Friday Morning Update

My first week back at work went well. This morning Morgan took Pearl out for a walk while I had my Friday morning conference call. It’s been so nice that he’s been able to work from home several days a week! We take turns taking care of Pearl during the day so the other person has some quiet time to work and so far it’s worked out well.



This week was also my birthday! The three of us had a fun day together and then we had dinner with our friends Allison and Geoffe. Pearl was an angel and slept through the whole meal! It was a really nice evening out.

On Wednesday our friend Kate came out to Brooklyn to meet our little Pearl. I haven't seen Kate in a while so it was nice to catch up while we took a stroll through the neighborhood.



Yesterday Pearl napped a little more than usual. She tends to get overtired and then fussy so it’s great when she actually stops looking around for a few moments to get some sleep. She’s eating like a champ too – she weighs almost 10 pounds now! I was actually starting to worry she was eating too much, but she seems pretty happy and healthy so we’ll just wait for her next visit to the pediatrician to make sure she’s on track as far as weight gain.

That’s all for now! Have a great weekend and we’ll post some more photos soon.

One Minute of Pearl

Just thought you might like to see her moving around for a minute. Here's Pearl looking out the window of our a favorite restaurant, Bar Toto. Music by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah.

Weekend in Hudson

We've been busy! I was very sick last week so Mom came down on Thursday to help us out with Pearl. It was really nice to have her here.

She helped straighten up the apartment and even made us a home-cooked dinner. What a treat! On Friday the four of us drove back upstate where we spent a nice, relaxing weekend. She got to see Uncle Tate at the shop...

Took a nap with her mommy...

And even went for a ride on the swings with daddy...


On Saturday, Pearl's future husband William came by for a visit with his mom, Elizabeth.

Morgan and I are so used to our little Pearl that we were surprised at how big Will has gotten! He's such a happy baby and he and Pearl seemed to hit it off.


On Saturday night Mom and Dad volunteered to babysit so Morgan and I could go out for dinner with Tate and Kyung to celebrate my birthday. It was really strange going out without our little peanut, but we had a great time and apparently Pearl was a sweet, sleeping angel for her grandparents (of course, she sleeps for them but as soon as Morgan and I try to get her in her crib she's a bundle of energy).


On Sunday we went to church and afterwards Pearl finally got to meet her cousin Kristen.

We were sad to leave, but we'll be back upstate for the 4th of July weekend when we will have Pearl's dedication ceremony.


Today is my first day back "at work." I'm praying that all goes well with balancing my script supervising and mom duties, but Morgan will be home several days a week for the next two weeks so we're hoping that helps with the transition.

Hope you're all doing well and we'll have some more updates for you soon!

Love,
Jill
