I'm Still Here...

Thanks, everyone, for your sweet comments. :) I appreciate you also much and am so glad to be able to have shared this journey with you. And what a journey it has been...and continues to be! I wish that I had time to write it all out just now, but there is currently a beautiful little lady wrapped around my little finger (and that makes it difficult to type :p). Actually, I find that I've made incredible progress just sitting down at the computer while her Daddy holds her in the other room (of course, I can see them both from here and my hearing is now sonically tuned!!)...I don't even want to let her out of my arms, much less my sight!

I promise, I'll try and get my birth story mapped out soon. It was nothing like I thought it would be...and neither is this fantasy called motherhood. To say that it is amazing doesn't begin to suffice...

And to say that I'm emotional is the understatement of the century. Pregnancy hormones have got NOTHING on those that hit during the postpartum days. I just thought I was a mess before... :)

My baby girl is a week old today and it makes me wish that I could just stop time and enjoy each moment even longer...it is already flying by far too fast. Say a prayer for us today, if you will. Nothing terrible is going on, just the 'normal' rigors of new motherhood, I'm sure...but I'm not quite finished leaning on you all just yet. :)

I hope that you all enjoy your day today as much as I am mine. You're all still in my thoughts and prayers (often still in the middle of the night as that's still my girl's favorite time of day ;p) and me and P are sending lots of hugs your way. :)
