6 Weeks

Little sister, baby, and I

We have been fortunate to have a lot of family coming to visit since the arrival of our little one. Most recently, my little sister. Next week, the other one will be coming. I am very excited, because in the six years we have been living down here, this is the first time either of them have made the trip. My mom came first, about three days after we had the baby. Jex's mom came next, then his dad and stepmom. It was great having all the help, and we were even able to get out of the house by ourselves. It really made us wish we lived close to family right now.


I can't believe our baby girl is six weeks old already! Everyone is always saying how fast time flies once you have a child, and how quickly they grow, and I totally understand that now. It is amazing how much they change on a daily basis, and also a little heart breaking. Since I am a new and paranoid mom, and she isn't the easiest baby to take places, I have been quite the hermit since we brought her home. She did finally go to church last Sunday, cute, pink outfit compliments of Auntie Tara. I am sad to say that I will be returning to work in two weeks, and my sweet baby will be with her daddy while I'm away. The problem is that she is such a mama's girl, and cries a lot when I am not the one caring for her. Any advice from you experienced moms is welcomed.
