We've finally gotten to my actual due date. This sweet baby is huge! I can't imagine that I'd still be carrying this big (little) babe inside of me. This isn't the newest photo- but will give you some idea of how she's filling out and now looks like a big ole newborn at 7 lbs, 13 oz.
I'm incredibly exhausted. At no point in my life have I been as utterly, completely, coma-like sleep-deprived. When my folks were up here my mother took a shift or two of night feedings and then Anna's mom and aunt came up and helped out. Karen also came out from San Diego to cook us amazing, nutritious close-to-gourmet meals. Now that we're on our own and Anna's back at work (and really does need her sleep), I'm a zombie - and much less well nourished.
But heck, this has been incredible. Anna and I are totally, completely in love with this darling. We can't get enough of her - can't stop kissing her and cooing and holding her. (Now, the pumping and the diaper changes I can do without - but what a great system that the rest of the business makes up for the messy, inconvenient pieces!)
Yay!!!
