Planting the placenta

Today we are going to plant a lilac tree in our backyard with Soren's placenta. I am excited to have it here at our home. Veda's placenta was planted with Tad's memorial tree (which I think is wonderful but it's not in our yard). Can't wait to do this.

Veda and Jeff are going on a "date" today. They are going out to eat then to the movies. Maybe even some ice cream. I am hoping to be able to get some alone time with her as well- the boob factor makes it a bit hard.

Veda is feeling better. Up and running around as usual. Already got her piano practiced for the day. She may be the next Mozart.

Soren is really enjoying keeping me up at night. He doesn't cry- just fusses. Enough where it keeps me up. He loves to be held or lying right next to me. When I try to put him in the pack in play he decides to wake up again. Maybe he is uncomfortable in there. Tonight I am going to try him in his crib and we will see how that works.

Can you believe that I got a picture with his eyes open? Not only was he actually awake for more than 3 minutes he doesn't have the "pirate eye". We like to call him Captain Soren. (And you have to say that with the pirate accent.)

Eleven days old already...
