4 Weeks With Ingrid




Hello everyone! It's Eva. Ingrid has already been here a month! It's been a blur of round-the-clock feedings, dirty diapers, laundry, pumping.... and getting to know our beautiful little girl. Kirk and I love her more and more every day! She's really starting to be more communicative with those adorable baby "talking" noises and her expressive face. And it makes me so happy that she recognizes me now and knows that I'm her mama... or at least the person who feeds her. :)

But I'm still figuring out how anyone with a baby gets anything else done. It's a huge job just keeping a tiny, helpless human alive. Sometimes I find it hard to even shower or eat... let alone do any work. At this point I can't imagine how people with multiple children do it! I wish that I had a real maternity leave so I could devote all my time and attention to little Ingrid for these first few months... although I know in the long run I'll be grateful for the flexibility of being self-employed.

Thank you to all our family, friends, and blog contributors who have been such a big help with welcoming Ingrid into the world. Kirk and I appreciate it so much!
