The Best Gift Ever

Ten minutes past midnight. It's officially Christmas Eve. In a few short hours more of your family will be here to celebrate the holiday with us. As I lay here in bed, feeling you kick I feel the need to thank you. You've made me gag, vomit and eat eggs. You've made me cry over work, and love and songs (listen to Trans Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Cannon Rock and tell me why I was bawling). You've made me hiccup, and laugh and pee, yes, in that order. But most importantly you've made me happy. You've made my wildest dreams come true. You've made me a mom. This is the most precious gift you can ever give me. I am forever grateful. So tonight, or rather this morning, as I lay with my hand on my belly, feeling you move and wiggle. I count my blessings this Christmas Eve, as I count your kicks. And I thank you for being the precious miracle that you are. My most cherished gift. Merry Christmas my little Bean. Love Mommy

No Rest for the Weary

Little Miss, you will not go to sleep tonight. Every time I think you're out and lay you down your eyes pop right back open and you start crying. Your diaper is dry, you've eaten, we've rocked and patted, and walked and bounced. Read story's, sang lullaby's. And still. Wide. Freaking. Awake. Go to bed child. I told you babies under 2 feet tall should be asleep right now. You thought that was funny and graced me with an ear to ear grin. What's a girl to do?

Snuggles

Sweet little miss, I adore our snuggles! You definitely have a knack for making mommy and daddy feel special. When you get fussy all we have to do is pick you up. I'll put you up to my shoulder and you'll put your little arms around my neck and snuggle in. Sometimes it's all you need to fall asleep. Next week on June 4th I go back to work and you'll be spending your days with my sweet friend Sarah and her two little girls. I know you'll be in good hands while I'm working, but a large part of me is so sad to be giving up my days of snuggling you whenever you need it, and breastfeeding you full time. These precious moments have slipped by too fast and I will miss them with all of my being. I have cherished our 2 months of bonding so much! Mommy loves you Babers

One month

Hi baby E, tomorrow you'll be 1 month old! You are such a sweet little thing. Daddy and I are so in love with you! In this short month you've completely stolen our hearts and we can't imagine life without you in it. You love to lay on daddy's chest and pull his beard, and when you're not making him cringe you're gracing him with your adorable smile. You also gave him your first chuckle yesterday. Not quite a laugh yet, but he'll ask you if something is funny and you'll grin and chuckle at him. You really are a doll. You've been working on tummy time and have become quite strong, holding your head up for over 10 seconds at a time. You love to eat and you seem to have hit a growth spurt. You currently weigh 8 pounds and 9 ounces and are 22 inches long! You turn your head when you hear mommy or daddy talk to you, and you love listening to music and dancing around the living room with mommy. At birth your hair was dark, but has since lightened to an almo...
