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!

Borrowing Wednesday...

I am amazed at how boring my days are that they go by so fast! Libby eat, sleeps, poop...and I wash bottles, clothes, eat (when I remember), work (from home of course), and try to nap, and okay maybe watch Dr. Phil daily too : ) I sometimes feel like I am in jail and out of touch with reality. When I get in the car and drive it feels like I am breaking out of jail and I am free!! I look forward to when Muffin comes home from work for lunch just so I can communicate with another adult and ask him what the weather feels like outside. However, I would not change my situation for the world. I am so blessed to have a happy, healthy baby! I thank God for her everyday! She means so much to me! Even though my new way of life is going to take some getting use to, I would not have it any other way!

Feeling Refreshed!

Its Monday morning and after a very long hard weekend I am ready to start my day and I am feeling refreshed! Libby had some major gas issues on Saturday night and so she did not sleep at all that night nor did she sleep all day yesterday. My mom came to the rescue and thanks to her Brandon and I slept well last night. She called the pediatrician and he told her to try the mylicon drops and apparently they worked wonders! Thank goodness!! The stress of constant visitors and people in and out of my house is still getting to me but at least I havent had any more break downs. I am looking forward to what the week will bring! I am about to head in to work for a bit then back home to hang out with Lib! Oh did I mention I have lost 30 pounds? So happy!!
