Fresh blue eyes, big as saucers.
4 months today.
I’m getting my body back! Shrinking out of clothes. Thankful for the newness. I really feel like I get a new body with every baby. It feels so fresh and miraculous to step out of the new baby fog. The mist thins gradually– and then, “Oh! I recognize you!” Only, it seems better, more miraculous. Stronger.
Thank you body. Thank you for my babies. Thank you for recovery– for discovery.

That’s an awesome photo! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I was just talking to a friend today who had a baby more than a year ago and she was reassuring me that once the baby is born, my body will come back to normal, slowly; though it may seem to me now that it can’t be possible! I don’t worry much about how I will look after, but surely hope my RSI will get better.

I was going to tell you on Sunday how fabulous you look! The dress you wore looked terrific.
He’s such a cutie! I enjoyed holding him yesterday!

I miss you ALL so much!
No one can believe he is so big all ready. We loved the jumping bean movie.
