Went to Lowes today. Two times.

Bought a washer and dryer.

Came home with a cactus.

The washer and dryer will be delivered later.

Day 66

A couple of cute Cadence faces! I just happened to catch the first one at the "wrong" time. She is definitely her father's daughter! :)

Monday Morning Musings - This last month

It's been an interesting month since my last post. Some of it's been great and some has been not so great. Nothing horrible has happened. I've just had an interesting time adjusting to life as a mother. Lots of mental and emotional turmoil. I decided to talk to my doctor about it and we decided that I was probably suffering from Postpartum Depression and needed some medication. It kind of surprised me because I wasn't feeling particularly sad or "depressed." Just really, really extremely anxious about everything. And that's just not me. But after just about a week and a half on the medication, I started feeling much better and now I feel back to normal! Hooray for modern medicine!

Now for the great parts. Cadence started smiling! She's such a smiley baby now! It's so cute and is a sanity saver!

She's also starting to enjoy her play gym a bit more. She makes all kinds of cute coos and grunts as she's playing.

And, unbelievably, she slept for SIX STRAIGHT HOURS one night this week! I've been lucky if she did four and I got three. I'm hoping for a few more sixers!
