Landed

We had a few exhausting days since we've been home...but mommy is starting to feel like a real person again...at least so far this morning. Una started waking up at all hours of the night (and none of us have gotten much sleep) and she had her second round of shots on wednesday. The good news is she got a good bill of health from the doctor and is now 12lbs 3ozs and 25-1/4" long. She's still very low on the weight charts but is catching up on length. The bad news is she had a fever all yesterday and last night due to the vaccines, so she spent most of yesterday crying. Poor Baby Belle. I'm glad to report, however, that the fever is gone and she seems back to her chipper self this morning.

I also realized that today is september 11th and I can't believe that we were watching the World Trade towers burn and crumble eight years ago. It seems that each year on this day the weather is absolutely gorgeous, a perfect late summer day with lots of sunshine, just as it was in 2001...perhaps a little tribute to those lost. All i can say is, thank you Jesus we no longer have Bush and Dicky Boy in the white house. We can only hope the world will be a better place for our little ones in the coming years, than it has been in the last 8. Although, given the fact that Obama is not Tinkerbelle, it's going to take some time. But i digress...
