Hey all! Bet ya thought I fell down a hole or something, but I'm still here. Abbie and I are doing well - sometimes she's really nice to me and coordinates her diaper changes and feedings, so I get over 2 hours of sleep at a time. :-)
Abbie has grown so much over the past week - when we brought her home from the hospital, she wasn't able to fill out the newborn-sized clothing, and now it's taking a little more effort to fit her into that size. She's also eating very well and dirtying lots of diapers, which the doctor says is a good thing, but she's not the one having to change them at 3am........
I'm also recovering well - the doctor sent me home with some pain medication, which I haven't felt the need to take at all since Sunday night. Wish I could get a little more sleep, but other than that, I'm feeling much better. My brain is also finally starting to think about "non-baby" things occasionally, like tailgating, home improvement projects, etc. It's nice to be able to do stuff like that so that I continue to feel normal.
This afternoon, Abbie and I are going to attempt our first field trip out of the house, just the two of us. Mommy can't have caffeine right now, and we don't have decaf espresso beans in the house, so we're going over to Caribou for a decaf latte. I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!
