Today.

Well, technically this photo is from yesterday.

I wanted to write about Quinn's birth today. So much to remember. 5 nights ago, almost to to the minute! Kind of crazy to think about. I'm not sure if it feels like a year ago, or just like yesterday.

It didn't quite happen. The writing about it part. I'm not exactly sure what we did instead (besides a quick visit to Park Avenue Pediatrics for his first appointment, & visits from a few people), because the days & nights are sort of a continuous blur right now, & the repetition (eating, sleeping, diaper & repeat) makes things fuzzy.

And the amount of photos I have right now - that I LOVE - is sort of overwhelming.  

So for now - a photo from our first walk. It was a block (well, two round-trip) & that's about all we (I) could manage for now. I'm trying to take it easy, but per usual, I'm not very good at that, & sometimes pushed limits result in quick (& painful) regret. Note to self: when they say don't lift anything heavier than your baby (e.g. the base of your stroller when getting into a cab), they aren't really kidding.

So. I didn't write today, & I didn't blog any of my favorite photos from our first days with Baby Q.  I didn't do a few small errands that I wanted to check off. I didn't write any of the thank you cards that I've been wanting to send. I didn't call the friends I've been meaning to call.

But Quinn slept this evening after I fed him, all curled up on my chest. He was perfectly quiet, perfectly still except for his calm breaths, & perfectly content with his situation & his day - so I can be too.

I'll post photos tomorrow (& tell the story of the crazy woman, of course - she was a gem of a human being who just has no business being a mother, let alone touching my child).
