Yes, it's been forever since I wrote on my blog. And, while I would love to promise and make a commitment to write each week, I think I am coming to grips with the reality of my new life with Vehd. In the meantime, I will keep trying. Lots has happened since I last wrote almost 2 monts ago --
- Vehd has become 2 months old and a delicious 11 lbs. in weight. He was born at 6lbs 6oz and getting his weight up was one indicator of decent growth. I was delighted when he weight in at 11 lbs, this week. For a detailed Vehd update, send me email.
- My grandmother visited and we had a wonderful visit with her. She helped me through one of the most monumental experiences of my life. We shared in understanding and learning Vehd, reading together, sewing and knitting, starting a vegetable garden and exploring my journey going forward as an educator. Not bad, with a newborn, eh?
- We've had several firsts after Vehd's arrival -- Vamshi and I got out on our first date, we got out to the first of several parties, Vehd had his first restaurant outing -- not that it meant that much to him but it means that we can resume our social life, we had our first dinner guests and we cooked for/with them, Vehd visited the golf course.
- I am starting to run again, this time, with the goal of getting back to my usual fitness level and then doing a half marathon. Anyone interested?
- My mother is visiting again. Her trips are always fun -- she and I accomplish projects I never think I will get around to. I am excited about what we might do this time.
Several other things have happened, many of which my postpartum brain cannot recall. In a nutshell, it has been a joyful ride!
