Right Now

Waking up once a night.
Working on this whole sleep thing.
Nursing for what seems like most of the day.
Feeling back to normal after my c-section.
Worrying as every new mom does.
Thinking  about how time seems to be going by to quickly.
Enjoying the sweet smiles we are starting to get.
Wearing my hair up in a messy bun ALL THE TIME.
Contemplating adding Japan to our dream sheet of places to move.
Washing endless loads of laundry.
Listening to Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin as we fall asleep at night.
Changing 10 or so diapers a day.
Anticipating hearing her first giggles.
Driving a lot less these days.
Daydreaming about having enough time to bake something.
Reading Sandra Boynton books.
Assembling scrapbook layouts.
Counting the weeks as they seem to fly by.
Cuddling at night to get her to fall asleep.
Teaching her about our everyday life.
Waiting for Brett to come home each day.
Savoring these moments while she's still so new.
Rocking her to sleep in the glider.
Mailing out the birth announcements.
Documenting every little thing.
Crying tears of happiness whenever I see her and Brett together.
Loving every moment with this sweet girl.
