so apparently there have been rumblings. the public wants new photos. well, the public wants what the public gets.
but first, a few notes. i went to the hematologist last friday and he ordered a bunch of tests. so this week, i had 12 tubes of blood taken for tests. 12, people. it was supposed to be 19, but they were able to combine some tests. what the heck. did the doctor not understand that i was in his office because i had LOST BLOOD??? my follow-up appointment is in about two weeks.
charis has been sleeping 5-6 hours at a time at night...the trick is getting that started late enough that it's beneficial to us :)
derek and i took a walk tonight...my first walk since charis was born. it was nice to get out. we put charis in the stroller, and that lasted about halfway thru the walk. then derek had to carry her because she was too fussy.
oh! big news! derek and i went to lunch and a movie yesterday. my mom watched charis, and we went to see wall-e. it was a great movie, and we recommend it to anyone. charis did pretty well at mom's...she cried for about half an hour after we left, and then ate and then slept the rest of the time there. it was so much harder than i thought it would be, leaving her there. she's 5.5 weeks old now, and it occurred to me that most people go back to work when the baby is 6 weeks old. there is no possible way i could imagine leaving her all day at this point. i wanted to cry when we left mom's, and we were only gone a few hours. that little fuss-bucket has wormed her way into my heart, for sure.
today we were at church all afternoon working on set build for the musical. derek had his power drill, i had charis. i put her in the ergo, and it worked fabulously. she slept in there most of the day. we didn't even use the infant insert -- she does so well holding her head up, i thought i'd try it...and she's so small, the back part is tall enough that it comes up to the bottom of her head and gives her head support anyway. it worked great, and she really liked it. yay!!
ok, you've done your dues, reading my ramblings. you will now be rewarded with pictures.
ok. actually there will be no pictures because, sadly, all the new pictures were somehow lost in transfer and then deleted from the camera automatically. :( we lost some cute ones. :(

I love the green dress you have her in in the below picture. Those are my favorite outfits, we have a gazzilion of them for Abigail. I have a bunch that are 6 months old that I could send but I think it will be too cold for Charis when she is big enough to wear them :(
Glad the testing has started to figure out what has gone on with you. It is hard to leave them isn't it! Of course, we don't get the opportunity to know what that feels like a lot!
