Motherhood update

Last night Jared and I gave Lyla her first bath.  I was terrified she'd hate it and scream bloody murder.  But we were pleasantly surprised that she loved it!  She sat there calm and comfy loving every second of it.  Jared recorded every minute of it with his camera and she was too cute.  I never thought bathing my child would bring us both so much pleasure.  

Motherhood so far has been challenging, emotional, tiring, and amazing all at the same time.  We are so fortunate to be blessed with a very easy, happy baby.  She sleeps up to 5 hours at night, never cries unless she's hungry, and is so content no matter what.  I can move her about a dozen times when she's sleeping and she never wakes.  She's even sleeping in her crib at night in her own room.  We couldn't be more blessed.

So far we have been loving this new journey of ours and cherishing every moment.  I don't want her to grow up too fast and I definitely don't want my maternity leave to be up too fast either.  My only wish is that we were independently wealthy and I never had to leave her for work.  One can wish...

It's so great to hear such a positive experience! 5 hours of sleep a night sounds like a luxury compared to what a lot of parents experience. Hope you are still enjoying every minute!
