Oh Molly...you've kept me so busy I haven't been able to update in forever! I haven't touched my computer in weeks! You're giving me a little break here (sleeping on my chest after a rough day...) So here it goes!
Well you're here! You graced us with your presence April 8, 2011. Best day of my life. You are amazing. I can't even explain to you the amount of love your daddy and I have for you. You are so beautiful, smart and sassy. I loved your newborn phase...you ate, slept and snuggled. You were tiny!!! Then all of a sudden you are 2 months old.
Where has time gone?!? I love this new phase as well. Its so fun seeing you grow and seeing your personality start to come out. You are now holding your head up, rolling from you belly to your back, "talking," reaching for things (including my face which I LOVE), holding onto your toys and smiling every now and then. You are quite the hard crowd! It takes a lot to get a grin out of you Miss Serious! You do well most nights in the sleep department, but you were a little mean to momma last night! But as I say a lot "you're lucky your cute!" :)
Its so true that babies grow up too fast. I just can't fathom how fast its happening. I have to go back to work in just a few weeks and I hate it! I love our days together, even the bad ones. I hate the thought of missing any of your "firsts." I hate having to leave you for so long. I hate thinking that I won't be here to comfort you when you're having a bad day. Its going to be hard, but its whats best for us! I'll keep telling myself that and hope I believe it soon! :-)
In other news:
We had your 2 month appointment today. You're now 8lbs, 1 oz and 21 inches long. Tall and skinny like your daddy (but thankfully, you look like momma :-P, just joking daddy!) You had to get 3 shots and it was awful. I never thought I'd be one of those moms that cry when their babies get shots, but I totally was. I've never seen you in so much pain. It was so heartbreaking! Luckily you are a tough little gal and it only lasted for a couple seconds.
I will try to keep this up to date so friends and family can see how you're growing and hopefully one day you can read this and know what you were like as a baby (and all the laying around I did to keep you healthy! :D) I love you baby girl!
