Bliss



Nothing is sweeter. Life may be a continuous cycle of baby care right now, but in the midst of the nursing-in-the-wee-hours and catching oozed poop before it spreads all over the sofa, nothing is sweeter.

No, nothing. We are undone by the presence of this precious child.

I am late to announce the winner of my Guess the Birth Date contest: Congratulations to Tarie, who guessed the birth date and Molly's weight to the exact ounce. Downright scary, that! Tarie, pop me an email and we'll work out getting your prize to you.


Also, I welcome you to visit Nicole's blog to read her beautiful account of Molly's birth. Reading about the birth from my doula's perspective definitely has been one of the highlights of my First Week With Molly. Nicole is not only a skilled and sensitive doula, but she is also a gifted writer. Do take the time to read my story through her words.


And now I'm off to eat a tomato sandwich, fresh from the vine and lovingly crafted by my son Jonathan, who, by the way, has been treating both Molly and me like royalty all week long. I could get used to this. (Though I'd better not.)
Have a wonderful weekend! And I promise I'll write more when I'm less sleep-deprived.

She is beautiful and, at least in this pic, it looks like she has daddy's nose.

Adorable!!!

Ohhhh, seeing her picture makes me want another one. *Gasp* Mathyn will only be turning One Year Old on the 15th (still in shock as to where the time went!) and we are still trying to figure out health stuff with him....Keeps repeating to self, "Too soon to be aching for another one, Too soon to be aching for another one..."

She is absolutely Precious! Keep the pictures coming, please! ;)

XOXOXO

She's beautiful!!!!!! I'm happy that your family is taking great care of you. I expected nothing less. You are blessed my friend!
May I also add that I read Nicole's account of Molly's birth and it brought me to tears. I have visited her site twice since then. I love reading the stories and watching the video clips!! I think I'm going to bookmark her sight... too bad I can't have anymore babies of my own! Babies, babies everywhere!

Ummm... I... won? *Doesn't know how to react.* *But knows how to react to the picture!* She is so cute! And yes, nothing is sweeter, or more beautiful than a precious newborn baby. :)

She is so precious. I am so happy to hear you are enjoying your "new mommyness".
Keep the pictures coming. They change so fast. How are all the older children doing?

Oh beautiful Jill!!! Visiting you yesterday was something that I needed! To hold little Molly and to hug you both was refreshing!

I am so happy for the two of you again! There is nothing better than that sweet newborn smell and those little grunty breaths. Ahh so happy for you all!!!!

Cute baby!

Just thought I point out that your profile still references 4 stunningly individualistic children. :)

Did Eric rig up the writer/mom/baby nest for you yet?
