I can't believe . . .

So first of all I should start with saying I am sorry I have been such a crappy blogger, but even worse I have been a crappy blog stalker.  I feel like we have kind of been in survival mode lately and blogging/stalking just hasn't made it on the list lately.  So for those who read this and for those whose blogs I usually stalk and comment on, I am sorry I have fallen so far behind. 


What that said . . . Madison is 8 weeks old today!  I honestly can't believe how fast time has been flying.  She is so fun! 


  • She loves to sit up and see the world. 
  • She smiles all the time.  She is really close to laughing/giggling.
  • She can almost roll over but can't figure out how to get over her arm.
  • She plays a fun game where you stick your tongue out at her and she sticks hers out at you.
  • She LOVES bath time more than anything else.
  • She HATES wet diapers and being cold (hence the screaming when bath time is over).
  • She sleeps long stretches which makes her momma happy.  Last night she slept from 8:30 pm until 3am.  Then she woke up for 15 minutes to eat and went right back to sleep until I woke her up at 6am to go to daycare! 
She started daycare yesterday which was harder on me than it was on her but we both got through it.  Today has been much better. 


Honestly, I look at her every day and think of how I cannot believe that she almost wasn't.  I can't believe this tiny little amazing human almost wasn't a part of our lives.  My BFP cycle was our last shot.  Our hail mary (as my husband likes to call it.)  And had it not been for some donated meds (from an amazing IDOBer) and a little help from my mom we wouldn't have tried that last cycle.


I will admit it.  I am one of "those" moms who cries at everything.  I blame it on the hormones from nursing but part of me thinks that IF has given me the perspective to understand just what an amazing gift she is.


Okay, this has turned into a sap fest, but really.  I am blessed.     


I will leave you with a baby smile!  How can you say no to that face.  I mean, seriously?!
