my holiday

For those who don't know, I had my baby over the holidays. Yay, baby!

She's adorable. She's cute. She's my little bird, tiny and fragile and full of strange noises and desires that I have not been able to decipher.

For those who have had babies, you can probably guess that I'm completely exhausted although I'm told that the exhaustion won't peak until around 6 weeks. I feel like I chose the blue red pill and my life will never be the same - as if I've moved to some other existence. I understood what happened intellectually once one had a baby before I got pregnant but it's quite a different thing to live it. It's a bit surreal but still good.

No posting for awhile - at least not until I get more sleep and figure out a way to manage my schedule better.

And here I thought I had chosen the red pill.

Sorry to say, but the schedule management is always tricky... they keep changing the rules on you!

Ah, you're right. I should have wrote "red pill." Too sleep deprived to remember which pill was supposed to be what, but yeah, I feel like I took the pill where everything changed and I can't go back.

I've seen the Matrix a ridiculous number of times. :-)

It's true you can't go back, but it gets better. In a month she'll be smiling at you, and that really makes it worthwhile. Cliched, but true.

WOW! Huge congrats. She sounds adorable. She'll grow up eating some great food, that's for sure. Little bird...that is so sweet. They do communicate in such interesting ways. Good vibes to you and your daughter. I can't wait to hear more but if it's not until 6 months from now I'll certainly understand :)
