I've been busy. what can I say?
it's been a very eventful 6 weeks or so- the hardest and best of my life.
it started with my induction: over 36 hours of labor, 2 hours of pushing, and not a few stitches. then, as if we hadn't had a hard enough time of it, Celeste went to the NICU for 9 days. our time and contact with her were limited and we were devastated every time we had to leave the hospital to go home and sleep. I couldn't breastfeed, she was tiny, and we were never alone with her.
now, at 6 weeks, it's like we're living in a completely different world: she doesn't leave my side (except for date night!). she's a champion breastfeeder, a fat and healthy baby who grins at us. life couldn't be better. sure, I haven't slept since january 4 and I may not shower regularly, but that's seems inconsequential in the light of this awesome baby we made.

She's got a gorgeous smile! Glad you're loving every minute of it. Wish I could meet her while she's still a tiny baby!
Hey! We need a new picture of this kid!
BTW, our blog is public again. I decided to live on the edge. :)
