The First Wave (and second and third...)

The month of visitors has begun,

kicked off by a weekend visit from Baba

who breezed around the house making me tea and lecturing me

for leaving the couch whenever I attempted it.

(She was the only person in the room when 

my midwife made us promise that if I left early

I would sit or lay down as much as possible during my first weeks home.)

Although she did allow me one short outing

to catch Orin's last t-ball game of the season.

 In the second wave of company Auntie Andy and 

Cousin Ardian arrived from Indiana.

Closely followed by Grandpa Jack and Grandma Carla.

I was still not feeling 100%, so we spent a lot of time

playing outside in the backyard,

taking lots of cousin pictures,

 t

reading,

eating,

and enjoying our new expanded family.

And how was Ilea with all the extra attention?

A-Okay.
