On the road again..!

So.. its been a while.. I have been busy and am finally getting organized back at my own place! I'm fitting in showers, cleaning.. and sometimes even eating!! And every day that its not raining I have gone for a walk with Abby and she seems to love it!! I think she really is comfortable in her car seat (which is part of the stroller) so I'm hoping it will stay that way when I'm driving!!

My Dad is back down for the weekend from his summer cottage so we are going to drive up and visit him. It is only a 15 minute drive, so I figure thats a safe testing distance. Then tomorrow its off on a 45 minute drive to meet her new friend Maddison! She was born a little over 24 hours after Abby was, and I can't wait for them to meet!! After that.. a week later.. I am going to really push my driving limits..! I am going to drive about 5 hours to my Dad's summer cottage..! I have no idea how I am going to manage, but if I can do 5 hours, I figure I can do anything!

Well..! My time here is being cut short by my once sleeping beauty.. hopefully I will get a chance to write a bit sooner!!

Growing fast!

So.. my little girl is officially 3 weeks old..! Time is flying by a lot faster than I thought it could..

She was 7lbs 13 when she was born and is now a whopping 9lbs 5!!!

She has also outgrown 4 of her outfits so far and very close to a couple more.. and the newborn diapers are too tight on her.. :( I wish she would just stop growing and stay small forever!

For the past couple of days she hasnt been sleeping during the day and I am still recovering from a c section, so it is harder for me to bounce her around and carry her. Just when I was going to give in and just accept that I was stuck with a cranky baby in the day, something wonderful happened! My brothers best friend came by with a swing!!

GOD BLESS SWINGS!!

I can't begin to describe how great it is!! She loves being rocked and it has different settings of sounds.. and she just drifts peacefully off to sleep..! That is why I am able to actually write this blog right now! I hope that it continues like this, but even if it doesn't.. I'll take whatever silence I can get!

Anyways.. hopefully I will be able to catch up tomorrow with the pregnancy blog and the labour blog etc.. BUT my brother (Abby's godfather) is coming down tomorrow and I only see him about 3 times a year.. so hopefully she naps enough before he comes so I get a chance to write!

AND.. for the past 3 weeks I have been staying with my mom at her place because my place is an upper level apartment and it would have been hard with the surgery.. but tomorrow.. I'm moving back..! So.. big day tomorrow.. wish me luck!

The Start of Something New

I have decided to start this blog to track the new path my life has taken me on. About 10 months ago I found out I was pregnant and now find myself the mother of a beautiful little girl named Abigail. She will be 3 weeks old tomorrow, so I already have some catching up to do!
The pregnancy was not something planned, so I find myself constantly facing obsticles and challenges I never imagined myself facing.. and gaining more respect for all the single moms out there every day that passes.

I won't have time to go over the past 10 months right now, as she is going to wake up any second.. so I will have to have some blogs dedicated to bringing everything up to date! All I can say right now is so far, every day has given me a new challenge to face and strengthen me as a person and a mother and I am learning a lot about life and myself.
