The countdown is on (unfortunately) ...

Well the countdown is on ... the countdown until I have to go back to work that is :( I now have less than 2 weeks at home with my little princess before having to return to the wonderful world of work. I tear up everytime I think about leaving her every day, but gotta do what I gotta do and I will survive.
Update: Ava has really started smiling and "talking" to us alot in the past few days. It is soo cute and sweet!

Sorry so long...

Ok ok I know it's been a week since I posted. Ava and I did go back for a checkup last Thursday. Everything went great. She weighed 9 Lbs. 7 & 3/4 Oz. and was 22 & 1/2 inches long! Our girl is really growing!!!! I think the colic has been better the past couple of days... I just hope it lasts! She didn't want to go to bed last night. She finally went down for the night at 11:00 PM. And she didn't even nap yesterday. She had only had a couple of 30 minute naps all day. She wasn't fussy, she just didn't want to sleep. But when she finally did she was OUT. She got up once about 3:30 and that was it. She went to work with Daddy for a few hours this morning so that Mommy could get a little rest (Much needed, thank you daddy!!)

Just some pictures!

Happy Birthday Todd!!!

Today is Todd's birthday! He is 28. I have been busy today working on his birthday meal and things for tonight. I made HOMEMADE banana pudding, which was a first for me. It looks good, I just hope it tastes good!!!! I am also cooking his favorite meal... Ham, Mac N Cheese, and Butterbeans.

Colic sucks!

Well we have had a very rough few days. Ava has colic. We have temporarily changed her formula to a hypoallergenic kind that is supposed to help colic, and I am also giving her mylicon drops. She has gotten some better the last couple of days but still gets very fussy late in the afternoon and into the evening. We go back to the doctor this Thursday for a checkup. (which is also Ava's 1 month b-day!)

Holidays are over ... Happy New Year!

Look at my big girl!!




Well the holidays have come and gone, and I have to say I am glad! I love the holiday season, but it was just soo busy this year and I still don't have my energy built back up, so it was exhausting for me as much as it was for Ava.

Todd and I spent our first night away from Ava. We spent New Years Eve in Biloxi at the Imperial Palace. We had fun, although I missed my girl very very much and caught myself tearing up at odd times throughout the night. I did win $628 though, so that made the night better!! With the new year comes resolutions, and for the first time in my life I have to make the cliche resolution to lose weight :( ... I have been putting off the dieting until the holiday meals were over, but now I've got to hit it hard to get rid of the rest of this baby weight and get back in my old jeans!!!

Ava and I got all bundled up this morning (see picture above) and went to Waynesboro to birthday shop for Todd. His birthday is this coming Tuesday- Jan. 8th. We got him some goodies!

Anyway, that's about all I have to report now I believe! Happy New Year everyone!
