We celebrated Selah June’s short little wonderful life today — all 4 weeks of it!  To mark this glorious occasion, she slept from 9:30pm to 1:00am and then again from 1:30am to 5:45am!!!  We opened our eyes to see a beautiful sunrise and hope.

There’s something particularly gratifying about keeping a frail little being alive for a whole 4 weeks through many sleepless nights and crying fits, changing a few billion poopy diapers as many colors as the rainbow, and making the effort to get up and face another AWESOME day.

4 WEEKS, BABY!!!

I have never before done so many dishes or so much laundry, cleaned off so many countertops of little odds and ends, packed so many bags “just in case,” or piled so much feces to go out with the next trash.  It’s amazing that 10 lbs can generate so much chaos.

We love her.  It’s crazy.  4 weeks and counting…
