busy days, baby nights

The days have been flying by this week. I don't know why work has been so much busier this week, but I've had so much to do... not a bad thing at all since I've been very productive, which makes me feel good, and makes the days fly.

Yesterday was a busy evening as well. Dinner and Gwen's bedtime like usual, but then I took off as soon as I was sure she was down. Our friend Kerry just had a beautiful baby girl, whom they got off to a bit of a rough start with since she was tongue-tied and breastfeeding has been a bit difficult, so I was heading over to offer an extra pair of hands and help however I could.

The baby snuggling was a lovely bonus.

Ro is helping out a few days too, another friend Alex is going as well, and even Trav is going to stop by to give her a hand on Tuesday. I'll go back next Wednesday again.

Holding a newborn is always a nice treat. It's so easy to forget just how tiny they are when you haven't seen one in a bit. I thought the seven week old from Monday's BBQ was small, but Dana was even smaller! Even their little, squawk-like cries. Tiny and sweet.

Otherwise, life continues. Ate a strawberry from our garden this morning, and it was so amazingly sweet and lovely. Had some extra time, so I made a poached egg for the first time as well. Little pleasures are the best.

That's all I have for now, but check out my guest post over on The Path Less Taken. I was thrilled to have a chance to offer something up for her. Let me know what you think.
