I am feeling like I am almost completely out of the postpartum fog I’ve been in for the last two months. I feel great, things are getting done that weren’t getting done the last couple months (i.e. Mt.Washmore) and I am optimistic about our future as a family of six. Now, I understand this feeling may only last until tomorrow morning – but I’ll take it.
I was reflecting back today about several key things that got me through the last few months and I thought I’d share them with you.

Our baby swing broke this morning while Emma was mid-swing. It snapped at the hinges and she abruptly dropped to the floor. She made a face like she was about to holler, but then stopped and looked around as if to say, “whatever this works too”. And she just sat in the swing on the floor until we were ready to leave. That’s my girl, roll with it and we’ll get along alright.
The swing was a hand-me-down when we got it for JJ. Then it was worked to the bones through all the boys, the other kids I watch and several 3 and 4 year olds that took it for a ride every now and again. It had a good long life.

John asked me last week if he could order a gift for Emma… he asked because I’m doing our finances right now. I didn’t ask what it was, but I honestly assumed it was going to be some gadget, maybe a Princess Lea something, a Woot T-Shirt, something along those lines.
I was totally surprised when we received this sweet little package from humbleBea.com . It included two onesies, one short sleeve one and one long sleeve, a matching flower pin and these super sweet little booties. I love love love the colors and those booties – I could eat them they are so sweet. All from Daddy – Emma is SO lucky to have John as a Dad.

I’ve had lots of nesting desires the last couple weeks – but really nowhere to nest since Emma doesn’t have a room right now. So my urges have been put to good use in closets, friend’s basements, drawers and lots of to-do lists.
One of my favorite friends and blogs is Cary’s blog, I’ve Got a List for That. It’s amazing to me how much I learn from her lists, from what to buy at Whole Foods to learning about her kids. And I am always so impressed how diligent she is about blogging. Anyways, I wanted to make a list of the things I want/need for Emma, it’s all in my head now and when the time comes I know it will have left my brain.
