- We are adjusting to life as a family of 3. And learning how to function on very little sleep. We have ventured out into the real world a few times, with some short trips to Target and Babies R Us. Olivia and I even met my mom for lunch and made our first trip to the grocery store alone. I felt like I needed 10 hands, but was glad to have overcome that first mommy-daughter outing :)
- I have been overwhelmed at the amount of love Olivia has gotten in these 3 short weeks. We have had so many people visit, bring meals, send sweet messages and gifts and it amazes me how many wonderful friends and family we have. We are so, so lucky and thankful.
- Friday our baby girl will be 1 month old. ALREADY?! How is that possible?
- Recovery from the c-section has gone pretty smoothly. It no longer hurts to get up and down, or walk around, and the incision seems to have healed nicely. I still can't carry anything heavier than the baby for 2 more weeks, but at least I have my driving privileges back!
- Olivia already has her first gig as flower girl- MY BABY BROTHER IS GETTING MARRIED! Mark asked Rachel to marry him on February 22 (the same day D & I got engaged!) and she said yes. We couldn't be happier for them both! They are tying the knot sometime in Summer 2015, so I guess I have 1 year to get my pre-baby body back...
- My amazing husband, D, is an even better daddy. I could sit and watch them together all.day.long. It is the absolute sweetest thing ever. It honestly makes my heart melt every single time.
- We decided to have newborn photos done for Olivia, and I am so glad we did. I never ended up doing maternity pictures, but I knew I wanted newborn pictures. We decided to use SJK Photography and we are so pleased with how the pictures turned out! She came to our home for the shoot, and it made the pictures that much more real and personal. I have looked at them every day since we got the CD :) Here are a few of my favorites...
