My First Mother's Day...

was FABULOUS!!! When I went into Kayden's room this morning to get her out of her crib, there was a note and gift for me from her. The note read to: mommy, from: kayden and inside was an itunes giftcard...I cannot figure out where she got the money to purchase it. When I finished her bottle and headed downstairs to make coffee, I found a little box from my hubby. A GC for a swedish massage, carribean pedicure and vichy shower from a local salon and spa...Thank you Baby...this was the greatest Mother's Day ever. Kayden and I are truly blessed with a great father and great husband! I have some tricks up my sleeve for Ken's first father's day. After this year, we will not give gifts...we just wanted to go all out for the first one.

Okay, so enough about Mother's day, I must talk about our sweet baby girl!

Quick Stats:
- 14 weeks old today
- 12.5 lbs.- 23 inches long
- loosing hair daily

Our baby girl is truly a blessing! She is consistently going down every night between nine and ten and not waking until seven or eight in the morning! This is AMAZING! At first Ken and I thought that something was wrong, but this is normal, because she needs anywhere from 14 to 16 hours of sleep a day...she just gets most of hers at night. Ken and I always joke and say that they poor thing does not realize that she is hungry or wet.

She is happy all the time and coo's and talks WHENEVER she has an audience. She started to laugh out loud this weekend, which makes me want to cry, because it is just so darn cute! She is also now spending time in her Bumbo chair, which she loves (see the picture). She LOVES to sit up so that she can see and grab for stuff. She has been VERY gassy but Ken and I are giving her EXTRA attention at her feedings to minimize this problem...I just pray that this is merely a phase that she is going through...we hate to see our baby in pain!

Please keep us in prayer...I am so itching to do this adoption thing again soon!!! God is so good and I never knew that life could be so good.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! I thought of you, as well as a couple others I know that are celebrating their first Mothers Day and how sweet that feeling was. It sounds like a wonderful day and your precious little one is just adorable! I know what you mean about the itch. The lady we went through for Isabella's adoption keeps e-mailing me "situations" and it is killing me to know that we aren't able to do it at this time. :)

Happy Belated Mother's Day! I remember how very special that first one was! All of the ones to follow are awesome as well but there is something about finally being a Mother on that first Mother's Day!

Blessings to you and your sweet family! I was just smiling thinking about how not long ago we were emailing back and forth and you were unsure etc. Now look at you....You have your precious baby and you are so in love! God is awesome!

Congratulations! I don't quite remember whose blogroll I came across your site on, but I'm glad that I did. Very happy for you and your husband and Kayden - looking forward to dropping in on you all often.

Gotta love Mothers & Fathers Day! I see tons of people in my girlfriends spa more on those days than any other holiday I think. The busiest is the girl performing the massages on the Vichy Massage Table. Tons a tips.
