In the words of someone wiser.

Thanks you, GBS. I think you are spot on.

1 week already!

Thanks to Heather for her amazing photography skills!!

It's all a blur! But I am beginning to forget the labor pains already. Here are a few (I'll admit, somewhat cliche) things I've found to be true after one week of mommy-hood:

I am so blessed to have so much support from friends and family.
Christian is the absolute best daddy in the entire world--I totally scored, people.
I never knew how fast 9 months would go.
I never knew how stinking hard labor is.
I totally forgot what it's like to hug my husband without a big belly.
It feels SO good to sleep on my back....that is when I get any sleep.
Hearing her cry is really really hard.
Watching her sleep is fun and boring sometimes.
Crying when she cries isn't a good idea.
Knowing she is alive and growing means I did a good job!
Breast-feeding is such a cool thing...totally weird, but cool.

I can't imagine life without her--what in the world was that like?

I never knew I could love anyone so much.

your opinion please...

Would you hang one of these prints in your home or give it as a gift to someone who might? Which one is your favorite? Do you like the colors? Are they too sassy? Am I trying too hard? Are they just plain dumb? Please, oh, please, my Etsy shop (to be opened some time this century) depends on your feeback.

The sizes I have above are 8 x 10 and 8 x 8. I've been thinking about putting these on dish towells or greeting cards...would that be of interest to any one, do you think?

Do you have plans for tomorrow night?
