SHE'S BACK... post-partum glory...

Yeah- it did take me till noon to get dressed, but Lily got a bath... Isn't she the cutest naked baby?

I barely buttoned some REAL jeans... My wedding rings fit!! AND i painted my nails... I tried a new recipe (because it was yummy in the hospital) Chicken Fried Steak...

It was just like homemade chicken nuggets except you start with cube steak (i think) and you make a white sauce gravy to go over it... i got the recipe from Better Homes and Garden's Cookbook.

AND... I made bread... (for real-- i even did the dishes... todd started having black-out moments... memories of days gone past... pre-pregnancy hallucinations of non-paper plates and dessert even when we don't have company...) As we were climbing into bed-- it was dark although my world was still full of sunshine-- I asked, "Is their really such a thing as post-partum depression?" Seriously, there needs to be more studies on mid-partum depression... who can be depressed loosing 20 pounds in two days, holding a perfect, tiny baby, or having pants that stay up over your bum??? Yeah-- I know, first day with no mother-in-law and I did pretty well... So, today I get to stay in my jammies all day and look at pictures of how productive I was yesterday. Or-- I'll clean my kitchen floor-- Leah just spilled Ellie's old bowl of cereal all over the floor... while I was wiping she was madly trying to eat the soggy marshmallows... Gross!!
