Three weeks. Right on time.
Emily, in response to the infamous “Third Week Growth Spurt”, is now requesting more milk than we are able to produce. I say “we”, but you know what I mean. But don’t think she’s going hungry or anything. It’s a natural process and Jan is currently increasing her milk production as we speak. Mother nature is pretty darn smart that way. The end result of all this is that Emily:
- now feeds every two hours instead of every three
- constantly wriggles and stretches while making grunting monkey noises (newfound muscles?)
- doesn’t sleep as much
- is very uncomfortable
On the positive side, Emily’s conjunctivitis has all but disappeared, she looks around the room in wonder at all the things she can see now, her eyes don’t cross nearly as much as they used to, and I’m pretty sure a full-fledged smile is just around the corner. In other words: she is slowly developing into something that more closely resembles a human being.
Yay! A human being. Much better than the hobgoblin she was formerly. I demand one photo per post minimum.
Didn’t you see the new banner?!?
Great banner – it’s like she’s looking down on us all and taking everything in. x
Delete that last comment – just looked again and she’s so obviously asleep!!!
Banner? help an old nana out? where is the banner, and where is my Emily? Jan – you keep up the good work, being Mom isn’t easy, but obviously you have what it takes. Grab those naps whenever you can, nothing more important than Emily. Burp across your lap, you’ll both be more comfortable.
Love to all,
Nana Adrian
@Mommy – if you look at the home page for this website (www.joshzam.com) you will see that, as per the request of one Margret Mary McGrath, I have substituted the usual pretty flowers at the top of the page with a pretty little lady. That image is the “banner”. That banner is Emily.
checked there this morning, not there, now checking from work “I see Emily”, yes she is gorgeous
thanks
Hi Josh,
This is Meron, Marli’s boyfriend.
I just spoke to her a couple minutes ago on MSN, she said she would like to visit you guys on the 24th or 25th of October for just over a week. She promises to cook for you and Jan.
Her internet is really limited and her phone isn’t working yet, but she’ll have more info soon. Write to her at marlim @ gmail.com.
Congrats on the birth of your daughter. She’s beautiful.
Best,
Meron
