Ava's 1st Christmas....2 months old!

Well, I have to say this new phase we have entered is WAY better then the brand new newborn phase (I am not a fan of!) She smiles, coos and I now know what her cries mean! That makes life a lot easier! Sans and I are really enjoying her. I don't want to jinx it but she has been only waking up once at 4 or 5 am. FABULOUS!! Let me just say mama getting some sleep is VERY important for my coping skills! We just hope it continues!

Our 1st Christmas was so nice. We spent Christmas Eve with Sans's family. We had a lot of laughs and they just all fussed over Ava! Her cousins, Brock & Liam just LOVE her to pieces. It was absolutely adorable 6 year old Brock was just staring at her and looks at me and says, "Ava just looks so cute in her dress!" So sweet! We spent Christmas day with my family. My cousin stopped by and they got to meet Ava for the first time. Missing was my sister, brother in law and kids, but we got to ichat so that made it sweeter.

So let's just say life is getting much easier with baby! We are planning on moving down to San Diego sometime soon. It will be so much easier having no commute and being close to my parents.

I am thinking 2010 will be another happy year! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

6 weeks!

Well, I don't have any photos...she pretty much looks the same just a tad bigger! We are thinking she resembles her daddy with a few of my features! I FINALLY got a smile today for making funny faces and sounds! Hopefully it wasn't just gas! It warmed my heart and really what I needed! This newborn stuff is tough! I will be honest I have had my moments of having a hard time adjusting to this mom stuff. I get overwhelmed at having to run a business and take care of this new little person. I am the type who can't stand to have tons going on in my life all at the same time. I like my life to be as less stressful as possible. I just can't cope well if it is the other way and let me tell you it has been a little much lately! I just have to cry at times to feel relief from feeling overwhelmed. It helps and then I am able to keep on going. Luckily, every mom I have talked to says that these first 3 months are the roughest and then all of a sudden the light turns on and it just gets easier. I am banking on that!!! It is tough to have these feelings because we wanted this for so long, so I feel like I should just be in a little love story right now with my newborn. I am sure I will be writing a post soon that will proclaim that we have turned the corner and it is easier...for now I am hanging on for this crazy ride!
