Good times in Maren World

SO uncomfortable!

Check out my curls, people!
Bet you can't guess who my daddy is!

I LOVE all these songs and lights and colors! I'm probably gonna be a genius.

Anyway, I am cured of my "I forget to take pictures" thing. Can you tell?

We're heading to Pawleys with the babe for her first beach trip ever. It is so exciting! And I'm glad that all the family will be there...many arms to hold her when she screams!!!

Hope the weather is nice!

BTW, it has taken me 6 hours so far to pack for the trip tomorrow and I am nowhere NEAR through. Ellen always said it was a pain b/c of all the stuff you have to pack, but I never realized what she meant until now. No wonder they just bought 2 of a lot of things. Good call!

The Stinker

The child has gas like you would not believe. And she makes an "O" face when she's about to let it rip (unless, of course she is screaming in pain!)

I promise she's not always asleep!

But heavens, she's so sweet when she's sleepin!

Sorry I haven't posted in so long. It is amazing how much time passes so quickly. I want to press pause and just stew in these moments with O and the baby. She's already 3 weeks old!

I've never been more exhausted or more overjoyed in my life.
