from 12 wks old... to 12 months old!

clearly time flies when you're having fun. and it also flies when you're busy raising a child!
the past year has been filled with indescribable emotions and joy, as any mother can attest too. it's something you can't even begin to understand until you're in it. i love being a mom. i am truly amazed each and every day, watching my little girl explore the world around her and how much she learns and grows. and i love how much she entertains me!

12 weeks old

my munchkin is now 12 weeks old! i absolutely cannot believe it. the first 6ish weeks were rough. pretty darn rough. but i think i was blessed with an absolute angel of a little girl. we turned a corner at about 8 weeks: she sleeps a ton, we're on a pretty predictable schedule already, and she has a very sweet disposition. *knocking on wood*

here she is!

i'm a mom

i'm finding it extremely difficult to update facebook, my pregnancy message board, and the blog. thus the blog has fallen to the wayside.

but i'm a mom, and it's the best feeling in the world. well, some of the feelings aren't so good, like the bleeding nipples, the sore nether-regions, etc. but i am 100% in love with this little girl, and i am cherishing every single moment i spend with her.

4 years today!

today is my 4 year anniversary. despite the fact that being pregnant has caused us to miss our annual anniversary trip up to the wine country - my absolute favorite thing to do, and i can't wait to continue the tradition well into the future (post-baby) - i couldn't be in a happier place today. i'm looking forward to a lovely dinner out tonight with my husband, and i'm really looking forward to a glass of champagne!

happy anniversary timmy! love you.

4 weeks and counting

since last post we haven't done very much towards getting ready for baby. but we have made some progress.

we got the bedding ordered and it's being made as we speak. should get here in a week or two.

and the car seat will be here next week - thank you, staci! and that's somewhat important if we want to bring our child home with us from the hospital. which i think i will want to do.

and i'm still growing a baby, so that is progress every single second that passes.

four weeks to go now. well 3 weeks and 6 days until the due date. i kind of hope she comes early - like 10 days or a week early would be nice. i'm starting to hurt all over and going to work just blows. only 9 more days of work left though! woo hoo!
