Its been a while...

It has been a while since I have blogged and a lot has happened. Yesterday was Libby's six week bday! She is getting bigger everyday. She smiles, coos, and reaches for your face during playtime. She is so fun! She can also find and follow objects with her eyes. She is getting to be a big girlie!

I had a little scare this week. Thursday (tommorrow) was suppose to be my 6 week check up. I have been bleeding ever since Libby's birth and I called the dr. to see if I needed to reschedule my appointment. They seemed concerned that I was still bleeding and told me to come in right away for an ultrasound. I went in for the ultrasound and they found something in my uterus. I met with the dr. and he informed me that we needed to do a dnc right away. The next morning (Libby's 6 week bday) I had the procedure done. They believe it is left over placenta from the delivery but I will find out for sure next week at my follow up appointment. What a crazy week. I am so lucky to have a good husband and mom to step up and help out with Libby this ordeal. I am just glad it is over.

We will have to see what next week will bring.

Its the Little Things

I have had a fantastic week so far! Mom came over and stayed the night with Libby on Monday night. That was a huge help! It is always nice to get a full nights sleep every once in a while. I worked for a bit Tuesday and then we went shopping at Carter's for the Lib. We got her a ton of cute things for under $100. She will be ready for summer for sure! I cannot wait to take all her fun outfits to Florida when we go in a few weeks! I am hoping the oil spill wont put a damper on our trip. Today I took the Lib to go visit her daddy at work. Everyone loved her! The secretaries thought she was beautiful! Lib and I are going to go on a walk later with Tiffany and then daddy is coming home to make us some yummy chicken tacos! It is the little things in life that make me happy!!

First day back to church!!

It is my first day back to church since the Sunday (April 11) before the Tuesday I had the Lib. It feels weird to be at home on Sunday mornings and not at church. Libby is being dedicated this morning! Yay! I will have to post a pic later! I had a great weekend! I was able to take a nice walk at the arboretum (gotta get these pounds off!!), cleaned house, and then Brandon and I took Libby to Kohls! (I had to get some spanx to suck in my gut..haha!!) We met friends for dinner at OCharleys and were so lucky that Libby slept the whole time! Libby got a bath and then it was bedtime! she slept until 3:15 am!! Woohoo!!! Brandon and I both had a good night's rest!! Looking forward to the week and what the near future holds! I have been praying that God opens doors for me in the near future and shows me where I need to be and what I need to be doing! Cant wait to see what he has in store for me and our family!

One Month!!!

Libby is one month old today! Cannot believe it! The time has gone by so fast! She is going to TCHS today to go visit her Nana and GiGi! It should be interesting!! Motherhood is exhausting but rewarding! I love her so much! She was much easier to take care of when she was in my belly but I am glad she is here! I am looking forward to watching her grow. Sometimes when she is screaming and wont let me put her down all day and I get stressed, I stop for a second and thank God for all my blessings! I have a house, a car, a job, an amazing husband, cat, and family and now I have a healthy beautiful baby girl. I feel like the richest person in the world sometimes because I have been blessed with such a great life! I dont ever want to take for granted for what I have been given and so I count my blessings everyday!

My Little Sweetness!!

Just thought I would post a pic of my love <3

Yay!! I have actually been productive today!!

So I havent blogged in a while and there has definitely been a good reason for that!! Libby has been a clingy colicky baby! I could hold her and she would sleep, then the minute I would put her down she would scream bloody murder! It has been awful. I have had to hold her all day everyday and then feel the stress of knowing that I have a messy house and nothing has gotten accomplished! Well today that changed! I have learned what I call "Operation Tough Love". If Miss Libby is fed, clean diaper, clean clothes, and warm then cry your heart out sister cause momma has got work to do!! So far so good! She will cry and then 10 minutes later be out like a light! It has been fabulous! We purchased a fancy swing called the iglide so she gets that soothing rocking motion that she needs! I just feel better all around! I have been able to get stuff done and feel relieved about that! Its taken three weeks but Im starting to get the hang of this mom thing!

Where has the time gone?

On Tuesday it will have been three weeks since Libby was born. I cannot believe how fast it has gone! The days are the long but the weeks are short. A lot will be going on the next few months and I am looking forward to some changes. Most importantly I am looking forward to our vacation in June. We will be going to Destin, Florida (my first time ever) and taking Miss Libby with us to see Jonathan and Amanda tie the knot. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I fit in my bridesmaid dress! It is a rainy Sunday and I think I am going to spend the rest of the day resting and cuddling with my Libby Rose..can't wait!
