16 - Each Thursday evening before daddy gets home we pick a movie and rock out with our pants off...well some of us.

15 - I will miss our bedroom. I have decorated it almost exactly where I want it. The morning light is so perfect. The grey color of that wall is exactly what I had in mind when I painted it. sigh. Oh well! Time to start fresh!

14 - this is my house cleaning getup. We move on April 30th, and we have lived in this house longer than anyplace I have ever lived before. Also, children. I anticipate getting a lot of wear out of this getup. (the kerchief was $1 on sale at Target, I love that kerchief, if I had a shirt in the pattern I would never take it off.)

13 - When The Bird was born I was completely unprepared for how the lack of sleep and the hard core colic he had would affect me. HandsomeLuke would come home from work and I would be curled on the couch cuddling the Bird close, crying as my baby cried. My postpartum depression was crippling, it fed on my existing anxiety disorder and just totally overwhelmed me. We got through it and I healed with the grace of God. (truly! Ask me sometime about my conversion experience!) And The Bird has no memory of those first dark days, except perhaps a sensitivity to my mood (he is the most perceptive child). Tiny Z is a whole new experience. He is quiet and happy. He will sit for an hour or more just cooing and looking around him. I am not able to just enjoy it in quiet because I have a big boy to chase after, but every now and then, like this afternoon when his big brother took a long nap and he didn't, we spend some quiet time together. He smiles at me, and I talk to him. And I offer up a little prayer for both experiences as a mother. Because both experiences have made, are making me stronger.

12 - Morning feedings were so soothing the first time around. Now they are punctuated with requests for peanutbutter and honey toast and cereal. Only so much can be retrieved one handed. I should add that the boob is the one place Tiny Z will sleep soundest. Yes he finishes feeding, lifts his little head up and lays it upon his food source and then he snoozes away.

11 - Sometimes all we need for a good solid adventure is a trip to the library and the statement: "Sure Bird, pick out as MANY books as you want." We brought home 8 (all he could carry) and read them in bed. It was marvelous.
