If you hadn't guessed by my prolonged silence after the last pregnancy related post...our second baby was born! Although she came 5 days later than my due date and I had the joy of two days of non-productive contractions, the labor and delivery were a breeze once everything got going. My recovery time was minimal and we all settled into a routine as a family of four without issue.
As I sit here typing this (almost exactly 6 weeks following her birth), I am feeling great. I've been back to work for 2 weeks, am 2 pounds below my pre-pregnancy weight, and am in the midst of my usual holiday baking/cooking/crafting craziness.
There is another thing that is new to our house this year for Christmas - we have our very own Elf! "Sugar" has been here keeping tabs on our little bug and reminding her to be a good girl for Santa. Sugar has been leaving the bug special treats each day to count down the 12 days until Christmas. Below you can see what we've been up to so far...

| 12 - The first day featured a cup with hot cocoa mix and two new Christmas books |
 |
| 11 - Sugar left all the ingredients to make tree shaped pizzas for dinner |
 |
| 10 - Everything to make cinnamon ornaments |
I didn't get a photo of Day 9 in time, but Sugar left her lots of silly dress up items to play with and pose for a silly photo shoot. Props included a singing tie, multiple headbands with bouncy Santas or snowmen, bead necklaces, and feather boas.
