10-16-12

I'm wearing non-maternity clothes for the first time today and it feels great!  I'm twelve pounds down so far in twelve days - I know a lot of it is fluid, but I'm happy about it nonetheless.  Funny how much your self-esteem rises with a shower, a bit of makeup and some "real" clothes. ;)

Anna Claire tried to say "Juliana" today - it was so sweet - sounded more like "Junia," but it was precious!  She's such a sweet girl, even in the midst of teething.  Wish those silly two-year old molars would get in so she would feel better!

Mom has been so incredibly helpful.  I know we COULD do it alone, but she has made these first couple of weeks so much easier.  We've actually been able to enjoy having a new baby and Anna Claire is thriving as well.  Such a blessing.  I just wish there was something I could do to show my appreciation to her.  It's kind of like God's grace.  There's nothing I can do to adequately say "thanks"....that's not always easy for me to accept.  I think Mom is tired today though, but she wouldn't admit it for the world.
