Here's what's on my desktop these days. It's my favorite picture of the kids. This was taken on Mother's Day at my mom's house. Many thanks to "Aunts" Sandy, Heather, Stacey and Carley for the soooo cute outfit!
Another blog that I check frequently was discussing sleep deprivation in moms with babies. It was just funny until the other day when I was in the McDonald's drive thru. I had placed my order, given the girl my credit card, which she swiped and handed back, and was waiting for my food when she poked her head out of the window, looked down the building and then looked back at me....I forgot to pull forward.
Maybe another hour of sleep would do me good.

One way that we can effectively torture our children is to dress them in things that they never will wear when they are older.
Get me out of this stupid outfit!
One of the best sloutions I have found for getting Rachel to sleep is co-sleeping. It's like she's right in bed with me but protected by a bar so no one rolls and it is an add-on to the bed so we don't loose any sleep space either! Plus, I don't have to get my lazy self out of bed to change her diaper in the middle of the night. There are pockets right on the end of the co-sleeper that you can stuff all that stuff in. Now if only she will sleep through the night...
Happy Mommy's Day to all those who have kiddos! Ethan asked us yesterday why there was a Mother's Day. Of course I chimed in with "a day to honor your favorite person in the whole world....your mom". Ben's answer was a little different but probably more true..."Hallmark".
I thought as a tribute to Mother's Day 2007, I would post pictures of the other moms in Rachel's life....Her Nana (my mom)-top and her Grandma (Ben's mom) - bottom
Rachel turned 6 weeks old on Mother's Day. I can't believe it's been that long already. And, I can't believe how much she's changed in that short time. She's started smiling... and attempts to laugh but you have to work with her. Though at 4 a.m. she's usually wide awake and will smile at just about anything (if you can keep your eyes open).
And, finally she also has transitioned from that "cute baby cry" to the full out screams!

Rachel's first trip to the grocery store with mom...
- 2 trips to the bathroom to change her diaper,
- 1 feeding
- six people stopping us to look at her
- oh yeah, and 2 weeks worth of groceries (which I think is what I came for)
