things i do instead of resting


1. stare at baby
2. look at pinterest
3. make lists of things i'll do when i get off the couch
4. write down when baby nurses and sleeps (is there a pattern yet?)
5. cry a little (yes...it's an emotional time in many ways)
6. watch cooking shows
7. read (bake the bread, buy the butter and the forger's spell - thanks stephanie!)
8. read some more (the litigator bought me a bunch of magazines the day i was waiting to have this girl)
9. move around the house to the good light and take pictures






my midwives recommend staying in pajamas, on the couch, for 2 weeks. 'let everyone else do the work' they say. i can't manage to wear pajamas that long but i'm doing my best to sit down and let the life in this home swirl around me. the litigator is stepping up to be 2 parents in one.
