Two Weeks


Caitlyn Elizabeth is two weeks old today. Where is the time going? I about cried tonight because she is already too long for my favorite set of her pj's. So sad but good at the same time. While I am still a VERY brand new momma, I have learned a few things in the last two weeks. 
~ There is nothing better than a sleeping baby on your chest. 
~ Sometimes babies just need to be cuddled even at 3am. 
~ Breastfeeding is tricky, not as "natural" feeling as I thought it would be, and gives me a great excuse to hide away when Caitlyn and I have had a little too much party. 
~ Being pregnant did not make me feel beautiful. Being a mom does! 
~ Sending a daily Caitlyn pic to the grandparents, uncles and aunt is a must! 
~ Watching your tiny baby have blood drawn will break your heart. 
~ Public bathrooms are disgusting. Or at least they are when you are changing your baby in them. 
~ My husband loves being a daddy, and lil Caitlyn loves having him as a daddy! 
~ Life is good. Even at 3:30am while changing a diaper and feeding a baby, life is good! 
~ I love being a Mom. It has given new meaning to my life. It is so easy and so hard at the same time but more rewarding than anything I've ever done!

Happy Valentine's Day



I spent the day with my three favorite people/pets. Best Valentine's Day ever! I hope everyone had an extra special day with lots of love.

Caitlyn Elizabeth


Caitlyn Elizabeth was welcomed into the world early in the morning on February 4th. It worked out that the Hubs called his mom right as Miss Caitlyn was being born. He got to "be there" while sitting in Korea. It was an incredible moment. The Hubs got home on Tuesday, and we have been soaking in every minute that we can as a family. I can't believe it's already been a week since our little girl joined this world. Our life has forever been changed.
