Sweetest things

It is truly amazing how much you can love a little thing so much. I find my days consumed with thoughts about our daughter. She is an incredible being and I am always so thankful that she was put here on this earth for us. Never did I think I could feel so proud of a little baby. I am overly proud at each little accomplishment she does. Rolling over, sitting up, now crawling a bit! Hell, I'm even proud when she poops lol. I look at her in awe and I feel proud of myself. I've helped her to thrive, taught her new "tricks", and overall I created this. I feel like everyday I fall more and more in love with this little baby and just when's think I couldn't love her anymore she gives me this smile that means the world to me. It was really difficult in the beginning but now I find I am able to enjoy things more. I'm not in the "new baby fog". I am living each day with this beautiful little girl and actually living not just surviving. Sigh. Truly thankful.

Hey there! Long time no see!

So apparently I am terrible at this whole blogging thing. I guess between the whole baby thing, crafting like a fiend, and running a salon I have very little time these days. Lol.
It's amazing to watch this baby grow and learn everyday. Still no crawling but trying really really hard. Still no teeth! I'm convinced she will have to wear baby dentures. She's totally pulling herself up on everything. It's kind of a blessing she doesn't crawl yet or I would never be able to take my eyes off of her for even a second!
I've decided recently that I want to pursue postpartum doula-ing. I find that since I have had this baby, all I want to do is help other new mommies. I want to be the voice that I didn't have that said, "just go with your gut!" I over thought a lot of things and wish someone would have said to me "what do you feel is right?" Every time I finally just went with my gut it turned out to be the best decision. In case you don't know what a postpartum doula is, it is someone who helps out within the first few weeks of having a baby. It is important for the mom to just be with her baby and bond. Postpartum doulas help with light cleaning meal prepping and helping the mom with anything she needs in regards to baby (nursing, soothing, etc.) I've always loved helping people with anything and I think this would be awesome to help someone in those crazy first couple if weeks. I know I appreciated any and all help I got.
Well I think that's about all that's new with the Newman household. Just enjoying this beautiful baby each and every day!
