Four Chompers
I was rocking Marley last night in our big cozy chair while we fed and watched the Dream Screen in her room. It was quiet, she was so relaxed ~ her eyelids getting heavy. As I gazed down at her I had a thought ~ this sweet little girl was in my belly only 8 and a half months ago! I then started to think about how she always kicked and jabbed my sides when there was music playing or when I was laying down. How amazing is that! I feel like for the last 8+months that she has been here has flown by in some ways and I never really think back to how it all started. With the first few months of nausea, weird tomato cravings, really sore hips and being super thirsty all the time:) So many changes, so many sensations. And then she was here...in my arms. She wasn't a little tadpole of a creature....she sure doesn't look like a little alien like she did in the second ultrasound. I remember tearing up the first time I heard that little heartbeat and now here she is...in my arms ~ just chillin':) Holy smokes life is nuts ~ I made this, we made this! Now she has grown ~ 18 +lbs from the little 7 lbs 15oz ~ still has the cute head of hair ~ the biggest, brightest blue eyes you have ever seen, the sweetest smiley face and 4 big chompers! 2 down, 2 up ~ so funny! And boy let me tell you ~ she'll bite you:)

To sleep or not to sleep? That is the question.
Well it's Sunday night or Monday morning depending on how you look at it ~ I unfortunately can not sleep (I find my biological clock is completely out of whack since having Marley) so I decided to work on my blog a bit. This past weekend was a bit of a "baby break" for me as I was playing in a ball tourney. It was nice to be able to do my own thing ~ not have to constantly be attending to Marley but I sure did miss her when it came down to it! Luckily she got to spend the weekend with Paul aka Daddy<3 I think it is so good to have that quality bonding time where a bossy, "A" type, and sometimes pushy mama bear isn't around critiquing every little thing. I'm not talking about myself of course ~ I obviously am not like that;) I know Paul really appreciates all the time he gets to spend with her. And I found that being away (even if it was only a couple hours at a time) really recharges my batteries and makes me a better mama. That being said I want to be around her every chance I get. I cringe at the thought of having to return to work. I know some moms want to have the career and I know some moms want to stay at home. I feel like I have focused on my career for so long(since grade 8 technically) that my mind and heart want to (and is ready to) focus on family now. When I first found out we were expecting, my mind made a complete shift from career to family. And I can 100% say that I feel this is what I should be doing, this is where I should be. To stay at home with my children(YES WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE EVENTUALLY:) would be a dream. I look forward to the day I can. Don't get me wrong I still have a passion for teaching and theatre but what I am feeling right now goes deeper than that passion ever has been for me. I truly feel I am doing exactly what I should be doing right now...well not right at the moment ~ I know I should be sleeping:) But you know what I mean. A new chapter has begun...I can work for the rest of my life but my baby girl Marley is only going to be a baby for a little while longer (of course she will always be my baby even when she is 80 years old)! She is an amazing little creature<3
Sweet dreams ~ I am off to bed<3
