So I've started blogs in the past only to let them get lost in cyberspace, untouched by my hands for months and months and eventually die out. But this blog I am determined to keep up with. This one is dedicated to my beautiful baby girl. She was born this Fall and just turned 3 months old today! My husband and I could not be more proud of her. She is quite advanced for a 3 month old, at least we like to think so ;)
I had a wonderful pregnancy. It was long, but it was wonderful. No sickness (praise the Lord) and no real complications. Just a little speed bump at the end, but that was fine. She was a very active baby in the womb, so much so I couldn't fall asleep til 2am most nights because she was still buzzin around. So in the womb, she was my Baby Bee :) Amidst all the Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream, Blueberry Morning Cereal, Granny Smith Apple, Sonny's Turkey Sandwich cravings, I also had many beautiful memories such as her first kick, her first hiccup (which she had a LOT of), her first ultrasound, etc. etc. It all went by so quickly, as time does, but it was brief, it was beautiful and I was so very blessed.
Her birth was quite the event... She was a week past due (41 weeks) and needless to say I was becoming a tad impatient. I was put on bedrest due to high blood pressure the last 3 weeks of my pregnancy which made the waiting game all the more intense. We ended up being induced the week after my due date and 16 1/2 hours later, we had a precious baby girl. It was really intense labor, I hate that dang Pitocin! But we made it and ended up with the greatest blessing we could have everasked for. Our precious Bee :) We even had a great family friend of ours in the room with us to photograph the birth, so we got some really neat shots to cherish for a lifetime.
So now, 3 months later, I have all these memories and happenings going on and no time to scrapbook or write in a journal, so I have decided to document the milestones with a blog post that she can read when she's a little older, if she's really bored and has the time. For now, I want to remember every little piece of the pie for myself, since it all goes by so very quickly. I can't believe my baby is already 3 months old... sigh. Before we know it she will be 16 and driving, 18 and graduating, 21 and have found the love of her life and then 25, and I will be by her side, as my Momma was with me, when she has a baby girl of her own.
I call her my baby blue eyed owl, since 1.) I am obsessed with owls (her nursery is covered in them) and 2.) she has the most beautiful blue eyes I've ever seen. Hence the name of the blog. I hope you all enjoy the journey. Going to catch you up on the last 3 months briefly in the next few posts. Ciao!
