Sounds crazy, right? I mean, what could be so hard about taking care of a sweet little baby? Well, it's not Sally who makes it hard. I make it hard by trying to do more than just take care of her. Trying to incorporate my normal routine back into my life while also taking care of Sally is really difficult. And some days Sally just needs to be held, like yesterday. And then there's always my "new mom" worries that the little bumps on her face aren't infant acne but a horrible rash that will lead to her utter demise. Things get very dramatic up in this house sometimes! But I tell you what... little miss Sally Jane is totally, TOTALLY the best thing that's every happened to me. It's hard, but I can already see why people have 2 or *gasp* 3 children! And I can't believe how fast she's growing and changing before my very eyes! Sometimes it annoys me that I can't go out with her yet because I want to show her off to the world... yep, already a proud parent, and Sally doesn't even do anything yet :)
Here are a couple more pics of Sally during weeks 3 and 4:

A few days ago I had a dream where we were talking about baby-caring, and you were telling me your baby nursed almost a whole day straight, and I was like "Oh yeah, I remember those days. I had a few where Shep literally nursed for 12 hours without stopping." Funny, eh? It's true about him nursing--he would sleep while still sucking and refused to do anything but nurse during the day. No more days like that anymore though . . .
