After my mom left, Andy and I braced for a week on our own with Kelly. It was a lot to juggle caring for her (oh heck, let’s be honest, figuring OUT how to care for her), laundry, food, dishes, sleep, and our relationship (it’s exciting when neither one of us is holding her and we can hug without a baby or baby bump in the way!). We figured it out, but there was definitely some crying that did not come from the baby that week.
It was additionally lovely to have our bathtub clog to a disgusting depth that I did not know was possible from a tub, and to have to get on the phone and haggle with our insurance, who were debating over whether or not they would cover Andy’s cancer care. Apparently, calling when you are a sleep deprived mother of an 11 day old baby demanding that they cover your husband’s cancer care is very effective! And the lady I spoke with was very nice (and it wasn’t up to her to decide anyway). So, whew! That was a rough start to our week!
But we managed a few pictures, including some of the Triumphant Return of Goobers the Wonder Dog!
Time to read!

We totally have a photo album on our computer entitled T and A, containing pictures of Treasure and Andy! I love that we share that sense of humor! This whole baby busines is insanely hard, but also pretty awesome. Thanks for the support!
