The Zereps

Time sure has flown since last month! Here’s a quick summary of events:

Two days after Alice was born, and I was still at the “Baby Castle” (that’s what Arthur calls the hospital) my parents arrived from California for a 2 week visit. They ran errands, cleaned the house, and various other domestic activities so that I could recover and take care of Alice. They also entertained Arthur, no small fete, let me tell you! 🙂

Eric returned to work the Wednesday after Alice arrived, seeing as it was a new job, and new jobs are quite hard to come by lately. So far he’s enjoying the work and the people, not to mention the shorter commute!

After a two week visit the grandparents had to return home. We really appreciated their help, though! 🙂 During the week that followed we got a little settled into our new routine of Eric working, and me keeping Arthur out of trouble and feeding Alice.

At the end of our settling week, Eric’s mom came out for a visit to play with Arthur and see new little Alice. Eric will post some pictures of the fun stuff they did during that time. I won’t since I stayed at home, being as I am so tired all the time and Alice is still so little.

And that brings us up to the present! Those weeks were also peppered with doctor’s visits, short trips out, and the stomach flu. Let me tell you……the stomach flu (read “the works”) is so. not. fun. one week after giving birth, having major abdominal surgery, and nursing a newborn. Thankfully Alice did not get sick. Every one else did. Anyhoo…..

And here are a few pictures of Alice around a month old!
