Happy 2 Months, Natalie!!!

"It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself."

I can't believe my little girl is going to be 2 months old tomorrow. It seems like just yesterday I was still in the hospital ready to bring her home. These two months have gone by so fast. She has started smiling a lot...and talking. I love waking up to her smile every morning. She is happiest then...soooo not like her mom. She definitely takes after her dad there. She has also started loving baths. She used to scream and cry the whole time, and now she cries when we take her out of the water...that she did get from me. :o)

We take her to get her shots tomorrow....I am nervous and scared for her. My poor baby...I think daddy is going to have to hold her for her shots. It's going to break my heart to hear her cry out in pain.

To celebrate her 2 months I made cupcakes that say "Happy 2 months Natalie" She can't eat them, but we will take a picture and put them in her scrap book. I love my little girl...

Well, Chad just came and fussed at me for not being in bed yet, so I have to sign off...until tomorrow.

"The value of consistent prayer is not that He will hear us, but that we will hear Him."

I must start by saying that God is good!!! No....GREAT. Yesterday was an amazing day. Thank you for those of you who have been praying for us...lets just say God heard all of our prayers and they are being answered in so many ways!

Yesterday was not only a day of good news, but just a good day all together. Natalie and I started the day off together pretty well rested since she slept in her Nap Nanny all night again!!! Three nights in a row she slept in it from 11:30pm to 5:00am, woke up to eat, and then stayed in bed with Chad and I until about 8am. Yesterday was an early day since I took the kids to school while she stayed in bed with her daddy. He went to work for a little while and then came home for lunch. I have been asking for a recliner since before she was born, so I decided that we were going to tag along with him when he went back to work so that we could go look at recliners when he was done. We went to his office and to see a client, and then we were off to shop!!! I didn't think we were going to buy it right then, but we found one that we loved and is sooooo comfy!!! We were supposed to go pick it up today, but it has been raining all day...stupid rain. After we bought our recliner, we got some more good news (or at least I think so). Then Chad decided he wanted to take me to watch Avatar in 3D since I hadn't seen it, so we took Natalie to his parents' house and headed to the movies. I must admit, I was not at all interested in watching that movie, but WOW!!! Probably the best movie ever. I wanted to live there....REALLY. lol

Anyway, we got home kind of late, and Natalie was off of her schedule yesterday, so I hate to say it, but she didn't sleep in her Nap Nanny. She was so fussy that I layed down with her and we both eventually just fell asleep together. I know...I'm a sucker.

Today I have been cleaning the house and doing the laundry that had piled up....BAD, while Chad has been watching Natalie. They are now napping on the couch...they look so cute. he keeps saying she's Daddy's girl, but she is soooo Mommy's girl. lol



Well, I have to get back to folding all of this clothes....ugh.

Nap Nanny...Everybody Sleeps

Well, it worked!!! Chad bought Natalie the Nap Nanny the other day, and last night was our first night to put her in it. She slept in it for four hours until she woke up hungry! It was nice to have the bed back to ourselves for a night. Of course the first 30 minutes she was in there I was looking over every minute to make sure she was ok. I am one of those looney tunes mothers that thinks her child has stopped breathing at least once a day because she is peacefully sleeping. But I'm not the only one, right??

I feel pretty lazy today. We slept about 6 hours last night, and I woke up at 6:30 to feed Natalie and take the kids to school while Chad stayed home with her. When I came home, they were asleep again, so I hopped in bed with them and didn't wake up until almost noon. Pretty lazy day...maybe it's the weather. It's pretty gloomy out. I think it rained all night because I could hear the thunder in the middle of the night. This is a perfect day to cuddle up to my little princess and watch TV and Disney movies all day...which reminds me. Does anyone know where I can get some of the old disney movies? Like Beauty and the Beast, Snow White, The Little Mermaid, etc.? I want to get all of them for Natalie and I to watch. All we have is Cinerella and new Disney movies.

Anyway, all this talking about laying down and cuddling up to her...I have to go do just that.
