Rebellious Finger
Even though I have cut his fingernails, David's nails are pretty sharp and he keeps scratching his face in his sleep, which is why we often put gloves on his hands. This picture is of a special shirt that has flaps that fold over to act like gloves. David has figured a way to get his little thumb out and each time I tuck it in, he gets it out, so I let him have his way.

Life Goes On
I would like to say that life has gone back to normal in the karenika household but that would be a lie. I know that we will be establishing a new normal now that our household accomodates three, but I am assuming it will not look the way it does now.

The good news is that he has gained a lot of weight and is happy and healthy. No major or minor problems, thankfully. The bad news is that mommy is exhausted most of the time. She spends her days in her pink pajamas, eating, feeding baby, sleeping, working, and doing laundry. She has lost some weight but has a lot more to go and her back is better than expected but still in quite a bit of pain. While she is pretty patient with David, she's short the rest of the time with the rest of the people in her life. She knows that's due to exhaustion and it will go away. David spends his days eating, sleeping, peeing, pooping, and spitting up.

I had promised myself that I wouldn't be one of those moms who constantly talks about her baby and that might be why I've been avoiding updating the site (that and a complete lack of disposable time). For the last three weeks, my life has been not much besides my baby and I assume it will be that way for at least a few more weeks before I start regaining some of my adult brain cells. I will start reading normal books again and having interesting thoughts again but, for now, I'm only concerned with the little one, making sure he's well fed and all around satisfied with the service he's getting.

So if you've been waiting for new photos or some thought-provoking entries (and I know it's been a long time since we've had those) hang in there, they'll be here in a while. I'm just a little busy enjoying the miracle of life.
