This is our first baby and we are really excited. My husband and I just celebrated our first anniversary last month and he's absolutely the love of my life. We have been through a lot together, and he is a huge source of strenght and comfort to me. We miscarried a baby back in November and it was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with. We weren't trying to concieve, especially during that really difficult time, but I believe everything happens for a reason and I feel so blessed! Now we are looking ahead to August, when our little girl is due! Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for giving us this baby.
August 20th
We're getting down to the wire! I've thought all along that she would come early, but now I'm just praying that she's not going to be late! I feel bad to complain, but I am getting so uncomfortable and I am soooo excited about meeting our baby girl!!! I can't wait for my husband to be able to hold her, because he's just as excited as I am. We have our bags packed, the nursery ready, and now all we need is little Mia!

I can't believe it's already been two months since I had Mia. It feels like yesterday. And now that it's been almost 9 weeks, i'm running out of excuses why i haven't been losing much weight. I don't know how some moms do it... i'm still totally exhausted! I love taking care of my baby girl and she's my life right now, but i just don't have the motivation to work out or go running.
I'm breastfeeding, so that's taking a lot of energy, but i wouldn't have it any other way. I'm still having to supplement with formula at every feeding, but at least she's getting some breastmilk, which is so important to me. For all of you mommies waiting to have your babies: get ready! because once they get here, it's like running a never ending marathon! time goes so fast! i wish i could go back to the day she was born and start over again, only with a little more sleep!!!
Overall, it's the best experience i've ever had! I love being a mommy!
