One Month Old!

     Amelia is one month old today. It is crazy how fast time flies now! I am planning on taking pictures of her each month and will write down milestones. I think this will be fun for us to look back on in years to come.
     We are really enjoying our days at home and love when we get to have lunch dates with good friends. I think it wears Amelia out though because she normally sleeps through them! She is a very good sleeper! We had a new first just last night when Amelia slept for 6 hours straight! She knows how much her mom likes and needs sleep, because she is just the same!

God is so Good!

Well Amelia is almost a month old and boy have I learned a lot in the past month! Just a few things that I have learned are:
*I love Amelia more than I could ever imagine. Its amazing how you can love a person from the moment you meet them. I have heard that so many times, but to experience it for myself is indescribable. It is just as amazing to see your husband become a Dad and the love that he shares for her as well. God is truly Great!
*The first two weeks are the hardest. After having something that extravagant happen to my body and not getting the sleep to heal was the hardest. We had a rough couple of nights where I didn't get any sleep, but we are now sleeping for a good portion of the night!
*Walks are a great medicine to feel better. Amelia and I are really enjoying this fall weather and have been on many walks. It has been great medicine for me to get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air. It has also been great for my recovery process.

Amelia loved her first DFL Conference! 
Amelia and I are loving our days at home! I feel very blessed to have the opportunity to stay home with her. After spending this time with her I don't think I could have gone back to work if I had to! God is so Good!
Even though we love our days at home, we love getting to visit Steven at work and take him lunch! 
Amelia is already a huge Cardinals fan!

Well if you haven't caught the drift yet, God is full of miracles! God has truly thought of everything and seeing our daughter makes the love I feel for God and Steven that much more. It has been an amazing experience and I know it is only going to get better!
