My daughter is here!!! She was born a few days early, but she is healthy and all is fine.

Especially her digestive system!

Everyone Poops book

I don’t know for sure, but I reckon we have gone through 150-200 diapers in her short 2-week life. I don’t know where it all comes from, either! She only weighs 7lbs 4oz.

Pooping aside, I have to say that so far life is awesome with her. I already have trouble remembering what the house was like without her in it.

Since I graduated from college in 2005, I have struggled with not being happy about my work. I have often thought the problem is me. Turns out that might not be all there is to it!
