Time is Flying!!!

Well my little Maya is eight weeks old today! Unreal. I remember every tiny little detail about April 8th. However, it's funny that the long days of waiting for her to arrive seem SO long ago. Maya is so fun with all her big grins and coos. Every day when I go pick her up in the morning, I fall in love even more. I have to say that before baby, I sometimes had problems with patience. I often worried if I would lose my patience easily with a crying newborn. But it's like this whole new Emily developed when I gave birth to her. Even on her fussiest days, instead of getting impatient that I can't figure out what's wrong with her, I just stay calm and do what I can to comfort her. Now I realize that will become harder when she hits her terrible twos but we will take it one day at a time!! :) She is becoming less fussy as we learn more and more about each other each day. We are falling into a routine. We feed, play, sleep and it's working out pretty well now. We thought she hated the swaddle after week 2 so we stopped. We recently revisited the swaddle and now she is sleeping awesome at night! Who knew!? (Well, BJ did since she was the one who gave me the idea!!) Sunday was the first night we put her in her crib. She had been taking her naps in there since week three but for some reason it was really hard for me to part with her at night! As Sunday rolled on by, I kept getting so sad, but when the time came to lay her down, it was actually pretty uneventful!! Khalid thought I would come to bed crying but I was fine! We all slept wonderful that night which was such a surprise to me. I really need to finish decorating her room though so she has some fun things to look at when she wakes! I've finally got some fun girly decor so I just need to get it on the walls. I'm adding some recent pics and hope to keep up with this a little more often.
