A Few Pictures


Thoughts

Dear Gabby,

Your seven weeks of life have been probably the best seven weeks of mine. There are no words for the way you have blessed my life. We have had a few rough moments in our short time together, but I cherish the bad moments as much as I do the good. Going back to work has been extremely difficult for me. I miss spending every moment with you. You are beginning to smile more frequently and when you do, it melts my heart. I look forward to seeing you each morning and evening hoping to catch a glimpse of your beautiful smile.

Things I want to always remember about this time of your life is the way your head fits perfectly into my neck when you are sleepy, the sound of you breathing, the smell of milk on your breath, the sounds you make while you sleep, and the way you look for me when you hear my voice. I have many favorite moments of our day, but my most favorite has become rocking with you in the evening. I can rock and stare at you for as long as I wish, and sometimes you stare back at me. Other times you are peacefully sleeping, but we are quiet together, just you and me.

You are my little peanut, my angel, our little princess.

Love,
Mommy

One Month


Has it really been one month (and a few days)?!?!?! It has been a wonderful month. Gabby is truly a blessing. She had her one month appointment on Thursday and she is up to 8lbs. 10oz. and is now 21 inches long! She is growing like a weed. She also sleeps like a champ. She will go down around 11:00pm, get up between 4:00 and 5:00am and then sleep til about 8:30am. We can handle that! She isn't much for naps, so sometimes our days get a little rough if she has a day where she only cat naps. Gabby loves to take a bath and is really an all around great baby. We are spoiled!
Daddy has gone back to work and we have been on our own for a week now. It has been tough, but we have made it to the halfway point! We miss Daddy very much and can't wait for him to come home! 
Enjoy the pictures. Two are from her newborn pictures at 11 days and the others are from this week.
