Update on Samantha
I know that it has been over a month since I wrote a blog, but to be fair I did just have a baby! So being a mommy is the best thing ever! I knew that I was ready to be a mom and have kids but I never thought I could love anyone this way. It is a different kind of love for what I have for Brad, I can't really explain it. Samantha is the most amazing little person every. She has such a personality, she has had it from birth. She hardly ever fusses and is smiling and making the weirdest faces. She likes to sleep with her arms up over her head, which I thought was weird but I woke up the other night sleeping the same way she does.
It was a little hard for me the first day Brad went back to work last Wednesday. I called him crying because I couldn't do it by myself. Which of course I can! I think I was just overwhelmed and extremely tired.
She has sleeps really well at night. She goes to bed between 8 and 10 and sleeps for four hours at a time. We really only get up with her once at night and then again around 5. So not bad for a newborn, eh.
My first outing with her by myself was a little scary. She had an appointment at 9:50 and I wanted to leave the house at 9:15 but as soon as I put her in her car seat she started crying. Which of course broke my heart. Needless to say we didn't leave until 9:30. She did really good. I did really good!
She can sleep through anything...the dogs barking, loud noises, being passed around from person to person. She really is an incredible baby.
Brad has been an amazing father and husband. I couldn't imagine going through any of this without him.
What else... I really miss my friends. I mean really, really, really miss them. It is like not seeing my family. I find myself reading their blogs and facebooks and find all these things going on in their lives that I no idea.
Some days I go stir crazy from being inside all day. But I really don't have anywhere to go.
