I can't complain.

awwww, look at that face! look at it! you could just melt from the sweetness of it all, couldn't you?!?! seriously, is that not the cutest sprout you have ever seen?!?
ok, ok! i'll stop gushing over my child now. ;)

so, anyways, we have made it 4/5ths of the way through our first full "alone" week and i must say it was much better than i expected. we all had our "moments" (including mommy) but i think we came through without too many scars! ha!
i am pretty proud of myself too. we left the house 3 of the 4 days! we shopped at a craft store, went to playgroup and attended library story time. and ALL of that went amazingly well because my boy slept through 90% of it! hooray! really, it went SO well that i have plans to leave the house at least 3 times next week too. lets hope it all goes just as well. heck, i'm even ready to tackle the zoo on the next beautiful day!
(clearly i'm deranged or living in a fantasy world... whatever you do don't disturb the crazy lady. allow her to continue to believe in the magical world she has created for herself! there is NO reason to tell her that you know the baby will eventually "wake up" and everything will be blown all to hell. just sit back and nod encouragingly as she spouts her happy drivel. really, it is the best thing you can do for her.)

You are super mom! Here you are with a brand new baby, and you go out almost every day. Wow! I hope you get to do the zoo soon, and I hope it goes well!

And yes, he IS the cutest little Sprout ever! I am totally melting....I wanna hug him and kiss his sweet head! Give him and extra snuggle for me.

OOOOHHH! He is a-d-o-r-a-b-l-e! ANd I think you should go to the zoo...you can do it and it will be so much easier while he is a sleeping munchkin.

Congrats on your week - a few more hours and you made it!

He is seriously the most BEAUTIFUL boy ever!!! And very like Bean :-) Great work on your first week. Take each day at a time and sleep when you can. Stay crazy. It's the best way to be. Well it works for me. :-D

It's great that your getting out with the kids. If you can make it a habit now, Sprout will be used to it and it won't be a big deal as he grows. Good job, Mom.
