NM is already 8 days old today. Yesterday was her due date, but I cannot imagine having to be pregnant for this whole last week! We are adjusting, but are sooo grateful to friends and family. We've been provided with wonderful meals (including my mother in law who called in chinese take out for us, even though she lives in Wisconsin!), and my sister has generously fed us and maintained my sanity. Although she has slipped in to her role as eldest sister:
On my way to Costco on NM's 5th day of life, with JG and EG also in tow, I called to tell Boone something or other. I had to leave a message (because when you both have three children, your communication exists through messages or texts only). I conquered Costco and got back to the car to find I had missed 6 calls and 3 VM from my dear Boonie. Panicked, I did not wait to listen to the messages but called her back immediately, worried that something horrible had happened.
And all I got was a great big lecture about how I shouldn't be going to Costco with all three of my children so soon after having a baby and how DARE I over do it when she is in town and will watch my children and I better go home and rest and not even think about repeating my folly. I feel so loved.

And, you know I would do it all over again tomorrow if you pull that stunt again. :) What are sisters for? ;) ;)
erika,
your next call should have been to NF and me so that we could have rained some pain on her head too.
Seriously Toot.
You don't have to prove your super powers to us. we know you.
just chill out, and ask for help.
