I wondered what it would be like to hold my new baby in my arms.
Crazy how fast time goes by. I only have 5 more weeks to be home with her every day until the summer gets here. Being on maternity leave has really spoiled me, especially since my recovery was so very fast. It's been nice to be home during the Holidays, although the time is FLYING by. Sad and scary.
I'm just trying to figure out how to get everything done, and this is before I'm gone working a job. Laundry usually takes me a couple days to get done. Finding time to spend with God is a challenge. Some days, I can barely find time for a shower. But I'm a new mom and this is what all new moms face. I'm very thankful to have such a helpful and supportive husband who never complains. I can most definitely learn a lesson or two from him. Ok, let's be honest, I can learn SO MUCH from him. Which is why I thank God every day for making someone so perfect for me!
Addy is a joy. She really is an easy baby, but she has her challenging moments too. There are days where she just fusses and well, those are not fun times. But for the most part, she's easy going and that makes me world a bit easier.
Our Thanksgiving was so low key and it was great. We spent it with Aaron's parents. We ate and sat around on the couch. It was so relaxed. And now we are gearing up for one crazy December. At least we got our Christmas up and some shopping already started. My brother is coming in 2 weeks for a few days and then Aaron's brother is coming in from Pakistan after Christmas. Neither of our brothers have met Addyson yet so that will be so much fun.
Addy is still so little, most of her clothes aren't fitting very well. As much as I want her to stay little, I am also ready for her to grow a bit. But she's doing great. We are working on that schedule and I have hopes that soon, we'll have it all figured out. She is going longer intervals at night which is nice. There have been a few nights where she did a 7 hour stretch. Oh so nice!
All in all, I am loving being a little family. Our baby is amazing. Our puppy is awesome. My husband is the best. I am one very happy and content woman!
