Finally. I have loved my baby girl since the beginning, but I'm only now starting to like her. She started smiling a couple weeks ago, and it is just so cute! She is also is much more content. I can put her down when she's awake and she'll stay calm for 5 minutes. Five minutes is a lot when I used to put her down and she'd start screaming the ( Read more... )

Sometimes it feels like I've been a mom forever and other times I'm amazed at how it's already been a month. She's already outgrown some of her clothes (newborn size). We take her to the doctor next week to see how she's growing and all that. I can't wait to her how big she is now ( Read more... )

Finally November is here. School will slow down and it's the month of Thanksgiving (my favorite holiday). October was a whirlwind, that's for sure ( Read more... )

Ahh. I've been in a good mood the past few days. School is about to start and it is my last semester of classes. That knowledge made spending $370 in books easier to handle. I have a feeling that this is going to be a good year, albeit a busy one ( Read more... )

It's amazing how horrible I am at keeping up this journal. I could use the excuse that I only update when major things happen, but that would be a lie. After all, one month ago something really major happened and it took me this long to update. I'm engaged. Oh goodness. I'm still looking at my ring and smiling, and I can't decide if that's ( Read more... )
