sleepless in salem

I can't sleep tonight. Bebe is all snuggled up next to Daddy and I thought I'd might as well get up and write a bit. They were so sweet when I left them, my two beautiful people that look alike. A few hours ago while I was getting ready for bed it seemed like a great idea to chop on my hair. I've been wanting to cut it every since I had Plum but I just haven't been able to find the time or bring myself to spend the money on a haircut I probably will hate anyway. Right after I had her it was all falling out and now she's pulling it out so I just wear it up in an unwashed-for-two-weeks ugly ponytail;) You think I'm joking about the two weeks. I guess I've been letting myself go. Anyway, off came 4 inches. Of course I didn't get it even and it's funny looking. Rem said he cut it straight across in back tomorrow night. What a guy! I just wish I could be more put-together or hip or something. I wish I could look like my friend Megan. She's so cool. I'm just an old mom with dirty hair.

And then there where three...

I'm back! And here she is...our beautiful little girl. What an amazing journey the past 3 months have been. As I'm sure you know, we welcomed our new little Plum into our lives on July 4th. I can't even begin to explain how amazing these last months have been other than to say that this has been the best and most beautiful time of my life. I've learned so much and feel so blessed that this sweet little girl has chosen me and changed my life forever. I am so in love with this tiny person, this sweet pudding dreamgirl firefly pancake...who is only all of my very best parts.

I was induced because of preeclamsia which was a pretty wild start and certainly not how I was expecting it to go down but considering the birth went really smoothly. Poor Plum did get off to a rough start and had trouble eating her mommy snacks for the first 6 weeks but by now everything is going just great. It's late and Daddy and Plum are already asleep on the couch but I just wanted to shoot off a quick hello and post a couple pictures. I'll write more soon.
