5 Weeks

And 5 weeks has passed since this child was born. Almost exactly, in fact—it's 3:08pm, and she was born at 3:26. Amazing. It's seemed like forever, and it's flown by. She was born a million years ago and she just arrived yesterday. We're used to her, we know her, she is a total mystery. She is big—11 lbs now, and even taller, and her neck is getting stronger and she sleeps well at night and loves to eat and she smiles at us.

And we bought a house. We are moving in a month. This will be a very very busy month. I feel good and calm but very aware of all that we have to do. I love being home with Ivy, though it's hard to get much done.

How do those mommy bloggers do it?! I guess it gets easier and you settle into a routine and your brain gets less addled and mushy? I am getting good at using my feet to pick stuff up off the floor when I'm holding her so I don't have to bend down. If only I could pack with my toes...

Right now she's in her bassinet and I'm rocking it with my right foot. She's kind of napping, kind of grunting.

I think some of the mommy bloggers out there have nannies, honestly. Though, I am not one of them. It's easier the older they get, they can be more easily amused at the silliest things, like a little bit of tape...You'll find your way with it.
I have monkey feet, too. It's kinda cool. She will try to do it when she's able to stand and walk, watch!! It's really funny!
Keep on doing what you do. Yes, keeping your eye on the ball is important, moreso than updating us baby-information-hungry folk out here. =)
Moving is weak-sauce, but it's for the better!!! Congratulations!
