Tabitha is a whole lot better, thankfully. With a fever that high, I was starting to get worried. But it's gone, as is her lethargy and her appetite is back. We'll probably resume lessons later today. Last night Tabitha made me a congratulations certificate for the baby. Very sweet :)
Sleeping next to Daisy is not easy. The child is just plain noisy. When you first put her down, she "talks" for about 20 minutes, then when she's waking, she "talks" for another 20 minutes before she's actually awake. So out of every 2 hours of sleep, I only get a little over an hour because I keep thinking she's about to cry. Not that she ever does. One thing I'll say for this child, she does not cry upon waking up. It's pretty nice not to be jolted awake at 3:00am. And I must take a moment to gush. I adore watching her face. It goes from pursed lips, to tongue sticking out, to a smile to an Elvis curled lip in a matter of seconds. It is purely fascinating. If I could just get her to stop opening her eyes while asleep and freaking me out though.
It is so beautiful weather-wise here. Supposedly it's going to rain, but it's a gorgeous blue sky with white clouds and it smells like Spring. I long to take a walk in it, but the stroller is in the car. I can use the Baby Björn, but it's difficult to wear the diaper bag and the baby at the same time. Murphy knows that if we leave home without the diaper bag, we're guaranteed a diaper blow-out of magnificent proportions.
I'm also feeling a huge itch to return to Disneyland. Soon it will be overrun with Spring Breakers and then it will be time for the 50th anniversary celebration to start and it will be crowded for awhile. So I really want to take advantage of the emptiness now. The baby will be two weeks old tomorrow, so I predict we'll be there in another week. Of course, taking a baby named Daisy to Disneyland is just opening us up for loads of Daisy Duck references. For the record, I did not name my child after the duck, but after my great-grandmother. I did, however, name my first child after the tv show Bewitched, so I can see where people are coming from when they ask about Daisy's name :)

I missed it! I've been so baby-focused myself that I forgot to check your blog to see if you had had your baby yet. Looks like you had Daisy shortly after I had Irina. Congratulations! She's beautiful and I really like that pic of Tabitha and Daisy.
