Surfacing

Hi friends! Sorry I've let more than a week go by without an update.

We are well.
I'm well.
Jackson is growing.
James is nearly.normal... but throws an occasional fit to test my sanity. Because, after all, a three.week.fatigued.nursing.hormone.imbalanced.mother.of.two needs to have her sanity tested twice daily for good measure. ;) It's all about posterity, folks.

Oh, and theHotness (I always forget about him these days) is well, too. Totally taking things in stride... with his usual Herculean efforts.

Our little(but bigger) family is on the cusp of finding our new.normal. Jackson is such a gift. He's even easier than James was... which is hard to imagine... but he is. Happy. Content. Beautiful. Because he is so good, he falls second.fiddle to his big brother. James is old enough to ask for things and get in to trouble... so he is still getting the lion's share of the attention during the day. This is where nursing is such a brilliant thing. No matter what, no matter who is hungry, thirsty, or dying for attention- I get to hold my little Ducking close and nurse for about an hour. Gazing, staring, praying, and falling... deeper in love with the tiny.two. *This cycle repeats every three hours or so.

This week is a big one for us. Moon and her boys are coming from Texas to stay the weekend with us. I can't wait. We miss them so much. I can't stand being so far away from her. But for three or four days, they are all ours!

I get my hair cut tomorrow! ***YES*** My appt. was the day Jax was born. Needless to say, I missed it. But my Duke is going to fix me up tomorrow night. I need it. In three weeks, I've lost 25 pound of my preggo weight... my maternity clothes fall off me- but I'm a far cry from being back in my regular clothes... my hair is LONG... and I'm all.together dissatisfied with myself. So this hair.cup will give me a mental lift, as well as a physical one, too!

Umms, oh- I'm doing some planting today. The weather is spectacular... windows open... gardenia breezes... airplanes streaking the sky... just beautiful. Some people appreciate 'retail.therapy.' I respond better to 'dirt.therapy.' So I plan to dive in to some moderate gardening.

That's it for now... here is a few pics from Lola, the iphone.




*Oh, I just remembered I haven't posted from Mother's Day... I'll touch on that next time.

Off to cook lunch.
Peace, Love, and begonias,

I am glad to hear that you are doing so well! We still need to plan a date and get us all together. I am dying to see you after all these years, meet this hubby I always read about and meet you two adorable boys! :)

Much Love!
