Oh what a beautiful morning

My morning, thus far...

It was nice while it lasted.

Blessings

Last Friday 2Bit and I went to the mall to, um, "walk around." There was a bit of shopping to be done, but nothing too damaging to our bank accounts. While we were walking through JC Penney, Neala started fussing a bit so I picked her up. As we left the Baby section to scout out a feeding location, a sweet lady walked by and said "Oh, that's a new baby." I responded and we talked for a few minutes while the lady admired my little one. As we ended our brief conversation, instead of saying "Have a nice day" or some other typical concluding statement she said "Blessings."
That struck me as a wonderful thing to say. I think I'll keep that in my vernacular for future baby interactions or, for any conversation.

Blessings!

almost a month

With 3 1/2 weeks down, my little one has kept me busy with some freaking out here and there. After spending time in the NICU and learning more than I cared to know, I think we've finally got it figured out. "They" say breastfeeding is natural. Yeah, it's not; "they" are wrong. The act of the body producing milk for breastfeeding: Yes, that's natural. The transfer from mother to baby: not so much. Still I think we've figured it out...finally.

Anyway, the purpose of this post is share pure cuteness. Little Miss Neala apparently loves her new bear and one afternoon last week, after a lovely nap, decided to talk to her. So enjoy the cuteness.
