*More Pictures!

Here we have a few more pictures. I know the week's not over yet, but she's quiet in Lance's arms for a few minutes and I'm taking advantage of it.

Parker's 2nd Week

We're trying to get some sleep over here, but it's not happening quite as much as I had fantasized about. The main problem is that my body is using its resources breastfeeding and healing from delivery, so when I don't get any sleep- I have nothing left to protect my body. I feel like my shoulders are almost out of their sockets and yesterday I couldn't really use my arms without insane pain. It's a lot better today, thanks to tigerbalm and some massage from Lance, but still... PLUS, I think they're better because Lance took care of Parker most of last night, which is good for me, but now HIS body is feeling the lack of sleep and he's teaching 3-5 yr olds all day. Everyone says that this first month is the worst and that her sleeping will even out as she develops, but man oh man, is it hard to take care of a baby when you can't use your arms and your husband is working.

Otherwise, everything about Parker is cute as hell. The smiling pictures are all from when she fell asleep nursing today. She only smiles when she's asleep because she's not old enough to do it consciously. SO CUTE. She also had a nice time in her first bath. Lance keeps wrapping her up in a polkadot burrito and taking her to the park with Rozo. Oh- the pictures of Rozo are from when Parker was crying and Rozo was desperately trying to kiss her to calm her down. Also very very CUTE.

Alright. Parker has noticed that both the pacifier and Lance's pinkie are not producing milk, so I'm back on duty. Moooooooooooooooooo.
