Thank you all so much for your sweet comments on our "Hospital Story!" :) It's naptime once more, so I'll attempt to update you all on our baby girl!
Joy continues to be a "Joy!" She is a very easy baby! She is growing by leaps and bounds like all healthy babies do and is getting quite chubby!! :)(SOOO thankful for her health - I feel so blessed!) Yesterday was a landmark day in our house - she slept about ten hours the night before and I got her first real (non-dreaming) giggle!!! ;)
She is much adored in this house! She is such a doll baby and soo sweet. She loves her daddy - she went on a shopping trip with him just yesterday evening and enjoyed just looking up at him! (Mommy stayed home and finished dishes and laundry!) ;)
Having a newborn is quite an adjustment!! (Yes, you long time moms can say you said so...) ;) Even with just one. I think the hardest thing was not getting sleep! (And I wasn't even recovering from childbirth!) Change is always an adjustment for me - and adding a new member of to the family is quite the biggie!! I am so thankful for how the Lord is helping me personally grow - parenting is about my growth as a person almost as much as it is in caring for a child, isn't it?
I love looking into those little eyes and see her expressiveness, to hear her talk to me (may she always talk to me as easily as the babbles come!) I love watching her grow and seeing each new milestone - then look back and miss the bitty baby stage! (But we are OH so glad for more sleep!!) I love looking at her and thinking about all the things we will do together and the places we will go. My prayer is that she will have a tender heart toward God.
We are starting to get a bit of a routine now, and maybe I'll get back to blogging a bit more, or maybe I won't. It seems I just think I'm getting things figured out and things change. I know that's no surprise.... ;)
