5 Wks Already...







Well my baby is growing so fast. It's hard to imagine that a little over a month has passed since we had our baby girl. Seems like just yesterday we were sitting in the hospital room surrounded by family and friends. This whole experience has been the best time of my life. It has been filled with joy, hugs, laughter, smiles, tears, fears, and anxieties about everything from which pacifier to use to reaching into the backseat to feel her chest and check if she is still breathing. LOL. I am a control freak, always have been, and having this being outside of my body, not being able to know exactly what she needs has been the hardest thing to adjust to.






I had complained about my huge ginormous belly from time to time. Complained about the heartburn , swollen ankles, weight gain of substantial proportions, and oh so fun mood swings, but the truth is ......that I would do it all again in a heartbeat for her. I would do it all with a smile on my face knowing that she is the prize at the end. She is a chunk of my heart outside of my body. An extension of my being. I cannot fathom being apart from her , even tho I am forced to head back to work in a month and a half. I plan on cherishing this time to the full extent. She is sleeping with us in our bed right now. All she wants to do is cuddle, and all I want to do is cuddle her back. There are no words for my love for her...






She loves feeling my hair. She already reaches up and grabs a chunk, then burrows her head in my chest and falls asleep. She smiles when she is halfway to la-la land. It is the sweetest smile I have ever seen. She knows her daddy's voice and lights up when he comes around. She loves being outside and looking out the window.






Here are some pics, there will be more to come !!
