My mom is here now, which has been a HUGE blessing. Poor Jensen was getting pretty exhausted playing superman, taking care of the baby, me, and all the household chores. He's been my caretaker for 3 weeks now because I came down with a pretty awful cold one week before my due date, and right when I got better, I went into labor. Plus, having a home birth means no nurses attending to me immediately after the delivery. Jensen's been doing it all without a single complaint. Sigh....am I a lucky girl or what?

It's fun seeing my mom interact with Sophia. It gives me a glimpse of how she interacted with baby Jennifer! She gets really excited when Sophia cracks a little smile (really, I think she's just exercising her muscles, but it's convincing enough), and it makes me wonder if that is the reason why I smile so much. So much positive reinforcement for just a little curl of the lip.
