It been 9 months, the length it took for her to grow inside of me, and she's been here bringing so much joy into my life. The things that she has accomplished in such a short time are astounding! I look at her "baby pictures" when she had skinny arms and legs and short, straight hair and I ask where has she gone? I remember every second that I have spent with her so far. I love that she knows me, and I love the way she reacts when I go to pick her up from grandma's house after work, the way she gets so excited when I sneak in and say hi, how her little chub rolls shake when she wriggles in happiness! Her laughter is so contagious, who knew a little person could laugh and bring you down with her? Just yesterday, I believe she had her first bonding moment with her cousin Jake. He was playing with grandma's dog, Trixie, and the baby was watching as the dog went crazy. She laughed so hard at the action that she farted, thus, causing Jake to laugh even harder. Tears, I tell you, tears!
She has finally mastered rolling over, and sometimes she rolls back to way she came. She will be crawling very soon (Sorry Stewie). She has had her 2 bottom teeth for the longest, and in a week, she got 1 top front and 1 top side (that's gonna look funny in pictures, talk about a crooked smile). Her hair so so long and curly, and her eyes are still a beautiful blue.
Sacrificing so much for my baby girl has been so worth it. Sleep is so overrated, anyway. Would I do it again, people ask? It's tough to say, raising a baby is the hardest thing I have ever had to do, and I am so thankful that I have the incredible husband that I do, because without him, I'm not sure I could even handle her (24 lbs is pretty heavy to hold). Maybe somewhere down the road, but chances of a bad ugly baby are pretty high after this one.
So, although I still bear the scar of her arrival and the war wounds (aka: stretch marks and flub), I would change a thing about my life right now....well, except my neighbors with the barking dog and the hot rod car...
