Baptisms and Butterflies


Ben and I, as well intentioned parents, started off the week taking a Baptism class at church in preparation for Lilah's baptism.  The class was about 15 couples, some still pregnant, some with car seats full of sleeping babes. We realized everyone had not only registered for this class but also already had a date scheduled for their baptisms.  Oops.  We already looked like superstars.   It didn't take long for Lilah to take the class by storm and have a full scale 60 minute long cataclysmic metldown.  Ben and I took turns rocking her, giving her the paci, removing her from the room into the nearby empty sanctuary,... but this chickadee wasn't having it.  Luckily, all the parents were sympathetic and we just scared the crap out of the pregnant couples.  We're just happy they didn't put us in the naughty box.
Ben doesn't know about this purchase... shhhh

Being back to work has been a much harder transition than I thought it would be.  It's been wrought with tears, fatigue and my mind feeling uber "rusty".  Getting up at night to feed her and heading into work on less and less sleep has been tough, mostly because I feel too tired to enjoy her when I get home.  But somehow we'll all adjust to this craziness.

It's been a joy having my mom here.  We could NOT do it without her right now.  Lilah gets plenty of giggles, songs and attention this way.  We just hope we're not wearing out Grandma!  We're still waiting on a daycare spot... darn lists take forever!  Lilah, Grandma O and I headed to the butterfly gardens in downtown Indy and loved it!  So cool!  Lilah has really started to dig being outdoors.  When she's screaming her head off, outdoors we go.
