Tonight I do have some time to catch up! It's been a great day - and one advantage of having my mom here right now is that she likes to try new recipes. Today she treated us to a yummy brunch with apple-pancakes (that are baked in a skillet in the oven - and rise up all fluffy!) from my Gooseberry Patch All Through the Seasons book.
My husband treated me too - he took care of the baby after I fed her at 6 a.m.-ish and brought her back to eat again at 8:30 a.m.-ish and then I slept til a time I am almost ashamed to write (ok, it was almost 11 a.m.!!). But after this week of averaging 5-7 hours of interrupted sleep per night and trying to be up fairly early each morning, I think I wore myself out.
Andrew and Anna continue to dote on their sister and want to help all the time - they can't wait til I've got her fed or she wakes up, so they can hold her. Today was bath day again - and A & A helped dress Miriam afterwards ... poor kid!! :)
Miriam was a little dazed and confused by the time it was all over ... but she sure looked adorable! :)

You're keeping the priorities straight, Conny. Until Miriam is sleeping through the night (especially!) you need to rest when she's napping (20min was my midwife's orders). And enjoy the Saturday morning staying in bed as often as your family can allow -- what a blessing to be able to recharge!
I remember a friend did that for me one day when my youngest was still a newborn and my dh was busy with fieldwork -- She had her own toddler plus my six to keep quiet enough for me to sleep =)
I miss your updates, but don't let the computer come before your family or your sleep!
=)
