blog output down due to mom having big people's version of baby's cold. This picture not only depicts mom current state of haggardness but also the happy state of Francesca's head, that is, surgical tape -free! For future reference, massage oil and warm water made all the difference. Yay tape-freedom!

Sweet Pea hd a rough night with vaccine reaction fever (normal but nerve wracking for parents!!) and stuffy head. We are all happier this morning, but send healing vibes/thoughts / prayers our way...

Ms. Francesca Margot now weighs 10 lbs, 8 oz, she is 23 inches long and she now has her first round of vaccinations. (ouchy mama!) She has a teensy cold at the moment, hopefully passing quickly. Otherwise and in general, all is well.
