We are finally alone as our little family. We have a week until David and Linda arrive. Cory left Wednesday (driving straight through to Salt Lake in 14 hours!) and Dick and Donna left yesterday morning. It was really nice having the extra help during the transition. Funny that Dick and Donna came all the way from Phoenix to enjoy the hottest days in recorded history in Western Washington! Cory left just in time as Wednesday peaked at 104 degrees...THE hottest day ever up here. Things are cooling down now so that it is bearable.
Follow up at the pediatrician today went great. Michelle has surpassed her birth weight, gaining 9 oz in 1 week! 7lb 12 oz today. Not surprising to me considering how much she's at my breast! So far, my breasts are holding up to her demands remarkably well. She weathered her final heel poke for metabolic screening with the traumatic scream of death.
I have worked up to walking the full loop around Titlow park with Michelle and Io which makes me feel a lot more balanced. I worked so hard to stay in shape during pregnancy that "taking it easy" has been a real mental and physical challenge.
Proud Martin Grandparents!

sure - "take it easy!"...yeah, right! Easier said than done. Nice to have a little time between visitors. I'm sure Linda's DYING to get her hands on her! :) She was so helpful with Ethan. 104 is craaazy hot!
