She is.

Okay, so I'm not pregnant anymore obviously. We are now plus one healthy girl. I wish I'd had a chance to post more in the last few months, but looking back, they are kind of a blur. Not surprising since, as it turns out, caring for offspring is unbelievably time consuming. Even more so when you don't let them cry alone in a dark room - which I don't. If I did, I might have more spare time and although that would be swell, it wouldn't be worth it. She was quite fussy for the first two and a half months and it was rough, but she has been doing much better lately. I think it's funny how everyone asks if she's sleeping through the night. With the exception of feedings (and those don't count anyway right?), she has slept through the night from day one. Such a blessing. Although, I'm sure it has everything to do with the fact that we co-sleep (more about that later).

I don't plan to post a birth story here because frankly, it was traumatic. I am still processing parts of it these days and trying to accept the experience as it was. Though, I can at least remember the moment of her birth as an amazing experience and focus on that one snapshot in my mind. The postpartum experience has been pretty awful. I am still dealing with some issues that require lots of trips to various doctors that haven't, yet, really helped much.

We are still in awe of her everyday. She is so beautiful and we can't wait to get to know her personality. I will try to keep updating more regularly, but for now I have to keep it short. There's a sleeping baby in the next room and she's about to wake up for a snack. :)
