Catching Up...

Time has been flying. Its been almost 2 months since Nina has been home and the days are flying. I find myself losing track of time and the days of the week. My life is consumed with taking care of her...a full-time job. I'm not back to work yet and probably won't be going back until May so I'm enjoying spending everyday with Ms. Nina Nicole. She's doing so well. My babygirl is approaching 9pds and that is really great considering she was not quite 4 pds when we brought her home. Her appetite is increasing and she is up every 2 hours wanting to eat-WOW.

My baby shower was 2 weeks ago. It was kinda odd to have a shower now that Nina is here but it was the best. Being a person who doesn't really enjoy showers, mine was very unique. My friends & family did an excellent job and I was very pleased. Friends I haven't seen in years came to celebrate Nina's life and Will & I becoming parents. Nina received so many gifts that I still can't find room to put everything-we are blessed.

Will and I are parents...I think we're doing a great job. Now the attention has come back on us...where we stand...where we want to go as far as our relationship. Its hard being a parent and working on a relationship at the same time. I don't know where to draw the line. I know that we have to be in one another's lives for the sake of Nina, but what happens when we don't get along? We cant be selfish towards one another anymore, no more mini-breakups or stop talking for days...we have a child now so we have to be in one anothers lives. I love being a family with him but our lives have really changed and we both have recognized that we have a precious gift given to us from God that we must protect and for that reason, we must always respect one another no matter what.

The economy is out of control. Money is tight but I can say that I'm blessed. God has provided me the opportunity to be home with Nina for a few months. Its such a blessing when everything is costing $$ and I'm not getting paid. God is so good. I don't stress when bills come in because I know they're going to be paid. As long as the mortgage is paid, along with all the utilities and Nina is taken care of..anything else is extra.

Overall, life is good. I'm feeling real good about my life. I'm a mommy and I'm loving it. Nina is a great baby & she brings me so much joy. She has the best Daddy in the world who not only helps me raise her but loves her so much. I have a wonderful family who helps me with Nina and supports me along with my group of friends who are the best aunties & uncles in the world to Nina. I'm so blessed.
