No news is good news?

Well, I officially have only left the apartment for two ten minute walks since I returned home on January 29, so I lack any information or insight about the outside world. On the inside, I have gotten up to 2.5 hours of consecutive sleep and am looking forward to the big 3 in the near future; I started watching season 1 of Friday Night Lights and so far it is excellent; I started watching "Dewey Cox: Walk Hard" and in spite of Will's promises, it was not excellent; and Edie has gained 80 grams.

In dog news, Sugar has at long last realized that the baby is here. Sugar is a lot cuter than she is observant. The dogs are both very cautious and inquisitive about her. Billy likes to stand baby guard, lying on the floor by her bassinet while she is sleeping and looking at me anxiously when she is crying while I change her. These three have a bright future as pals together.

And so I'll leave it at that, with some new pictures as well. Sweet dreams!

    How did you get her to be so sweet and quiet on the crying table? Watching movies, reading and relaxing is your prescription for now before spring buds pop and you and Edie will be tracking in English Gardens.

    This spring is going to be so wonderful for you, it will arrive just as little e and her mom are ready to go for walks. I have both my kids in the winter, so when the spring and summer arrives, we are ready for action, it's perfect.

    4 hours sounds like heaven. I know I'll get there! Edie hasn't been out since her birthdate. Our first trip to the pediatrician is on the 8th. Here's hoping for no blizzards!
