Well it's 3am and I'm sitting in the recliner with a sleepy baby in my lap. Oh how I love this recliner in the wee hours of the night!! I should have headed back to bed once Brooke drifted back to sleep after her feeding, but now I'm wide awake. I thought I'd take this opportunity to update everyone on our life these last couple weeks.
First of all, I have to mention that we are so lucky to have such a beautiful baby girl! I look at her daily in complete awe of how perfect she is! She is already 7 weeks old and learning so much every day. I think my favorite thing so far is her constant smiles and giggles! Brooke is definitely a morning person which always starts out the day perfectly! She smiles and coos for what seems like forever in the mornings. We've got some really cute videos of it!
We really have been having a blast! Brooke and I enjoy our walks during the week while daddy is at work, and always look forward to him coming home. There really is nothing better than the huge smile she gets the second he walks in the door! I have to say that Chad is the best daddy in the whole world! My heart just melts seeing him with her.
I had my 6 week post partum appointment last Friday and it went great! According to my midwife, I am completely healed! Yahoo! It really is amazing to me how much a woman's body can go through and how quicky it can heal! I started P90X last week too. P90X is a home exercise program that focuses primarily on muscle confusion. Chad and I did it last year and I got really good results, so I thought this would be a perfect program to get me back in shape. I'm doing the lean version of the program this time, so I'm excited to see how it goes! I'll keep you all updated on my progress as the 90 days pass.
Oh, we went on our first walk as a family yesterday along Goldsburough Creek. It was so nice to put Brooke in her front pack and just go! I did have to bundle her up like it was winter, though. You wouldn't think it was August if you saw her outfit! haha. Lilly loved it too. She is such a great dog! Here are a couple pictures of our walk.
Well I should head off to bed. Have a great week everyone!! Thanks for reading :)
Love reading your stories, you are the perfect family. Maureen, Perth, WA
