So after 6 weeks, I am finally blogging again! Hopefully more on a regular basis from now on. I am currently sitting here looking at the disaster our apartment is and thinking of ALL the things I should be doing right now besides blogging. But hey, sometimes you just need to break and Lily is sleeping peacefully at the moment.
I'm not even going to ATTEMPT to blog about the entire past six weeks because that would take far too long. Instead, I will pick up from Christmas. We went to VA Beach for Christmas/New Year's. It was our first trip and a long one - 10 days. Packing was NUTS for such a small baby! We made it though and I had a good time. The holidays were actually pretty sane and non-stressful this year which is a first! We are back in Lynchburg now and I go back to work on January 23rd and I'm not really looking forward to that.
I have just fallen so in love with this little baby girl of mine. She is SO cute! It's so crazy how such a small little baby can competely steal your heart away and you would do ANYTHING for them. It's been so wonderful watching Matt with her too. He loves her SO much and he is SO good with her. I couldn't ask for a better husband or father. I am so blessed.
At Christmas I was thinking about the fact that God gave his ONLY son to die for us, for me. I have always known this of course but it has become SO more profound now that I have a child of my own. Until you are a parent you can't even imagine what that must feel like to give up your only son to DIE. Right now I am looking at Lily and thinking, HOW MUCH GOD MUST LOVE US! Because I would not give up my little Lily for ANYONE in this world, EVER.
Lily is doing SO great. At her one month check up before Christmas she weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces! And I am sure she weighs more now at 6 weeks. She's staying awake more now during the day and loves to just look around. This past week she has been really smily in the mornings and I have gotten her to smile back at me a few times! What a cool moment when they respond like that! She also has rolled almost completely over once!
Well, that's a good update for now. If you want to see pictures, go look on Facebook. And if you don't have Facebook, get on it! That's where I post most of the pictures because it is so much easier than trying to load them here. Off to try and get a few things done and take care of my baby girl who seems to be stirring!
Thursday, January 3
