Kari's Blog

I haven’t had much time to blog lately…a certain little lady has been taking up quite a bit of my time (not that I’m complaining!) It has been a full month since Abby’s birth and so much has happened! I am planning a post dedicated to her first month…be on the lookout!

I’ve been thinking about how I can’t wait for the fall…here are some reasons why:

• Our little sweet pea will be older and hopefully over her colic
• Cooler weather…it’s been over 100 degrees for FAR too long
• Walks outside as a family…which is dependent upon the cooler weather
• my birthday!
• we will look for and buy a house
• visiting family

I’ve got big plans for you fall…hurry up and get here!

We’ve also had several visitors over the last couple of weeks. It has been lots of fun visiting with friends and family and showing off Abby. Andrew’s parents spent the night last Friday so that Andrew and I could go out and celebrate our 2 year anniversary. It was so great to spend some time with him, get out of the house, and have a little break. We went to a restaurant called 135 Prime and it was delicious! We both got steak and really enjoyed it. We chatted about life, the past year and mostly about Abby! Andrew’s mom gave us a great gift too…she stayed up with Abby so that we could get some much needed sleep! It was so awesome…who knew that sleep could be the best gift there is?

Up next…Abby’s first month!

Abby has now been with us for 2 weeks! It seems hard to believe that 2 weeks have gone by. I feel like I can barely remember the first couple of days with her, maybe because we are so sleep deprived, but it’s almost scary how quickly the time goes. I have been wanting to write down her birth and the days after, but just haven’t had time. I know I will need to do that soon so that I can get down all the details.

I always knew it would be hard to have an infant here, but I now know that I really had no idea. It’s amazing how this little bitty person can completely turn your world upside down….but then you love them so much, it doesn’t even matter!

Abby is the coolest little thing that has ever happened to Andrew and me. She is getting bigger and bigger which we are so thankful for! I can’t wait until she has all the cute baby rolls. She LOVES to be held, rocked, jiggled, swaddled, and talked to. Sometimes she is not happy sleeping in her bouncer or pack and play, but she always loves to sleep being held. Many times during the day she is so alert, looking around, trying to figure things out. Andrew will hold her and talk to her and she just sits there and stares up at him. It really is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. She is not a big fan of sleeping through the night right now, but we know this season of her life will pass…we are just praying it passes sooner rather than later.

We are so thankful and blessed by Abby! Life as a family of three is great!
