NPR… Boobs…? Etc…
It seems like whenever I decide to turn on NPR and listen, they’re doing a pledge drive. Alas. It’s all good - I just finally got to the point where I’m tired of drawing a blank anytime someone mentions a major world event or political occurance or whatever. I’m plugging back into current events.
Innovation of the Week: Handsfree pumping bra! I’ve rigged up a harness for my breastpump cups so I can eat breakfast, make phone calls, use the remote control while pumping. This is actually quite revolutionary, because I pump every 2-3 hours for 15 to 30 minutes at a time. Spending all of that time not using my hands was really pretty crippling. Now, I can have it all!
Life is good. Stella is now just over 12 lbs, with her cheeks filling back in. She is smiling more often, possibly at us, not just her farts and poops. She’s starting to look directly at things for extended periods of time. Imagine the spectacle of Ian and I dancing around in front of her when we realized that she was watching us and paying attention. She sleeping in the sling now, looking adorable and older than she really is. She’s got a certain wisdom in her face.
Anyway, my boobs are tingling, so I gotta go. Catch y’all later…
Atena
& Stella
