So it's been just a little while since I have blogged- huh? It's like I had a baby or something!
So here she is! My sweetest little froggy! Savannah Marie was born 1-14-15 and she came out perfect,flawless, amazing, and all of the other words that mean I'm a mom now ;-) Oh yes- and with huge feet like her momma. Josh tells me while they were cleaning her up a nurse exclaimed "she has huge feet!" I am so smitten on this little girl it's crazy! When she wakes up in the morning I cannot wait to go see her because she is always so happy in the morning. When I get home from work she is all smiles and she just makes life have even more meaning!
Being a mom is for sure the toughest job I have ever had- but other than the no time off the benefits are pretty good! Savannah is almost three months old and I absolutely love seeing her grow and hit new milestones- there's always something new with this little firecracker! She already has my demeanor but is a spitting image of her daddy! I could count on one hand the amount of people who say she looks like me but that is quite alright because I think her daddy is pretty good looking if I do say so ;-) This girl is SO curious and ever since she was born she wants to see everything, sit up, chew her hands, suck her thumb, lay on her tummy, and sleep a lot! Since being born she has been ahead for her size and at her last appointment her length was 95% so she might just be tall like mommy! I can see some red in her hair in the sunlight but we won't be able to tell for sure til it gets longer- right now it's just pretty brown :-)
Some things I've learned since my little Savannah came out to meet us:
- Caffeine is so popular because of moms
- Sleep deprivation makes everything more dramatic
- Baby poop is not normal and can totally shoot like a squirt gun
- Bath time is so much fun until it's time to get out- then brace yourself
- Thumb sucking is great because they will never lose it- but then again when she's mad she makes a fist and cannot find it anyway
- Having a baby girl is the best doll you could ever dress up!
- Sometimes the baby's clothes get stained with YOUR food because you're always holding them at first- haha!
- Breastfeeding is hard no matter what they say- but you'll find what works for you
- Your cats will get jealous of the new baby and start acting like lunatics
- There is SO much more laundry just with one baby!
- There is so much more trash too
- Don't get attached to your favorite baby outfit- they'll probably have a poop blowout on it
- Baby girls can get pee all over too- don't think you dodge a bullet with that one!
- Always plan to leave a half an hour before you need to- but you will still be late.
- Being a mom brings more reward than anything I've ever experienced
- Having a great husband is priceless- especially when you just want a shower
So that's just a little bit about my sweet girl and our life as a family of three so far! More updates coming soon! <3
