Can life be normal after having kids?

If life can be "normal" after having kids, then ours is becoming more that way. I have finally figured out how to get out of the house in under 2 hours in the morning. That includes feeding Libby, getting her dressed, showering, and feeding myself. She has started to sleep about 5 hours at a time during the night which we think is excellent. We hope she'll be sleeping through the night before too long.

I still marvel that Mike and I made something so perfect and beautiful (not that I'm biased at all)! She is still "perfect" in that she doesn't have any of the imperfections that come with age and time. She doesn't have any scars or things that happen with experience yet. Her skin is still smooth and she is still innocent. I hope she will stay that way for a long time. She doesn't need to be exposed to things that will cause her to become jaded and prejudiced until she's much older. It's one reason I think I'd like her to go to school where I work (I know it's a long time off). The kids there are sheltered for lack of a better word. For the most part, many of them come from homes with involved parents and they are just very innocent.

Anyway, here's the most recent picture of her. It was taken on Thursday. I just love this outfit! Too bad she spit up on it before Daddy got home to see her in it.
