There is nothing of significance to report. Rachel seems to have a clogged tear duct but it does not seem to be bothering her. She has not been putting her flailing hands into the eye as if it is bothering her. Lisa and I have been massaging the side of her eye and nose and it is getting better each day. When this first happened, her eye was pancaked shut and quite nasty looking. But each morning has been less and less disgusting. It is still not completely better but if it does not fully go away after a few more days, we will take her to the doctor. It is quite amazing the information you can find out about clogged tear ducts on the internet. If this would have been 10 years ago, we would have already been the the emergency room. I don't know if it's a good thing or not that Lisa and I are self diagnosing problems without the conesent of a real doctor but at least we feel informed.
I have been fighting off a cold for a few days (half of my co-workers have taken sick days the last 2 weeks) and i am trying to keep Rachel from getting it. But i so want to be near her and it is tough.
Sleep has been hard to come by for everyone but that is to be expected. It is no where near the fear that people ingrained into our heads the last few months but maybe we are just lucky. (knock on wood). We took a few photos the last few nights but nothing to brag about. (Lisa took the fuzzy ones, maybe she was going for those hazy dreamy looks). I still have a brand new HD Video recorder that i need to play with but there just hasn't been a good moment. Rachel is either sleeping, crying or feeding and none of those are great video moments. Once we start getting them, i will be able to post video clips of her on this blog. So we got that to look forward to.
Rachel is 3 and a half weeks old and is starting to crawl around when she is on her stomach. We haven't given her much "tummy time" until the last few days but she is a wild girl. Obviously she is not crawling around the room, but she does get her legs going and has moved herself a few inches.
I seem to be typing a novel but I wanted to keep everyone up to date...

Love the Pics!! She gets cuter and cuter each picture!
I agree with Cheryle! I really want to roadtrip out to see everyone!
And really, must you mock your wife's talents as an artist?! Clearly her pictures are out of focus because some day you'll both look back upon these moments and realize what a blur they really were!
Pic request: I need to see her modeling the OH State colored hat and booties I made! Pretty please?
