I had no idea how much having a baby would change everything. She has changed our routines that is for sure but she has also brought with her more faith and prayers than I have ever had or needed. First time moms can agree that having a baby is... I can't find the right words to say. Overwhelming is the best I can come up with. You are overwhelmed with so many things at the same time for example: love for the baby, (I'm sorry to say) envy for your baby and the time they consume, responsibility, changing hormones and many other things. But at the end of the day she smiles that gummy smile in her sleep and it is all worth it.
I have a great baby. She sleeps very well, even at night I can put her down awake and she will put herself to sleep. Night was the time that I dreaded more than anything in the beginning because she would choke on her spit up the first few nights. Many prayers have been answered that have given me enough comfort to sleep while she is sleeping. She is a lot of fun so far and I cannot believe how much she changes every day.
A few firsts:
First time dad changed her diaper- she pee'd on him
First sponge bath- she loved, she rolls her eyes back in her head when you wash her hair
First real bath- she did not like, she screamed the whole time (also had bad gas that day) then she pooped on the towel when she was drying off.
What an adventure!

I hope she doesn't change too much more before we get there!!!!
oh i love that hair! She is adorable. Well i hope you are doing great..please let me know what i can do for you!
I am so happy for you that she is a good sleeper!! That is SO wonderful! The first 4 months of Nathan's life were miserable because I couldn't get him to sleep. I have some new tricks up my sleeve for the next one - we will see. It is overwhelming, but such a joy as well! I'm glad you're enjoying your beautiful little girl.
Having a baby DOES change everything, doesn't it? I remember when Jenna was about 6 weeks old and it sunk in that she was mine. I was not just babysitting! Can't wait for more pictures. She is BEAUTIFUL! Congratulations!
