Instructions for the Return to Normalcy after having a baby:

Get out of the house every day for an hour, doing something
you used to do...even if it means answering the sweet siren song
of your local Target store.


Find your BFF's and let them spoil you with laughter.


Keep taking pictures. (The camera will never know the explosive sounds from under this lovely blue blanket.)


Graciously greet and thank your food fairies. We were lucky enough to have three this week!


Get outside for some fresh air and sunlight.


Keeping speaking softly to the baby, so eventually he will stop staring at you like he's been abducted by a family of aliens.
