Grandma!

It's been great having my mom here to spend time with us, supervise post-pregnancy meal production and to bond with Margaret. Sarah had her first couple doses of recovery herbs today and she was very brave in swallowing the rather medicinal tasting brew. Of course, she was able to do the induction herbs so I had no reason to suspect this would go any differently.

You can see from some of the photos that Margaret's hair is starting to get a bit long. It's growing a bit over her ears now. Thankfully, her back hair isn't exhibiting similar growth. In looking at her hair, it's amazing to think about how much she has changed in just the 9 days she's been out in the world.

The longer she's out, the harder it is to imagine life without her and what it was even like before her. As Sarah says, "I can't believe she was once inside of me."

I'm feeling pretty clobbered today so tonight's post will be relatively short and mostly just be a few photos.


婆婆 loves Margaret!



And Margaret loves 婆婆 right back

What a feast of family and friends!! Such a treat to see everyone. It's a time for giving thanks for having them in your lives, for sure. I'll be doing that too- being thankful that you are so surrounded with love and interest and good advice! Love you! M/R

Dear Uncle John,

The pictures of Popo with Margaret are so cute! I hope Margaret is having a good time out in the world. Why do they call it a Baby Bjorn?

Hi Philip, it's called a Baby Bjorn because that's one of the most popular brands of baby carriers. It's a bit like how some people call all facial tissue, "Kleenex" after the brand.
