Sadie's Nursery

 I am way past due to post the nursery pictures. But better late then never. So here they are =).

Way over due for an update

Well my world has been turned upside down since the arrival of our little princess. She is amazing.
Whenever someone meets her they always say "she is such a happy baby". She has a full body smile lol. She is extremely active and already walking. She says mama, dada, and Yay! She loves to go outside . She loves dogs and gets so excited when she sees them. She loves people and starts babbling to strangers and flashing her grin.
She is definitely a handful. She is a nearly perfect baby except for sleep. She hates sleep. I think she thinks she is going to miss something fun. She is getting better but it has been a long exhausting road. When I was pregnant I read every book, blog, and article on babies sleeping. Maybe I some how knew this would be an issue. But all those authors never met my little one lol.
But we are working through it and I have tried to enjoy the late night snuggles, as they will be gone before I know it. It has been a harder road then I thought but my little girl is truly a joy. I love her more than I ever knew was possible.
I will leave you with a video of my little princess walking =)

Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there. I know I have not been writing much lately. But I have been preoccupied with a special little princess. She is 7 almost 8 months already. She has grown so quickly. She is such a happy little girl and always on the move.

It's funny motherhood is not exactly how I pictured it. Nobody can really describe how hard it really can be. The lack of sleep, wondering if your doing it "the right way", and the 24/7 job that it is. But at the same time nobody can describe the joy that motherhood brings either. When you see your little one light up when you enter the room, the warmth and happiness you feel is like no other. When you see your child learn how to do something new and the pride on their face, it makes you glow with pride as well. It amazes me how something that can be so frustrating at times, can bring so much joy the next moment. So I have been focusing on all those moments. The moments that you want to take a mental picture of so you can remember when she is 16 and always out with her friends.

I have always wanted to be a mother. This past year my little girl made that a reality. The very first moment they laid her in my arms I was forever changed. It has been more difficult and more wonderful than I could have ever imagined. But then again many things we work hard for have the best rewards.

So happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there that have the hardest and most rewarding job in the world.

She has Arrived

Season of Change is Upon Us

My Favorite Thing about Pregnancy

I'm now 34 weeks. Only 6 weeks till the due date. It has started to go by really fast, and I'm hoping it continues through this crazy heat we have been having.
I have had a great couple of weeks. We had baby showers, and friends visit. It has been wonderful. Its so fun to see how much this little one is loved already and she isn't even here yet. I'm so thankful for my wonderful family and friends who have done so much for us in this new exciting time.

So I was thinking the other day that it is really easy to list the difficulties of pregnancy especially since I picked one of the hottest summers to be pregnant. But then there are so many great things about being pregnant. Focusing on them helps get through those extremely hot days, and swelling feet.

One perk for me is living healthier. At least for me it is so much easier to eat right, and exercise with the constant knowledge that its for someone else too. Of course feeling your baby move is amazing. Knowing that there is a little person growing and moving inside is indescribably wonderful. But my favorite thing through this pregnancy journey, has been watching my hubby fall in love all over again. The first time he felt her move, I will never forget his face, it was priceless. When she moves to his voice, or he sings to her it brings tears to my eyes. This in turn has made our love even deeper. It's amazing to think this little one is a part of me and a part of him. I can' t wait to meet her and watch him fall even more in love. I know that this baby girl will have him wrapped around her little finger in no time. That is by far my favorite thing so far through this pregnancy. I know its only going to get better when we meet this little one.
