saturday.

another night
of significant sleep for
my favorite daughter.
10+ hours =
8+ more than me.
the secret is, i don’t need
it as much as she does.
she’s growing,
and now that i know
she’s 11 pounds
i swear i can feel that growth.
suddenly i think
i can feel it
in my arms,
in my shoulders,
in my back.
everything seems to hurt.
i’m not built for weight lifting,

friday.

it’s the 25th.
it’s been 4 months.
what to do?

and ran out the
door with my 4-month old
(wow again).
made it to [...]

thursday – 4-month birthday.

so why is it so
important that we get caught
up with each other?
well, it’s madeline’s
4-month birthday
today
and
it’s time for another
visit to her dr.
you know what that means…
another guess the weight
and height contest.

(a copy of my current fav. album or book, maybe both)
to the person who
gets closest
to the actual height/weight
without going over.
you have [...]
