Settling in

So we're settling in to a bit of a routine. Still not a great schedule yet, but we'll get there. I find myself saying that a lot lately. We'll get there. I think we're finally beginning to emerge from our 6 week growth spurt. This one was much better than the last one.

I'm struggling to find any of my summer clothes that fit. I'm clear to start exercising again. Yeah!! I just need Baby D to sleep a little longer so I can do some bootcamp.

I need to say again how blessed I am to get to stay home with her. She started crying in her sleep just now, and I am so glad that I get to be the one to comfort her. God is good.

parenthood = on-the-job training

Well, parenthood is the most challenging job I've done. I've learned about breastfeeding and survived the first growth spurt. We're tackling making good sleep habits, and I'm working on being more relaxed about everything.

All in all, being a parent is better than I could ever have imagined. It's tough, and knowing how fast she's growing up already breaks my heart, but I love every second. I'm very blessed to be able to stay home with her.

Posts will probably be pretty short, but I'll try to write my thoughts and musings on this new chapter in our lives.

Darcy is already 9 pounds 14.5 ounces and 22 inches long.
