The Honeymoon is Over... But It's Still All Good!

Well these last three weeks have been CRAZY!!!! But with a lot of help from friends, family, doctors and the LORD... We have made it!  Better yet I HAVE MADE IT!!!

No one tells you just how hard this MOMMY gig is going to be.  Some people make it look so easy, but the reality is it's from from it.  It's one of the hardest jobs I have had in my life.  But I wouldn't change the sleepless nights, tears, laughs and just not knowing what to do moments for the world.  My baby girl even when she is screaming...

She's still my pride and joy.  Weeks 1 and 2, I thought to myself.  I really could do this, as everyone came by to visit, bring food and just hold our precious princess.  Little did I know reality hadn't set in (at least just yet).  Addison had her 2 week appointment, where she was back to her birth weight.  Even her Peditrician kept saying how beautiful and pretty she was.  (Hello... she's my kid what did you expect... Just kidding...) But it was nice to walk through the doctor's office as everyone just stared at her and said how beautiful she was.  I even think Jimmie was blushing about our "Happy Baby".  During week 2 we made our first trip back to church.  It was time for Miss Addison to meet all the people who had prayed for her. She was a hit.  And I Jimmie loved showing her off.  It was so great to watch.

But oh... little did we know that it would all come to a screeching holt, during Week 3.  This is when the Honeymoon was officially over.  Baby girl wouldn't sleep if we laid her down.  She would only sleep on our chest.  She was fussy, cranky and I didn't know how to soothe her.  I knew something was wrong.  My sweet princess went from a "happy baby" to a "not so happy baby"; however she was still keeping it classy... After several attempts to trying everything thing in the book, calling all of my mommy partner in crimes and even a trip to the doctors to make sure she everything was ok.  it was the classic thing.  GAS and Reflex.

However it appears that after some good meds and some new techniques on burping.. things are moving in the right direction.  At this very moment I am able to write this blog while my baby girl, lays no other place than in her crib.  AMEN.

Thank you for everyone who was encouraging this week.  Love all of you ladies...
