Embracing It!
For the last 2 days it has been very hard to get anything done. Emma wants to be held 24 hr a day. She won't sleep during the day unless I'm holding her the entire time and she is getting way to comfortable in her mommy and daddy's bed. I am now familiar with the "over tired" description that I've heard other parents use. So I do what ever I needs to be done so she will sleep. I read on a developmental website that at about 2 months babies realize they are separate from their mothers and start to experience anxiety about being abandoned. The site also said that babies have no memory yet so they don't recall that mom came back the last time she put me down. My house is dirty, I am dirty and my writing is at a snail's pace. Today I have decided to just let it all go. There is nothing I can do about it and really why would I? I have the baby of my dreams and she just wants to be cuddled all day long! I will never get these precious moments back so I'm going to ENJOY them!!! (although I would love any tips on how to get baby to sleep on her own, just for 5 mins)

I just wanted to say hi! I forgot exactly how I found your blog (I think through a comment that Emily Riggs left me). Anyway I've been following your journey and just wanted to say that Emma is beautiful! You're blessed to have her esp since she was so early! My baby Makenzie is around the same age so I enjoy reading the posts about Emma! I can relate to the baby milestones! Well take care & enjoy your adorable little girl!
I still find myself saying those words...."embrace the moment," because one day they will be older and not want us to just hold them and cuddle. Kinda like my blog title - it's the little moments that make life big! The laundry can always wait....
My suggestion is....PUT HER DOWN
