Damn, it feels good to be me!

Sometimes I need to watch the news or listen to the radio to get something to spark my interest for a blog. Sometimes it's more personal and I just write from the soul. Today I sat down to write my post and nothing. No news story or personal issues are on my mind today. Today that only thing on my mind is how I am going in for my 6 week post-pardum check and am trying to figure out where the last 6 weeks have gone.

Evie has blended so well into our family. She has completed our circle and we feel complete. It's amazing how Addison took to her like a glove. She hasn't once shown jealousy. She gives her kisses and hugs constantly and when she doesn't want her around she just ignores her or throws a paci at her!

Billy and I feel fortunate that most nights we are only woken up once or twice for a feeding or diaper change. She is such a good baby there are times I forget she's in the room! In the last week or so Evie has been awake a lot more. It's so fun listening to her coo and look at the world. She has the best facial expressions and smiles a little now. She definitely knows who I am; at the sound of my voice she is looking for something to eat! And, believe it or not, she no longer looks like Addie and Billy! People have started to tell us she looks like me or my mom! Yay, I can claim this child!!

It's amazing how much love I can carry in my heart. I wondered for a good portion of my pregnancy how I was going to love another baby as much as I love Addie but it was so easy. I now understand when I would say to my mom, "you love Joe more" she always told us she loved us the same. I figured that it was impossible to love the second as much as the first but it isn't. My love for my girls pours over and I just can't believe I am lucky enough to be there mom.

I am saddened how fast these six weeks have gone. It's a stark remind how fast time moves. I almost have a 2 year old! It blows my mind that Addie is talking, eating on her own and has opinions. It wasn't that long ago she was just like Evie is now; dependent. I am afraid of how fast the next 6 weeks will go.

I guess that saying is true: time flies when you're having fun. Damn, it feels good to be me!
