Back Again

It's been another week and it's hard to imagine life without Mara. I don't know what I did before her! Um ok that isn't entirely true. It hasn't been that long. But it's already so comfortable to have her around. I guess I thought there would be this earth shattering moment when I would just feel like "the mom". Instead it's been this natural transition. Kinda like when you hit a big birthday and you think you should feel different but you don't. It's neat actually. I haven't lost myself but there's this new extension of me and of Jayson and it's been pretty fun.

Mara is more awake now than she was last week. But she's still kept her awesome sleeping pattern. She'll sleep for about three to four hours at night which gives me plenty of sleep. She's always awesome during the day, but I think that's a credit to all the family she has that loves to hold her. She's growing lots and definitely feels heavier. I love when she sticks out her tongue and when she sneezes. She lost her umbilical chord a couple days ago and now she loves her bath time. She still loves to eat and poop too!

And she's already a genius - she helps her dad study all day long for the USMLE. Thank goodness that's going to be over soon.
