Mother's Day!

It was my first Mother's Day as an actual mother, and I had such a fabulous day! Thanks to Rose and Mike, and to everyone who sent cards :)

We started off with some snuggle time after her 5:45am feeding:

Then we took her "official" three-week-old photos:

Mike let me take a long, relaxing shower, then we headed out for a hike at Fort Snelling State Park:

We breastfed - in public! I think this was a huge step for me to get over my fear of leaving the house with her :)

Then we got lunch (turkey sandwich and Diet Coke - surprise, surprise) and picked up some food from the grocery store for dinner. Mike let me take a two hour (!) nap, then Rose and I had some quality time together while he cooked.

 

We ate some wonderful beer can chicken, double-baked potatoes, spring green salad, and Java Chip ice cream.  Now Mike is in bed while I wait up for her 10:30pm feeding...

Thanks, Mike and Rose, for the lovely day!!
