Apologies

I apologize for not having updated in a long time, however I have a very good excuse. Newborns are difficult and take up  time. Especially since my baby is what has been lovingly referred to as a "velcro baby". She does not like being put down if I'm not right next to her playing with her. She's getting better though. Right now she's sitting in this cute little chair that used to be J's sister's. It's reclined a little since she can't quite hold her head up all the time yet. I guess since I never actually updated when she was born I'll tell you a bit about that now.
Monkey was born August 30th at 2:40pm. I had gone in the night before at 7pm to be induced, but didn't even get a room until 8:30, I think. I don't remember much about specific times. I do know that it seemed ridiculously easy compared to what I've been told about labor. I kept having a conversation with the nurses, J, and my mom in between pushing. J found that hilarious.
She was 7 lbs 8.5 oz and 18.5" long when she was born. I was expecting a much bigger baby considering I was 8 lbs 6 oz and 22" long when I was born. And I was the smallest of my mom's three kids.
Two days after Monkey was born my former assistant manager's wife gave birth to a baby girl and two days after that a former high school classmate gave birth to a baby girl. To balance that out another former coworker had a boy about a month before Monkey, my sister's due with a boy in a week (exactly!), and my former boss is due with a boy in a month. It's going baby crazy here in the midwest!

I'm gonna go play with my adorable daughter now, but I'll leave you with a picture.
