Dear Olivia

I want to start writing you letters for a couple of reasons, 1 so that I can remember all the little things and 2 so that when you're older you can have a small glimpse at how much I love you. So for your first letter I just want to tell you a few things I love about you! 

I love how you fall asleep at night looking in my eyes while I hold you close
I love that at 2 1/2 months you loved me enough to cry the entire first day I went back to work because you missed me
I love your giant yawns
I love the way you blow bubbles at your daddy 
I love your big smile and how you coo and tell me stories
I love your baby toes
I love your kisses 
I love that you love to lay on your belly WAY more then your back
but most of all I just love you! 

Love Always-
Mom.

Time Flies

Even if your not having so much fun, time still flies! I'm back at work and have been for a few weeks, the first two weeks of July I was working form home so it wasn't so bad though. Working all day when I'd rather be laying around with Olivia sucks big time! I just want to snuggle with her.
 
Olivia will be 3 months old tomorrow and I feel like she was just born yesterday! She LOVES her tummy time and actually cries when you put her on her back, she started to do sit ups last week and I'm sure she'll be sitting on her own in just a few weeks! She's talking a lot and learning to grab for things even though she doesn't really have it down yet, its coming along. She flirts with her daddy and blows bubbles at him, its the cutest thing in the world to watch the two of them play. She's got good nights of sleeping 7-8 hours and every once in a while she'll throw me for a loop and wake up at 3 completely ready for play time! Its hard to turn down her smile already so I normally end up sleep deprived the next day, but she's worth it! I need to do a real 3 month shoot but until then I took this on Sunday and I LOVE it!! I can't get enough of her! 


on a deeper note, I'm starting to think I have a little postpartum, I looked up the symtoms and the ones in green are the ones I have... 

  • Irritability or hypersensitivity
  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Anxiety and worry
  • Crying or tearfulness
  • Anger
  • Negative feelings such as sadness
  • Loss of interest in activities you usually enjoy
  • Difficulty sleeping (especially returning to sleep)
  • Fatigue or exhaustion
  • Changes in appetite or eating habits
  • Headaches, stomachaches, muscle or backaches
that or it might just be my special time of the month... either way. I'm watching it. I actually feel a little bi-polar to be honest, one second i'm fine and then the next i'm either crying or yelling, so I'm pretty sure my hormones are still a little out of whack!

quick update

This is going to be VERY short, it seems like every time I sit down to get something done Olivia wakes up and starts crying lol it doesn't matter if shes been asleep for 5 mins or an hour! Anyways I just wanted to write down a few of her firsts! Shes smiling like crazy, rolling from her belly to her back and scooting {yes already and yes we know we are in trouble!} She has almost full head control and is already trying to sit up when shes laying on her back!! We have to go back in for another echo on Monday to make sure her murmur is getting smaller because at her 2 month check up they could still hear it. I keep wondering when the hospital bills will stop coming but I don't think they ever will! We had Olivias baby blessing yesterday and it was so wonderful! She was blessed by my dad and we had so much family there to support us!! Anyways I'll try and get a real post up soon!! In the meantime enjoy a couple pictures!
