Puppy Love

People asked me before the baby was born how I thought the dog would adapt. I said I thought she would be fine after she got her nose back in joint...and its true, there were a few days of pouting but now the Moo Dog has adjusted.

Moo checks the bassinet when she comes back in from outside. When the baby is particularly upset (usually about a dirty diaper) the dog sticks by her side. And yesterday....well, Princess P was napping by me while I read a book (James Patterson's Mary, Mary - suspenseful) and Moo Dog asked to come up on the bed to nap as well.

The crazy fabric with hearts and monkeys on it is the leg of my PJs - so we were quite the cozy little snuggle pile for a while yesterday.

Sleeping, Sleeping, Sleeping

It's what we do most of the time...well, lots of the time. Much better than a teddy bear.

Jeans, Genes, Genie!

I am back in my jeans! They zipped, they fit...there is still a little extra weight in jelly belly but they are ON! No muffin top, just a little squish over the top of my underwear which are still of the pregnancy variety...not super attractive.

I had my staples removed yesterday and was given a green light to go back to walking and exercising and all that stuff...slowly but go ahead. Other people have been told to wait six weeks...I am still easily tired and easily worn out but at least each day I can push a little harder.

Princess P has my dad's eyebrows, my nose, my fingernails, her uncle's hairline and my mom's legs. Speaking of my mom, Grammy came for a visit, she seems to like Princess P as much as the rest of us, of course, what's not to like! :) Here they are having a snuggle.

First Doctor's Appointment

Princess P had her first doctor's appointment today. She has already gained an ounce from her birth weight...usually it takes two weeks so the doctor was pleased! That's my girl, already goal oriented.

My mom is here, that has been fantastic. She has made the past 24 hours much nicer. She makes sandwiches and holds the baby and walks the person sized dog.

All in all, we are settling in nicely. Still a bunch of things to get taken care of...switching insurance, getting car smogged and....UGGGY...getting my staples out! ICK! Bluck! Ewww...can only imagine what that will be like...you all will find out on Thursday, if I survive it.

Short entry today, getting ready for the big Halloween extravaganza!

And, no, she isn't dressing up this year.
