1 Month Old

It is August 3rd, and I am just now getting to update my blog. Whooosh. Motherhood. My sweet baby is sleeping right now, and she has been sleeping since 9:30pm. It is 2:30am. I am about to wake her up to feed her. I know that I should let her sleep, but I think it is best that she get some calories during the night.

Yesterday, baby cakes weighed 9 lbs. 13 oz. I am very excited, because we had some ups and downs with her weight gain, and it is sooo nice to know that she is on the gaining side. She has outgrown almost all of her newborn clothes, and I am packing them up one little cute outfit at a time.

This past week we went to visit the lady who will keep her starting in October. It made me feel so good, because she is soooo gentle with children, and I know she will give Eden lots of attention. She only has two children, and so Eden will only be around two other kids. That means less germs. We also went to visit her Godmother, Lori. It was probably even more fun for mommy to get some quality girl time. Of course, during the visit, Eden slept most of the time. She did really well in the car seat up to Lori's too.

This week we have two big events!!! We have Eden's big cristianing/baptism. It is going to be at a Methodist church, and Seth is becoming Methodist that day too. We bought her a beautiful satin white dress, and granny Lu bought her a white satin bow. Then, on Thursday we have our Bagby viewing for her newborn pictures. I am soooo excited. I bet the pics will be great.

My precious baby learned to smile often lately. There's a picture above. It makes my heart MELT! I love being her mom. There is no greater reward than motherhood. I am glad that I took more time off with her. I don't want to miss a minute of her life.
