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
