A moment of quiet

Today is 9 days since Josiah was born and we are doing awesome!  Yes, we are sleep deprived and still adjusting.  But, all in all, I am blessed by just how well we are doing at this point.  He nurses like a champ and really does well with his sleep patterns - for the most part.  And, his brother and sisters absolutely adore him.

I am healing quite well and trying my best to take these opportunities to rest and heal before trying to get back into the routine of things this coming Monday when my hubby goes back to work part-time.  I got a bit of exercise on the elliptical this morning for 10 minutes and then enjoyed a heavenly shower before coming back to rest on the couch and nurse Josiah again.  I feel "human" again!  I am committed to getting my body and health back... through proper diet, exercise, and time in God's Word.

I have a lot to do today to prepare for church in Manassas tomorrow.  I have diaper laundry to do, regular laundry to do, outfits to set out, diaper bags to prepare... and various other minor things.  I also need to do my Bible reading for today.  And do some preparation work for next week's schedule - Noah's homeschool, knitting plans, etc.

Speaking of knitting plans!  I am doing a "Stash Game" starting next week - I think on Monday.  I am very excited to be motivated to get some of this knitting moving along faster.  I just started a pair of longies for Josiah and want to get them finished next week... which should be NO problem.  I'm thinking I'll knit a pair of booties and perhaps a hat to match.

stash game, bah! i had such good intentions of doing this this year, and i really need to to save money for our disney trip, but, what if? you know what i mean? what if i see the perfect yarn on my trip to st. louis next week? what if a colleague goes on a business trip to japan and asks what i want them to bring back for m? i'm afraid there is no stash game for me!

Hi Tiffani...so you have an elliptical machine at home? I have to go to the gym for that! I would love to have one. I would be on it all the time while watching tv. Not sure what I would do with Malia - maybe I would do it during naptime. I am so glad you are planning to come to CCoM tomorrow. See you then! I have to go get Malia's outfit ready, too. Getting ready the night before just makes everything easier. Love,
