Eden's growing....and I love Juana!

Eden is a biggie girl (to steal a phrase from Hilary) - today she weighed in at 7 lbs 2 oz.!!! Yay, hooray for Eden! Now mommy can relax more and just enjoy the process without worrying about feeding times, quantities, lengths, supplementing, etc...... The nurse told us to let her sleep through the night if she will. (Ha ha ha, that's funny.) But, at least - it's an option!

In other news, I LOVE JUANA!!!! Juana is a housekeeper referred to us by my wonderful boss. (Made more wonderful, of course, because he referred Juana to us.) She brought her friend Sylvia with her yesterday to deep clean our house. Or, in her words, "First time, I clean everything. Ok? Then, you call me, you need cleaning." Okay. WILL DO!!! The wonderful lady made my house look like a hotel. I keep finding things she cleaned. Little things, that make this anal-retentive mother's day -- for instance, she emptied our medicine cabinets and wiped down the inside (and put everything back facing the same direction). She cleaned out our refrigerator (same with the contents - much more organized). She cleaned out the toilet scrubber. (I would never clean out a stranger's toilet scrubber.) She folded the dirty dish towels and put them on the washer machine. She finished the dishes I had left half-done because Eden needed to nurse, and put them away. She wiped down the top of the refrigerator and swept our back porch. Need I go on? These are all little things on top of the ordinary floors/bath/windows stuff - stuff that I only get to every few months when I have a big cleaning day. Stuff I wouldn't get to any time soon with a little baby in the house.

So, if you come over and think I've got it all together, I don't. And if you like how we have arranged the candles on top of the TV amoire, I didn't do that, either.

And you won't find any dirt underneath my couch. But that's not my fault.

AHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I love Juana.
