Evie has caught her first cold bug from mommy! She has a stuffy nose and little cough that started a couple of days ago. Let night she woke up about every hour to eat or cry...just no feeling well I think. So, I let her sleep in the bed with me and Zach for a little while. That seemed to make her more comfortable and she rested much better. We have used up almost a whole bottle of Mylicon drops for her gassy tummy and I am now a pro at the bulb syringe...its easier to do it on patients rather than your own child!
She is feeling a little better today and has slept most of it...until Zach came home about an hour ago. I can't believe how big her head and cheeks are getting. Her Grammy says she is getting her own look now, and I agree--she is starting to look like, well, herself!
I can't wait for her to start recognizing our faces and smiling at us. Hard to believe that last year at this time, we weren't even thinking about having a baby and today we can't imagine what our lives would be like without her in it!
Being a mom is definitely the most amazing thing in the world. And seeing Zach hold her and take care of her makes me love him in ways that I didn't know I could. He is the BEST DADDY!
He dances with her when she is upset and sings songs that he makes up as he goes along! :)
The other night I was rocking her in the nursery and just started crying thinking about how much I loved her and wanted to protect her from all of the bad things in this world...it was at that moment that I realized why my mom still calls to check up on me and make sure that I got home okay, why she told me to be careful going down the stairs when I was pregnant and still gives me advice on everything...I don't know if I can EVER let Evie go!
