little miss sleepy head

Julia has been on a sleeping marathon lately (the past few days) she eats, sleeps, eats, sleeps- this morning she stirred for a bit and did her groans and stretches while I listened from the other room.  When at last it sounded like she really meant to wake up, I went in and picked her up.  She wiggled and stretched in my arms and then fell asleep.  I just held her and felt how deeply I am in love with her...the tears fell as I wept thinking about how my life began just 8 short weeks ago.  

We've got many miles to travel and I am excited to see where this road takes us.

a friend just sent this photo our way- our first family shot..

it's a rainy friday and Julia is taking the opportunity to have a lazy day of sleeping.  She is really such an amazing baby- sleeps through the night and laughs and coos and basically keeps us smiling from ear to ear. I had tears of joy last night as I watched her just chewing away on her fist and bouncing away in her bouncy chair.  It is true love.

three weeks today

our lovely little girl was born three weeks ago today.  March 10, 2009 we welcomed Julia Ellen to our family!

So happy to have today. I don't remember the last time I had a Saturday off- then again, I am not remembering a whole lot lately. I've heard of 'pregnancy brain' but I now am beginning a relationship with my very own.
4w5d- I am pregnant.
