useless to resist
with charms like these, who can resist? I present the cutest kid on the face of the planet:
more pictures here.
in other news, caleb is doing quite well. he's awake more during the day and sleeping more at night. hopefully this trend will continue. we're falling more and more in love with him, and I'm quite sure there's no stopping that. michelle's folks have been here this week, cooking up a storm, helping late at night, fixing and painting stuff, and loving on their newest grandbaby. I've started back with work, so far going in for a half day and working from home for the rest. we'll see how that goes. I'm so thankful for such flexibility. michelle is still recovering, and our big day of first bath, first doctor visit, and first public feeding took it out of her a bit. but overall she's doing well and growing into a wonderful mom. we cherish each moment with our little miracle.

Such sweet pictures! Congratulations again. Caleb is very cute -- love that dark hair!
What an adorable little guy! It makes me so excited for my niece or nephew to come! Can't wait!
I can't get enough of the pictures, Bob! Gid wants me to show them to him over and over, too. Caleb really is such a handsome little guy.
How's Michelle's fibromyalgia?
so far we're pretty sure the fibro isnt much of an issue right now. since she's been on the road to fibro recovery for a year and a half, her body should be able to bounce back from labor as well as you might expect (so of course it will take time). we'll keep an eye on things.
they say that pregnancy helps relieve fibro symptoms, so we'll see what happens now that she's unpregnant. her arms, shoulders, and back have been hurting her some, but I think that's just her body building strength for the new task of caring for a child (who likes to arch his back intitially when feeding). fibro or no, she hasnt used those muscles regularly in a long time. thanks for asking and thanks for your prayers. God is faithful.
Oh, yeah! Man, I'd forgotten how sore my upper body and upper back got that first bit. Finding really good nursing positions helps some, but like you said I think your body just has to get used to the new work.
Gotta correct you on this one, Katie. Zrbrt on the tummy. It's from The Cosby Show. Rudy wanted to know how to spell when she was small and asked Cliff what "z-r-b-r-t" spelled. Thus, the Zrbrt as we all know it came into existence. I'm pretty particular on this one.
And, yeah, I'm beginning to wonder where my Boppy is for this next one. What a wonderful invention!
