"Girly Girl" or "Tom Boy"?

         I often wonder what Amelia will be like when she gets older.  Will she be a “girly girl” or a “tom boy”?  Me, I was a little of both.  One of my favorite things to do was climb trees.  If I was outside, I was in a tree somewhere.

         On the other hand, I loved dancing.  Every year, I looked forward to the recital.  My family would all pile up and watch the ballet that I had been practicing for all year.  My part was less than five minutes with 15 other little girls, but I thought I was the center of the show.

         Will she like sports or ballet?  Hubby says she will be a Motorcross star.  Whatever she chooses, she will be the best in my eyes.

Little Miss Social Butterfly

Amelia is really starting to show her personality.  She’s the little social butterfly lately.  The ladies at her new daycare say that the other teachers come in there just to see her.  They said “she’s always happy and makes us smile”.  I couldn’t be more proud.

My Life has Changed

       Two weeks before I was due, I was driving to the grocery store and it dawned on me…. I will never be able to come and go as I please again.  My heart started pounding and my palms got sweaty.  Two weeks passed and I was still pregnant with no signs of contractions at all.  My belly just kept growing and growing….. 
The Cocoa Butter Stretch Mark Cream supply was dwindling.

         On July 29^th, 2010 (two weeks AFTER my due date), my hubby and I welcomed the most precious being into this world.

 I knew right then that my life was forever changed. 

      Now, my heart still pounds and my palms stay sweaty, but for a different reason.

I don’t want to miss a second.

I don’t want to cause her any pain.

I want her to be the happiest and healthiest person possible.

(I'll save the labor story for another blog).
