Ok, so like I said, if I don’t post every day or almost every day then it probably means I am in the hospital, which I was, and just got out and am fine and lovely and all is good so no need to worry. It was just a side effect of a medication I was on for my old evil witch disease (Crohn’s), and so I am not going to take that med anymore.

The best part, though, of coming home from the hospital, is how enthralled and in love my children are with me and I with them. To work out some of the unconscious worries of mommy being in the hospital again, we made a full out hospital room.

We got one of those tall, stand up fans (as the IV stand) a spatula taped to the top of the fan as the bag of fluids holder. A Ziploc bag filled with dirt as my water and potassium fluids. A piece of dental floss to connect the bag to the spatula,  Then we taped a zillion straws together to be the tubing that went into my arm, and a piece of tape to hold it in place. There. Mama is all better. Tomorrow Dr. Elijah will be patient Elijah and I will take care of him.

He was so sweet, he even massaged my feet with lotion and wrapped them in saran wrap (long story, another side effect from that awful medication).

So right now I am sleeping in my own bed with my two sweet babies and am happy and content and feeling better.

If you have called or emailed me in the last week, now you know why I have not responded. But will try to catch up quickly (but not too quickly) in the next week.

ps. how gorgeous is this mother and her sweet little newborn Mary Claire?  And how sweet and chubby is that little baby girl? As always, I will post more when I get some time but here is one of the photos from the mother’s maternity portrait session, which I will, too, post more photos of soon:)
