Baby and Dad are napping, so I figure now is a good time to update that blog (who needs sleep? other than baby and dad, that is).

If you are wondering, Lily is doing great. She is 11 weeks today. Pudgy cheeks from eating so much. Cute dimples when she smiles and giggles at us. The past few days she’s been sleeping as much as six hours in a stretch at night. We are getting more routine now. Every other day I try to make it to the gym for a workout (I’m back to NROL4W, stage 1). In the mornings while I’m feeding Lily, the husband does his workout routine downstairs. We sneak in some walks and easy trips to the store or University Village here and there. And spend a lot of time staring at Lily, trying to get her to laugh, smile, sleep, or eat.

Our favorite pic of her so far:

Lily hated bathtime at first. We would do the fastest bath possible just so that she wouldn’t cry so much. We also bathed her maybe once a week (Tip: newborns don’t get all that dirty. It’s not like they’re playing in the mud or something) because she dreaded it so much. Just recently, though, like last week, I noticed the screaming fits dwindle down. So, she’s getting used to it. She still hates being cold (and wouldn’t you?) but at least now we don’t feel like we’re torturing her anymore.

Life with Lily is splendid. She is so much fun, and I have never spent so much time gazing at a sleeping human. I can’t ask for much more right now.

Ok. I could ask someone to take these pregnancy pounds off of me. Especially seeing as how summer decided to descend upon Seattle this week. What’s up with that? People keep telling me that you shed those pounds so fast when you breastfeed. Well. Hello. Still waiting. Hm. Gym it is, I suppose.

Guess who’s stirring right now. Back to baby. More updates to come, at some point.
