On October 8th I spent the day at the fair. I LOVE the fair. And I meant to post all of these photos later that night, but things came up--like my premature water breakage and whatnot. You can read a nice, concise version of my birth story here if you'd like.
In any case, October and half of November have flown by virtually unrecorded on Birdwoman. So to catch up a bit, I spent most of October visiting my brand new, shiny baby in his fancy river view suite at Mass. General. And when I wasn't there, I was on my way there. Or on my way home from there. Or I was home and chained to my fancy hospital-grade breast pump. Which, despite its fanciness, is not hands-free. And so I spent most of October unable to type. And I've spent the first part of November adjusting to life at home with a new baby, which has been hard. Sleep-deprived is not a good look for me.
And so here we are. And here are some animal friends I met at the fair a few hours before all of the shennanigans went down:
It's progress anyway...good to see you look in here.
ReplyDeleteOh many blessings during adjustments. I, too, spent a tiny bit of time in an incubator near Mass General at the start of my life.... only a couple days, I wasn't early, but VERY stubborn about having been induced and not very interested in coming out, though they dragged me.
ReplyDeleteI love the crazy haired rooster! Thanks for checking in and keeping us updated.
Hehehe I can see most of these turning into your illustrations. I love the horses - Eyes Open, Eyes Closed, Eyes Closed.
ReplyDeleteI have a feeling someone's eating a lot of grilled-cheese sandwiches! Again, many blessings and strength to you!
