Yesterday was Joseph’s first month birthday already! We celebrated by saying goodbye to grandma and spending the day all by ourselves. L I’m certain that part of why Joseph was unsettled was because the apartment was so empty. We were so blessed to have daddy home so much and grandma with us for a month after the birth. Joseph did eventually calm down and let me get a two hour nap (that’s a nice birthday present)! In the evening we went to Valda’s for dinner with friends, which was lovely. Last night Joseph made up for not sleeping much on his birthday by sleeping a 4, a 3, and a 2 hour stretch – lovely! Sleep is a beautiful thing.
In the other news the cloth diapers we ordered from Germany came and I’m quite happy with them. The diaper cover has yet to arrive so we’re making do with others, which aren’t so nice, so the final verdict is yet to come, but I think I’m going to like it (if the cover works). Here’s a link to a video, for those who are interested in what they look like.
Lots more pictures are up (see link to the right).
I’m almost back to normal and my energy is coming back, too. I’ve started being jealous of the runners I see. It’s been so long since I’ve run (since first trimester!) and I’d love to get back!
Well, I better use my precious sleeping-baby time for some other things. Cheerio!

Oh, Joseph! I'm so sorry to have abandonned you on your first month birthday! I miss you all so much -- even though it's nice to be home.
Hot, but nice.

I watched the video and the diapers look very practical and easy to use! It is great to be able to keep up with you all from across the ocean! Happy one month birthday Joseph!
