Stella, Susan and I had a busy day. Stella had her first real bath; she screamed through most of it but loved the part with the warm towel and hair dryer! Arbor seems to be protective of the baby already. When we were bathing her (and she was crying) Arbor was around our ankles meowing at us. This is totally out of character for her - we can only guess she was worried about the baby.
Then, we put her in the sling and took her to the farmers market, where we got some ice cream and produce. Around 5:00, we put her in the car and drove downtown to meet Rob at Legal Seafood for dinner. She was a champ! She slept in her car seat the whole way there and all of the way through a 2 hour dinner, awakening only when the check came. Good girl!
Susan leaves in the morning and Rob's taking Friday and Monday off for some family bonding. I'll be alone with the babe for the first full day on Tuesday - should be an adventure!

What a day you had! Motherhood is wonderful, isn't it? You will miss Susan, but you will be just fine. I know how much help Sheryl and Susan have been, though. New mothers need that help and support for a couple of weeks. And Baby Stella - what a trooper. Very advanced for a 2-week old. By the way, did she pay the check when she woke up at the restaurant? Love to all
