LiFe As A mOmMa-((so far))

my lil baby is 3 weeks old! i feel like already she is getting so big & is over that newborn stage. it is somewhat depressing thinking about how slow the time went by getting her here & now that she is here the time decides to speed up. could we just slow it down?!?!

so while B is sleeping momma will blog to all her friends-

i seriously was blessed with the best baby on earth. and for good reason i am sure. pregnancy sucked...being so sick that i felt like i was going to die ((no exaggeration there)) then having consistent contractions the whole last 3 weeks of my pregnancy & everyone telling me i was experiencing "false labor" -which come to find out my darling lil B was stuck & couldnt make her way into this world without having to have a c section. my only advice out there for moms to be- listen to your body...you know more than anyone else does about it! after all of that & then having a rough recovery...i know heavenly father blessed me with a great baby because he knew if my baby was going to give me a hard time i would never be considering the possibility of another baby, ever. it is certainly way too soon to even think about that at this point though.

B has been amazing though- she sleeps practically through the whole night, only gets up once around 2:30-4:30...i am just as amazed as any of you! i really dont think i ever thought too much about having to get up at night with a lil one when i was pregnant but now that i have a job to do ((care for my baby at all hours)) i couldnt think of a better gift!

lately we have been reading scriptures with B- we are wanting to make sure she is a smart girl. for instance jake was playing mozart last night for her...after about 5 min i thought that was plenty & i also felt a lil smarter ((for changing it to something else)) back to the scriptures though, the first time i started reading them to her she had the biggest smile on her face. it was a very special moment for me seeing what a special spirit she has. she loves when we read them to her. i pray that i am always mindful of her precious spirit & that i help it to grow.

being a mom has been such a gift already- i feel like a new person. i have never been so happy in my life & more in love with both B & jake! seeing that our eternal family is growing makes me so happy & i realize what an amazing blessing it is to be able to raise children.

brighton is one very loved lil girl & i couldnt be more grateful to have her as my daughter. i love saying that "my daughter!"
