I'm sitting here writing this post and listening to Esther "talk" to me. She plays this call and response game with us. It's one of my most favorite things and I will miss this time during the day with her. I'm returning to work next Monday and It's very bittersweet. I've enjoyed these months with …
Esther’s Growing Up. Soon She’ll Be Off to College
It amazes me how fast these little ones grow. We had our girl's 2 month check up today. She's 11/11. She likes double digits apparently. At birth she was 6/6. She also had her first round of shots. I took it like a champ! Oh, Esther's fine too (: She's currently sleeping soundly. If you …

2 months
From Feb 24th I'm a month old today! I'm getting bigger and starting to become more aware of my surroundings. I like to grab at things now, especially my bottle or mommy and daddy's hands as I'm eating. I also like to curl my toes and make "umm yumm umm" sounds when I eat. Basically …
Put Your Mask on First
Every time I fly I always listen carefully to the emergency instructions, especially after 9/11. In the event that the oxygen masks are deployed, they always point out that if you are travelling with small children that you should put your mask on first before assisting them. I always thought that was odd, but now …

Dear Esther
Dear Esther: Thank you for choosing us to be your parents. I'm honored to be one of your guides to take care of and nourish your little spirit. Sometimes my love for you overwhelms me and I can't imagine what I was doing before you came to us. I miss you even when just leaving …
We Were Born to Love Her: Part 2
Early Friday Morning: January 27 I bet some men choose to become anesthesiologist who specialize in giving epidurals because they want to know what it feels like to be worshipped. To show up in a laboring woman's room and feel like he's prince charming. When my prince charming showed up it was like he floated in pushing …
It Will Come…
Part 2 of Esther's birth story is coming. I just have to find time to write it. I've written it in my head a hundred times, I just have no time to put it here in a form that makes sense. I need that software, Dragon, so I can speak it and it will be …
We Were Born to Love Her: Esther’s Birth Story Part 1
***This is a very rough rough draft as I have to write in 5 minute breaks from taking care of THE little lady of the house. I just wanted to start getting all of this down before I forgot it. I figure I can come clean it up later. There will be a later, right …

Edited to Add: I actually wrote this post yesterday and just now got the chance to post it. So, yep- welcome to parenthood. Whew! First... Hey (: For those of you who don't know, our little angel arrived on Friday morning kicking and screaming (although you wouldn't know it from this serene face, would you?). …
