Daphney Mae

So since we never gave her the appropriate welcome on Blogger I thought I was take some time to write my thoughts down. I never thought I could love anyone as much as my Sydney...I am utterly in love with this new bundle of joy! As I look back and reminisce of those first few weeks with Sydney I find myself savoring these moments even more. I'm not sure what it is, maybe the fact I know after I experienced these past few years with Sydney that the moment I saw Daphney for the first time I was head over heels in love with her! I guess the joy of having the privilege to take of this little one like I got to experience with my Sydney is just, well there's nothing like it. I am so lucky to be a mother. As Daphney is quickly approaching 4 months, I wish I could put life on slow motion. She growing and changing everyday. in a few short months we went from a glimpse of a smile (knowing it's only gas) to a full ear to ear smile with a little head shake when she sees me. She's already attempting to roll over and is holding her head up like a champ! We find that the car seat and the swing are magic. Daphney will sleep sometimes up to 4-5 hours uninterrupted in the swing. Speaking of sleeping my angel started sleeping through the night around 8 wks. Although we have had a recent set back, may be her cold. Since Thursday we haven't had any of those nights. She stated waking around 2:30a and is sometimes up until 5am. It's my fault she is up so long. I'm so paranoid she will get use to a feeding in the middle of the night,that I spend two hours putting her binky back in her mouth and not feeding her. I finally give in once it's around 4:30 -5:00a. So I'm hoping with the start of a new week well be a new restful one! haha

I knew having two children means double the work, double the baths, double the feedings, double the sickness if we get infected, double, double, double. By the end of the night, I crash...literally, I don't remember a time in my life other than first trimester of pregnancy where I would fall asleep in any place or any position. Where I'm so exhausted that I contimplate that I'm better off sitting on the couch is easier that walking up the stairs. There is seriously not enough hours in the day anymore...I think as of Oct 22nd, God must have removed like 2-4 hours from the day. haha

Apologies! I've been in a time warp

Seriously! Where did the past three months go? As I sit here only hours way of joining the realy world again, I am sad, scared, and sleep deprived. Sad because I am going to miss my little girls SO much during the day. I have enjoyed these past three month more than anyone will ever know! I am so scared that life as I use to know it, is gone. Will my bathroom ever be cleaned again? When will I have time to change the sheets on any of our beds? Or am I going to get so wrapped up in these trivial things like a clean house and miss out on the few short hours I have each evening with my children and husband. I prayed today, "Lord, please make my hours aways from my children feel like I'm in fast forward and let my evenings with them drag on..."

My apologies to all my blogger friends out there for not keeping you all updated. I found a new addiction to play with the last two months, facebook, which really fit into my schedule well lately. Although who knows after tomorrow what I will be able to have time for... But I did want to at least say hello, show off my girls and let you all know what's on my heart tonight. Hope to Add more pictures soon!!!
