2 weeks in....
And so far, so good. Charlotte, Brad, and I are still alive and kicking - well fed ( mostly thanks to our parents - Steve and Denise and sister Erin while they were here - you guys rock ) ,a little sleep deprived although last night was a good night,( so not too bad ), and have actually showered, brushed our teeth and changed our clothes daily - which is always a good thing. Charlotte has been looking far cuter than I have, but that's cool - she's supposed too, right??
So, since it's high time for a blog update I figured I'd start by sharing a few................
Lessons I've Learned In the Last Two Weeks ( and these are just a few )
Sleeping when baby sleeps ( although that's hard for me, because I want to "do things" - clean, laundry, blog, call people etc, etc ) is where it's AT! Functioning on 4-6 hours of sleep ( in spurts of 1-3 hours at a time ) at night just isn't enough to cut it.
Somehow even though I'm up at 8-9 AM every morning, it all of the sudden is 5 PM and I have NO idea where my day went. ( I'm pretty sure 1/2 of it was spent staring at my gorgeous girl though )
The generosity of others never fails to amaze me!! We have had hot meals brought over every other night since Brad's parents have left, and have them coming through January. Unbelievable!! We are beyond blessed to have so many great friends. We've also received calls, e-mails, texts and Facebook congrats from about everyone we know, and another flood of gifts for Charlotte which is just TOO MUCH!! We really are so fortunate to have so many amazing family members and friends in our life. The gifts need to stop though people, seriously!! =)
Even though I was nervous about being a mom, and wondered if I'd be able to swing it - my instincts have kicked in SO many times, and I feel like I almost always know what she needs / what to do to help her. It's amazing!
A shower is my new best friend! Hot water, being clean, a little escape.....it's fabulous!!
Having a baby that looks identical to your husband is the coolest thing ever. It's amazing looking at a little mini-me of the one you love the most ( and think is the most gorgeous thing in the world )
And the last one - while we're on the husband thing.....Watching your husband melt over the little baby that you created together is priceless!! I could cry all day when he's around her. He's so tender with her, so loving, and then at the same time such a guy. She gave him her first "high five" the other day - and he was thrilled. I love that!!
I was going to share several pictures, and update you all on her doctors appts, what we've been up to - but the server is down on Xanga for uploading pics, and my girl is about to wake up hungry. I'll try again later.
All of my love,
Megan
