As you all know, there is really no such thing as TMI when it comes to these blog thingies, so here are my thoughts:

1. Since returning to work I have been pumping like a Mad Cow to make Sophie's breakfast and lunch for the next day.  The pump I have (Medela--the only way to go), is lovely and has a HUGE amount of suction behind it.  So I am wondering--why don't my boobs get hickeys around them when I use it?  Seriously, sometimes I have to actually use my finger to liberate my poor little booblette from the grip of the suction...

2.  How come I am only 2 or 3 pounds away from my pre-preg weight and NONE of the clothes I owned before will fit me?  Why am I not an eight again?  How can it be that different?

3.  How come when we walked when I was pregnant and weighing in the 180s, I was tired but not exhausted and now, weighing in the 150s, if I put Sophie in the Bjorn and go for a walk I feel like I am going to die?  I was lugging her around INSIDE my body and it didn't seem to bother me as much?  Where is the logic there?

4.  How come on the days I get more than 6 hours of sleep (we consider that a Baby Jesus Miracle at our house), I am actually MORE tired than if i get like 4 hours?  Is it because I never actually get to sleep?

5.  You know those little ridges we all got in our fingernails whilst preggo?  Why didn't those go away?  I look like I have a little mountain range in my finger nails?

6.  Why didn't the thick hair have the courtesy to stick around?

I guess those are all my musings.  If you have any thoughts or additional ideas, leave 'em in the comments.

lovie lovie!

Well, I apologize for not being a more diligent blogger...or even in the very least "picture poster".  I could do better, but it takes many steps and it wears me out after I have just spent time emailing out all the pics to family etc...so anyway...she is growing like a total weed!!  She got her first toof on Mother's Day--yay me!  You could hear the screaming all the way to the coast I am certain.  Actually, she handled it pretty well considering it must hurt like a total buggar.

She took her second plane trip last week out to Arizona to see her nana and pana and aunt leese and uncle blaine and alll the rest of her family.  She did great with it.  I on the other hand, am totally worn out.  So here you have it: pictures.

This is her serious, concentrating face.  Thank you for ignoring the green beans on her outfit!
