Things here are still going well. Tom is back at school and I am managing fine with the kids on my own (although I am really looking forward to the upcoming visits from my mom and then Barb!!) We had a fun New Year's Eve at the Debaltzo's, there is a picture on their blogg. Tom has jumped right back into the thick of things at school, his description to my inquiry of how his day went was something like "Fine, boring classes in the morning and then off to the clinic." I am recovering well but can't wait until I can say I am "recovered!" I will definately try for a regular delivery with my next child, recovery after having Hayden was really easy and quick. Although I feel pretty good my incistion still hurts if I do any amount of walking like going to the store or too much housework. Fortunately it hasn't even been a month yet so I am still confident I will feel like myself again eventually. Hayden has been living in a dream world with Tom home everyday and woke up yesterday and today asking for him right off. He has mastered a game called Kameo on the 360 as well as his new Leapster LMax games... we're going to have buy him some new games! Danica continues to be a dream baby. There is definately some magic to having a second child because I get to just enjoy her instead of doing all the stressing and worrying that I did with Hayden as a new mom. I could just sit and cuddle with her all day. Fortunately, she is so mild tempered that she would let me just sit and hold her all day while she stared at the wall with a silly grin. But, even more fortunate is the fact that she doesn't require me to hold her all day and is very content to just hangout on her own and easily drifts off to sleep when she's tired. We truly couldn't ask for more.
Well I best go grab the laundry before she wants to eat again. I hope all of your different transitions into 2006 go smoothly, keep us posted!
