One month!

I can't believe that Malea is already a month old. This month has flown by in some aspects and drug on in others. :) I guess I'm just adjusting to life as a stay-at-home mom. Last night Malea gave me the best "one month" gift, she slept from 9pm all the way until 3am, then I fed her again at 6:30am and she slept until 9:30am!!! Now if only I could learn how to go to bed a 9pm when she does I'd be getting tons of sleep! :) However it is nice to have some hubby time after she goes down so I'll settle for going to be about 10pm. I'm incredibly grateful that Malea got my sleeping habits from when I was a baby and not Matt's sleeping habits, PRAISE THE LORD!!!

Over all I'd say this was a successful month. Malea is still alive--I didn't break her on accident, Matt and I are still alive--she didn't kill us, and over all I'd say we are a happy family. She has definitely had some bad days but I haven't had to call my mom crying since week 2 and progressively each week gets a little better. She has adjusted extremely well to the Baby Wise schedule (I started her very early) which has made my life a little easier since I'm a very schedule-oriented person. :) Matt and I have also been very blessed to have my parents here in town because already we have been out on 3 dates and to church once without her.

I also want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you that have been bringing us dinners!!! It has been such a blessing to have so many of our friends and family members bringing us dinner and it has definitely made adjusting to life with a baby a lot easier since it's one less thing that I have to worry about at the end of the day. :)
