I was asked recently what my belly looks like now, seven weeks after giving birth. It’s mushier than it was before I got pregnant, of course, and is a bit more muffin-toppy than it has ever been in my life, but it’s okay, under the circumstances. I’m two pounds over my pre-pregnancy weight, […]

According to my mom’s digital scale, at seven weeks-two days, Ash weighs 13lbs exactly. That’s up from 7-13 at birth. Crazy.

Baby’s first cold was during week seven. BAH.

Ash wasn’t really born with eyelashes, they really started growing after he was born. They were very blonde until week seven, when they started getting darker.
He was born with eyebrows, but they were also very, very blonde until week seven when they started getting darker.
Ash’s hair was redish when he was born. It started falling […]

Granted, the trail was pretty rugged, […]

Although Ash has been able to lift his head up off my shoulder and turn it from side to side since he was two weeks old, now at six weeks, he’s finally got full control over his head, and can sit in his sling, head up, without my assistance. I still brace it for him, […]

I’m tempted not to discuss this for fear of tempting the Sleep Gods, but here it goes:
Sleep, for the past couple of weeks, has been WONDERFUL!
I figured out that Ash liked to sleep on top of me at night, and when he did, he’d sleep in four hour stretches! Sometimes his waking period would be […]
