Day 14

I'm sorry to say that there is no picture today! Chris was busy today with taking the dog to Petco to be groomed and then cutting the grass and working in the yard. It totally went right past us both when it came to the picture taking! It was bound to happen sooner or later that we missed one day, though. Today was a day of trying to get some things done. I was busy trying to get some laundry done for us while Chris worked in the yard. Evelyn was very alert for most of today until the late afternoon. She took one lovely nap about 3 and a half hours long. Had I been thinking straight I would have also taken a nap, but I got caught up writing thank you notes. She's also been eating a lot today which gives me hope that I might get more than an hour and a half to two hours of sleep in between feedings tonight. I am trying a new tactic with the bottle she gets each day: give it to her at night around 9 or 10pm and see if she sleeps a longer amount of time after the bottle. Wish me luck on that one!

Tomorrow my friend, Clare, is coming over with her husband and twin girls to have lunch and meet Evie. The twins are nearly 5 already, which is hard to believe! Clare and I taught together my first year down here and she had just found out she was pregnant around the time when I decided to switch schools. Clare tells me her girls are excited to meet the new baby and it should be a nice visit. I'm also trying to line up some visitors here and there during the next week so I am not too lonely when Chris goes back to work. Then, next weekend Sylvia comes into town to meet her granddaughter and that will be a lot of fun! Besides my mom, no one from either family lives close so it's all the more special that family members are coming into town over the next month or so.

I promise to remember to take a picture tomorrow for Day 15! I can barely believe it's already been two weeks!
