Eden's first month

Eden turned one month old yesterday. we took her to the doctor for her healthy baby check-up. she weighs 11 lbs. and 2 oz. she is 22 1/4 inches long. in case those numbers don't mean anything to you... let's just say she's huge. she's a very good eater (obviously) and lets us get just enough sleep, but not too much. no sleeping in.

bringing out the pictures

i look at Eden, and i think i know those ears. i've seen that forehead wrinkle. there is something familiar about those cheeks. it really hits me when i see her sleeping with her mouth hanging open... she looks like Carli. it's cute, but also disturbing. why disturbing? she looks like Carli. when she's sleeping, and i'm thinking that... i'm not thinking about how peaceful she looks... i'm thinking she looks dead. see? disturbing.

the possibility of forgetting

i sometimes wonder about other people and their losses. do other people feel like i do? are there some people that lose babies, and just forget about it? does it matter to them? do some people try to pretend it never happened?

work...

last week, i talked to my boss. she seemed anxious to have me back at work. she was being nice but pushy at the same time. she asked how everything went, how i was doing, etc... but she also mentioned that if i didn't get back to work soon, she would have to "reassign my clients". ugh. in other words, "come back now, or you're going to work some really crappy cases, because we can't fire you."
