A Major Adjustment

Back to "School" for the Cummings family! There was a HUGE buildup getting back into our normal routine. With Natalie being born in the end of April, we have been forced into an unintentional hiatus from doing much of anything. She is not the kind of baby that just smoothly glides into the family with hardly a bump. Somewhat akin to her entrance into this world...her existence in our family has been one of major discomfort and adjustment. She herself is a beautiful, angel, doll. We adore her with the kind of love that surpasses all the chaos! I am not sure what is happening inside her little body, but nursing somehow causes enormous amounts of gas to be retained (and frequently passed), which in turn prevents her from remaining the peaceful soul that I know she is:) Carrie, my angel!, sent me some Catnip and Fennel, which has since become a staple in our food storage. This miracle herbal tincture has transformed our home! Once poor Natalie's tummy was settled, we were able to focus on re-organizing our life and getting back to a regular schedule. Thank you Stephanie for your photographic talents!!! Love ya:)
