Happy New Year!
Just wanted to wish all my followers and fellow Tumblr mamas a Happy New Year! 2012 is going to be one of the best years of our lives :)
Robbie and I are so excited about watching our baby girl grow, and seeing her learn everything. I have been giving her lots of tummy time, so I’m hoping she will be rolling over soon and then crawling! She shows a ton of potential, just because she kicks...

I need to get more ‘bout posting and saying what’s on my mind when it’s on there. I’m going to regret not having more posts in a few years.
This month has been a whirlwind-hurricane that went by way too fast.
I can see the huge difference in my daughter’s growth. She smiles and coos all the time these days. I noticed she responds to us now, like tickles and what we...

Happy holidays!
I am totally enjoying the vacation time hubby is spending at home with me and the baby. Between being a mama and a wife, I rarely get enough time to write and say all the wonderful things that have been going on in my life lately other than the little updates and photos and reblogs you’ve been getting.
Christmas was wonderful for our family. Robbie got me the HTC Amaze! I know I said I got...

Do any other moms have “bad luck” with certain outfits? I have a pink Pooh onesie that without fail will get “run out” on it. It’s cursed.

Aubrey is just laying across her Boppy pillow and tooting every five mins right now. Pretty cute.
This little girl is the light of our lives. I’ve never felt so much love.

Got a new phone! It’s the HTC Amaze and its definitely really nice. Aubrey is sleeping on me right now as I’m typing this. She was awake one second and out the next. Robbie has this entire week off, so we’ve been enjoying ourselves as a family all day. I love it. He’s a wonderful daddy and has changed many diapers today… Hehe. I love that too.
I am in need of...

November mamas:
Kinda wondering about all the girls I followed that were having November babies. I’ve been so busy with mine, I never get to see what anyone else is up to! Hope you’re all doing well :) xx

Great Success
Last night after I posted, I went to bed and the baby was sound asleep in her bassinet. She stayed asleep for hours and I got good rest too. It was a night for the books. I loved it.
Thank you, Candace. :)
Today, she’s been being a little bit of a Miss Fussy-pants. I should take this opportunity to nap while she is, but I do have some things I could get done. Ahh, decisions,...

Nervous!
I’m nervous and excited and hopeful, all rolled into one anxious bunch. I am quietly typing this in the living room, while Aubrey is in the bedroom, in her bassinet.
I asked one of my long time mama friends, Candace, how her babies did with getting into their beds early on, and she said they both did fine, and then gave me suggestions on how to get it done. I didn’t realize this was...

Sleepy Time is Precious and Very Necessary!
I just woke up from a two hour rest. I feel really good. About that sleep, not how we got there.
How we got there… total other story. Here. At 4:30pm I woke Aubrey up after wondering for hours how long she’s gonna sleep! Seriously baby, I start worrying about your breathing way too often when that kind of prime time goes by. Here I am thinking you’re on this schedule and you...

Trying to write and keep up on everything else is beyond me right now.
I practically crash at night after R leave for work, and that is usually when the baby gets a second wind. So it’s pretty much really horrible. I wish at those points that I was a night owl. She sleeps all day! I should take a hint, but it’s impossible. I just don’t know how I’d do it. :\ R sleeps...

Wiggle wiggle wiggle
Pumping and enjoying the peace and ability to move without baby crying. I either underestimated a baby’s neediness or I have a cuddle baby. Either way, I have only eaten a cup of yogurt since waking up and that was six hours ago. I really need to learn how to do things with one hand.
Fenugreek really does work, for those moms planning to breastfeed. I have plenty of milk now and I can...

Stumblin' on reality
I need a nap. I’m equipped this morning with new motivation to be the best I can be for my family, because I am, as a new mom, on the brink of feeling overwhelmed. Babies are not that easy to take care of, and if you’ve never dealt with one 24/7, then I’ll bet you have no idea. I didn’t.
The first five days, I felt like supermom. Always attentive, multi-tasking, trying to...

Baby love!
My little bugger is sleeping in her Boppy bouncer, looking so adorably cute. She spends a lot of time sleeping in that thing. Way more than anywhere else, other than my chest. I sleep with my baby. Is that a crime? It would be if something bad happened. I just am not successful with getting the girl to sleep in her bassinet. Not even once has she been happy in it, and there’s not a lot I can...

43 Weeks... jk
It’s nap time, but I really should be thinking about the next feeding. I think I might stretch this one out til 7 instead of 6. Our girl is a great eater, whether directly from the breast or out of a bottle. She amazes me a lot. She’s 5 days old and she smiled today for the first time. I kinda caught it.
So drowsy. Be back soon.

I should post my birth story… and I might. We’ll seeee. :)
I’m organizing my closet right now. I finally bought the baby some storage drawers, so now her clothes are in an organized drawer and not spread out all over the place. It feels wonderful to say this. It should not have taken me that long.
I’ve been trying to take pictures of every moment. I love our daughter soso...
