Reflection

Since I've been back from my trip I'm finding that I have more time than I did before. This is because she is actually napping during the day!! The naps are usually only about 20 minutes, but it is better than nothing. She is a very active baby who wants to take in every bit of the world! I have noticed a lot of changes in the last week in her behaviour. She has started to smile!! And I can't get enough of her big grin! I think she has finally started to adapt to the world around her and is beginning to realize its not half bad and that there is a lot of love around her. I know it has only been 2 months, but it seems like an eternity for me. Looking back, it all went by so fast and I almost forget how she was when she was a baby!

A long first couple of weeks.. especially recovering from a Csection. It has been a big challenge for me.. and many times I have thought I wouldn't be able to do it.. but here I am today. Happier than I've ever been in my life.

I can't wait to see what Abby will bring to my life in Week 9!
