So... this week I'm going to do everything I know I'm supposed to do. I figure if I commit to one week, it won't seem as daunting as a complete life change and will maybe even stick. Day 1 has gone well. It felt great to be showered, blow dryed and dressed by 7. I kind of felt all dressed up with no where to go, but I did feel more like working at the counter than laying on the couch. Wish me luck!
Maddy is NOT on board with this whole what-we're-supposed-to-do thing. She is having a rough day. We were supposed to go and finally take more pics today, but she's been grumpy and off kilter all day, so I just took some outside during a brief moment without tears. She looks so sad in some of them!

Katie! I think those are some of the most beautiful pictures of the baby that you have taken, that anyone has taken! Her little rosy complexion is so complimented by the outfit you put her in... these are great pics- really. And how did you manage to get yourself together- was she sleeping? If it makes you feel better, than go for it, but I wouldn't call you lazy at all. Far from it, especially when so much of your time is occupied by something, or rather somebody, that demands your full attention, which is very different than your typical 9 to 5. Therefore, I feel that what you choose to do with the "free" (for lack of a better word, since it's contingent on Maddy being asleep) time you have should be exactly that- your choice. If showering, going through closets, cleaning, etc. is what will give you a sense of accomplishment for you, then that's great, but I think that you couldn't possibly be a better mama to Maddy, so in my eyes, you should feel very accomplished and as proud of yourself as I am of you. Eh-meh...
I agree with everything Kara said. I looked at this post on my phone in my philosophy class and the huge guy next to me looked at me because I let out a little giggle looking at those pictures :)
Soft n' creamy our wee Maddy is. Hard to choose which photo to use for my new desktop. I have the final photo at home and No. 8 at work, and love that on both I can see her neck and her shiny lips and her heart-shaped chin. Maddy rocks. Quintessential babyness.
