Actually I would have been back last week if it weren't for the holiday. I started cooking the day I got out of the hospital. I feel great. I bested my childbirth time by half. With my older son, my water broke and he showed up about 8 hours later. With this one, they broke my water and started the induction at 10:45am and he was born at 2:26pm. But this time, I managed to get my epidural in just under the wire (I was actually fully dialated when it was put in place but no one knew - THANK GOD!). God bless whoever invented the epidural. I pushed for an hour with my older son and 26 minutes with this one.
The biggest difference was how I felt afterwards though. After my oldest, my best friend was an inflatable blue donut pillow. This time I don't even feel like I gave birth (well I didn't until I pushed my luck and walked the baby around our hilly neighborhood twice today).
Here's Daniel (or Baby Dan as his big brother calls him):
Recipes will be back starting tomorrow. I'll probably be posting somewhat regularly until I go back to work. After that, well, things might slow down a bit.

It's so good to see you both here, and hear how wonderfully it all went! Daniel is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing the gorgeous photo.
Congratulations! He is beautiful. Best of luck to you.
As I posted on the other spot...I've been stalking you! Baby Dan is beautiful, congratulations.
What a pretty baby! So glad you're back. Can't believe you were strolling the baby, cooking and going to a 4th party already. I was too tired to do anything after the births. What was the date of the birth, so we can see who guessed correctly? I'm a name nut, so may we know Daniel's middle name?
