Life as I know it

I have been told that I needed to start blogging so here it goes... as most of you who are reading this probably know that I recently became a mommy (never thought it would happen this soon!) and I have been blessed with a wonderful baby girl, Halle Claire. She has turned my whole world around. I can't imagine my life without her, she's my everything. She's 9 weeks old and doing fantastic! I do have to say that I think I have created a monster... she doesn't nap during the day unless shes in my arms or laying on my chest. She HATES to be put down for more than 10 minutes at a time, she screams until I pick her up, then she fakes these little cry sounds just to milk it for all its worth (she's such a stinker, I LOVE her!). I guess everyone spoils they're first born like that huh. I have her in her boucey seat right now as I am typing this and she's looking at me like "mommy you better pick me up if you know what's good for you (with an evil laugh added at the end)". I soak up every minute with her and cherish it! I can say that I am kind of tired of doing this whole parenting thing by myself... the baths, the feedings, the constant walking around trying to calm her down when shes screaming, the having to rock her to sleep, the dr appointments, etc. I know that her daddy can't help being away from us b/c that's part of his job, and I am not saying that I think he's a bad father for not being here b/c he really seriously can't help it. He knows how much we miss him and love him ;) I guess what I am really trying to say is that I am ready for all of us to be together and be a real family. It's only a couple of more weeks before I move to where he is and I am counting down the days! I just want Halle to know her daddy like she knows me. She lights up when I walk in the room and start talking b/c she knows my voice. When her nana has her and shes crying and nana can't get her to stop I take her and she knows my touch and smell and calms down within a couple of minutes. (Boy I just realized, baby's are pretty smart!). I am looking forward to the future and everything it holds for us. I love his family more than they will ever know, they have really helped me through the times when I was down about not being able to be with him. They kept telling me that time will go by fast and I will be moving before I knew it... and what do you know, it will be here SOON (yay!)! I know there are going to be ups and downs and really toughs times but I believe deep in my heart that we will survive and make it as a family. Well I guess now I have to start writing on here and keeping everyone posted on how things are going with us, but this is all I can think of right now, til' next time!
