Hope all is well w/ everyone out there in the blogosphere! I know i haven't been around, so if anyone is still out there, hope you're doing good.

Connelly is 7 months old! Where does the time go? She is eating solid foods, pooping solids too (LOL), she is sitting up, loving her toys she has 2 teeth w/ more on the way & started going through the separation anxiety thing. We have let herself cry herself to sleep & now successsfully sleeping through the night.

We love her so much and are truly happier than we have ever been.

Above are some recent pics. Enjoy!

Till next time I write, have a great life:)

Easter - 4 months old

I can't believe it. She is growing so fast. She now likes to sit up, she really wants to roll over. She is SO smiley & she even laughs now. We are having such a blast and can't believe how much we are in love with her.

Enjoy the pics, I hope you are all well!!!

What a Year

Well hello again!

Sorry I have been so busy, that I haven't been able to keep up with the blogging world, but don't worry I haven't forgot about you all.

Connelly was 3 months on the 12th, I will have to post some more pics when they are downloaded. She is doing good, except she has a cold right now and isn't sleeping well. We went from 9 hours a night to 2 1/2 increments. It really sucks, so I am hoping she is back to her normal sleep schedule once she feels better. Part of the problem is I started back at work and I think that has messed her up a bit too.

One year ago today I got the news from the doctor that I couldn't get pregnant that month b/c my eggs were once again on my bad side. Little did I know that one of my eggs and one of Jeremy's spermies had a different plan in mind and somehow came together that day or the next. I found out April 10th that I was 5 1/2 pregnant. And today I have the most amazing 3 month baby girl. I feel so blessed. Thank you god for giving me such a wonderful gift. And thank you to all my supporters for the past year. It was such a nerve-wrecking year, but incredible too. I really appreciate you all being there for me with your kind words and advice and letting me lean on each of you.

I am sorry I don't keep up more, but I guess my situation has changed a bit. I am going to try to keep up, but I have to admit it won't be on a daily basis.

I hope you are all doing well.

2 months old

Connelly will be 2 months old on Thursday, I can't believe it. I am almost done with my leave and have just started to really get very anxious over that. I do not want to go back to work even though I know I have to. Just yesterday I was changing her (her favorite times are getting changed on her changing table) and she was so smiley and I realized that I am going to begin to miss those moments after I go back to work. I am going to miss her so much and I can't stand it. We go in for her shots Thursday, luckily Jeremy is coming b/c I think it will be hard on me. She has been really congested lately though, so I am curious if they will give them to her. At night I can even feel her weezing. I attached some of my favorite pics that we had taken from the photographer. I hope everyone is doing well, I am sorry I haven't been very active in the blog, but I am trying to soak in every moment of her before I have to head back to work. Well she is waking up so I have to go. Have a great week.

6 weeks

Tomorrow marks Connelly's 6th week birthday. I also go in for my 6th week checkup. The last 2 days have been really hard. I have been exhausted. Yesterday and today Connelly has been crying way more than usualy and I have been more tired. She is starting to smile a bit, but I still haven't considered any her 1st smile yet, not until she gives me a full out grin. I can't remember if I mentioned I got her pictures taken last week by this amazing photographer, I have been waiting all week for them to be posted. Well today she called and told me most of the pictures had somehow been deleted. I was so bummed, b/c the best pics were taken at the end of the session. We go back Sunday to have more taken, but when you have a 9lb 4oz baby at birth, they are quite huge at 6 weeks. And she has a little bit of baby acne. So I really hope she gets a lot more great shots and she is able to get them up fast so I can get the announcements ordered and sent out b/c I am a little behind on that.

Okay, well off to bed for me. Have a great night.

1 month old

Connelly was 1 month on Monday. Wow time flies by when you're a first time mom. Connelly is doing great. Breastfeeding was SO hard the first month. Miraculously something happened between last Friday & Saturday and now it doesn't hurt. I mean Friday I was still in so much pain, latching was excruciating and I cringed mostly the whole feeding time, but not anymore. It doesn't even really hurt to latch her anymore. I am so glad, b/c I asked myself everyday why I was still trying, it was beginning to not be worth it. I still alternate every once in a while with breastmilk in bottles, which gives me a nice break. Also she slept through the night for the first time Tuesday night. We put her to bed at 10pm and I woke her up at 7:30am. I figured it would probably be a one time thing, but she slept through the night again. Last night we put her to bed at 10:30pm and she woke up this morning at 7am. I can't believe it, I feel so lucky. I still get up once a night to pump though, but I am glad she is getting her rest. Anyways, I hope all is well (Martha, Jen, Nancy, Carrie, everyone else). Sorry I haven't been in the blogging world for a while.

The pic I took on Monday when she was 1 month old. We are having her pics taken tomorrow by this AMAZING photographer that takes pics like Anne Geddes so I am so pumped.

Have a great day and week.
