Starting Off


Emma is finally asleep! She never naps, and on this momentous occasion I find myself creating a blog! Oh what my life has become...and on that note, I shall write.

Life has been flying by! I mean, ever since JD and I were married we haven't stopped and I can't help but feel I have not really, truly, enjoyed the moment. We were only married about seven months when I found out I was pregnant and I kept looking forward to the day I would get to see her cute face and hold her. I'll admit, I did not enjoy pregnancy. I was sick, and by the time I wasn't sick anymore I was HUGE and didn't really enjoy that too much. I couldn't sleep and I ached all over! Now that I am done complaining....I did enjoy feeling my baby move and bonding with her even before she was born. I started to notice my hand would always find its way to my belly, comforting my unborn baby and feeling so much love for someone I hadn't even met yet. Then, she was born. I still have a hard time believing she has been here four months, but I am honestly enjoying the moment now. The first three months were tough, and maybe they haven't gotten any easier, but appreciating what I have and enjoying my family, the thing that makes me happier than anything else, has brought a little perspective to my life. Now I see each moment for what it is.

Emma has started to interact more and has become aware of the world around her. She can roll on her sides from her back, and often does to position herself so she can watch tv. She loves the moving pictures and colors. She grabs on to her toys and stuffs them in her mouth and she grins SO BIG! She has really strated to laugh out loud and jibber jabber in her cute little baby language. She is no longer my new born. Something I am really sad about.
