2 wk bday

happy 2 week birthday to my cute little baby. i feel like she's already grown so much (we find out exactly how much tues when we take her back for a check-up). she makes funny little faces and noises and although she sleeps a lot, i love the moments when her eyes are wide open and you know she's just thinking "what the f is going on?!"

dee dee (grandma on daddy's side) is in town from south africa so i've had a little time to myself today - grocery store trip, made copious amounts of ice tea and pasta salad, updating this here blog! i really should be working..i'll get to that later. we also had a breakfast outing this week (mmm my new craving is all things breakfast related) and a lunch outing tomorrow. taking her out is not as hard as i thought it would be, once i get the hang of slings i'll be good to go. my main worry now is boob leakage. i ventured out to work on tues evening and immediately leaked through my shirt. i had to rush in my office and put on a jacket before my boss caught me. embarrassing. but otherwise - i think i am getting a handle on this whole baby thing. i'm trying to keep up with pumping so we have plenty stocked up for my return to work (and to combat leakage). and let me just mention that pumping is by far the weirdest. weird looking, feels weird, just WEIRD.

i'm wearing almost normal jeans already - although i wish i still needed to wear maternity jeans. those things are so comfortable! i say almost normal b/c they still have a bit of stretch in the waist. but i've lost a lost of my belly and can't wait to start wearing real clothes again. my fingers are still too swollen to wear my rings, which makes me very sad. and i'm nervous to try on my shoes in case my feet grew. but overall, things are starting to get back to our new normal.

and now i need to figure out how i'm going to make her a pillow with all the princess fabric i bought. new project that i am almost feeling the urge to make! almost. i still love hanging out in bed all day with my daughter, watching court tv and buffy.
