.

Well, time to go and try and get something done. I'm finding it's taking me about three days to get a simple task done!
