What I've been up to...

This is who I have been hanging out with lately.

She's quite the cutie. She'll be 4 months on the 15th and is already a gabby little girl. We love to "talk" to each other. She is fascinated by the ceiling fan and loves to hold long conversations with the ceiling fan in our family room, bedroom, nursery... She's almost rolled over on her own a few times and is already starting to teeth. I like to call her my Angel and my Bug-a-boo.

Soooo, I started back at work full time this week. It has been hard adjusting from full-time mommy, back to worker bee. But I survived my first week. Go me! I still have hopes of keeping my blog alive and want to thank all who are still reading my posts. Seriously, THANK YOU! I think I will try to post once a week and see how that goes. Wish me luck!

xoxo,

Isabel's Birth Announcement

Greetings from mommyhood! 

I had not intended to neglect my blog for so long, but being a new mom, I was not prepared for a lot of things.

Like how little sleep I would be required to function on.

Or how some days I would still be in my pj's with wild hair and unbrushed teeth well into the afternoon.

And that I would find myself making up songs, even singing commercial jingles, to entertain the baby.

Or how a simple little smile from Isabel would send my heart soaring.

Being a mommy has changed my life in so many ways. 

I did not know it was possible to love someone as much as I love her.

I finally got around to taking photos for Isabel's birth announcement. I had meant to take them much earlier but didn't get around to it until she was 10 weeks. And I'm kinda glad I had waited because as you can tell from the photos she was alert and smiling and so fun to take pictures of.

Upcoming posts...

Nursery Reveal (finally!)

DIY Fabric Covered Letters

Valentines Collage (better late than never!)

I return to work on April 2nd and should be able to resume to normal blogging again since I will be able to post on my lunch break without the interruption of little-miss-cutie-patootie!

I hope all is well with you my dear readers. I have missed you so!

Christmas Came Early!

I'm pleased to introduce Isabel Dorothy, 

born December 15th, 5:45 AM, 8lbs 2oz and 20 inches long.

She is the new love in my life and the reason I have been absent from my blog.

I'm pretty sure you won't hold it against me ;-)

Isabel wasn't due until January 2nd, however on December 8th I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, and on December 14th, my doctor decided to induce me at 37w2d since the baby was considered full term. And even though Isabel was early, she was still a big girl! I can only imagine how much she would have weighed if she had gone till her due date. My guess is close to 10lbs.

My husband and I are getting used to being parents and having our world revolve around our little bundle of love. I could stare at her for hours. I know that every mother feels this way, but I think she is the most beautiful baby in the world. She truly takes my breath away.

I have two last projects I hope to get around to soon before I finally post her nursery reveal. I will probably take the next few weeks off from my blog so that I can enjoy being a mommy, and perhaps clean the house which looks like a tornado hit it, but I promise to return, so please check back!
