postpartum hostessing:
invite like crazy (anyone we could think of - - neighbors, Malachai's classmates, the church, individuals from the class Joshua is taking on inter-cultural mediation, contacts from the coffee shop and park . . .)
clean the house ("is that the doorbell? quick! close the kitchen door! throw the diapers in the trash, light a candle and stuff the laundry basket under the couch!")
feed the guests ( we've fed them a pumpkin pie, the carrot cake, the sour cream bundt cake, one of the chocolate cakes that were made and frozen while we waited, and finished up the five boxes of chocolates that were brought to me at the hospital)
entertain the guests (pass the baby around; assure everyone that no, we are not worried that she will become spoiled from being held too much.)
yeah . . . it's been a good couple of weeks

ha! you sound like the mother of three... a happy mother!
so, knowing you'd be busy I haven't called you, and Ryan thinks I've been a jerk. So I'm going to call you... like right now...
HAHA! That is what wee sound like NOW...does that mean I am lazy? What will three be like? gee whiz, you're a battery pack, Naomi. I can't wait to see in person how you keep up...only one more year... :>

Love,
Ginny
