Laundry :)

Of all the things people prepared us for before Q came along, laundry was not one of them. Granted, we knew we would be doing a lot more than normal, especially with our cloth diapers and the need to keep those clean, but the sheer amount of clothing that Q makes dirty amazes me. We seem to be doing a load of diapers once a day and then a load of clothing every 2 out of 3 days. Not too bad, but amazing, still. Here this little dude is, I can hold him in one hand, and he is using more clothing than I do. This is even after we learned we needed a drop cloth above and below him for changings, to keep from wasting extra clothes that aren't even on him yet.

Amazingly, after Katharine went through the birth, she is now enjoying watching the tv show "A Baby Story" here at the house. To me it is sort of like flashbacks, but it reminds her of how awesome the human body is and what she is capable of. It is true, that she watched the show prior to giving birth (or even being pregnant) but now there is a new light from which it is viewed.



We are loving our time together, our small family of three. Q is enjoying being the center of attention and I am getting used to the new slower, more relaxed schedule. So much so that I am writing this at 1:15 in the afternoon, having had breakfast but not yet lunch or getting dressed for the day. Ahh....pajamas.
