About to fall asleep....
We are getting ready today for my parents arrival. They are going back to Canada after spending 4 months living in Puerto Vallarta for 4 months (they have a house on the beach down there). My mom is pretty excited to meet her granddaughter for the first time :)
It's snowing in Denver today, although yesterday was flip flop weather. Welcome to spring in Denver. It should be a shock in temperature for my parents, although I doubt the cold/snow will last very long.

Tomorrow (March 12th) Austin and I celebrate our 6 year wedding anniversary. We didn't have a wedding (we eloped....if you can call it that!) but it was the day that I married my soul mate, my best friend, and my better half. Since having Molly, I am overcome with how much love, admiration, and adoration I have for my husband and how THANKFUL I am to have Austin in my life and to be sharing life and this new chapter of starting our family together with. I'd be lost without him, and he is my better half.
We are going to be leaving the little one with the grandparents while we go out to dinner. I'm fairly confident there will be tears shed on my part when I leave Molly. I'm excited to go to dinner with Austin, but for the last 2 weeks I have been constantly looking after this little munchkin. It's good for everyone though, including the grandparents who are ecstatic to babysit.
It's also a bittersweet anniversary, as we no longer have Jones with us. Jones was our first cat who passed away in November and he was in our "wedding photo" we took before we went out to dinner to celebrate the fact we got married. We both miss him tremendously, although Miles is doing his best to try to fit the big paws that Jones left. RIP Jonsey, we miss you and love you.
Well, Molly and I managed to survive day 2 without dad around. I managed to not injure my daughter, although she spent most of the afternoon crying and screaming her head off. We think she might be developing colic, which there isn't too much we can do other than hold her and console her. She has been very gassy the last couple days as well so I have been giving her mylecon drops and that seems to be helping.
We went to visit my work today and show her off to everyone at the City. She was a BIG hit and we barely made it in the door to City Hall before I had swarms of people surrounding me. She did wonderfully well and enjoyed meeting my co-workers. She even got a diaper change on mommy's desk and then spent some time looking at all of the stuff in the office. I sure wonder what she thinks when she spends all of that time looking around. Right now she is hanging out in her swing and sleeping, she's been asleep for about 3 hours now. the afternoon of crying must have worn her out!!! It wore me out...

Molly had her 2 week appt today. HOW IS MY BABY 2 WEEKS OLD ALREADY???
Everything went well. She has gained a full pound, so she is up to 7 lbs 14 ounces. Doctor couldn't be happier. She had her hepatitus B shot and some additional testing done, and she wasn't happy about either one and screamed louder than I have heard her scream. But some milk and a car ride put her back into sleepy land. Her next appointment is at 2 months (so at the end of April).
Austin went back to work today. We managed to get out of the house to the doctor. I haven't showered yet, but I'll do that when Austin gets home tonight. Right now she is still sleeping soundly in her car seat. I'm about to wake her to check her diaper, she has got to be wet by this point. I ate Indian food the last 2 nights and that has made her gassy so I have the feeling I'm either going to have to cut out the indian food or "pump and dump" meaning the milk that I feed her after eating indian food will need to be thrown out since she doesn't seem to react well to it. She's a farting machine. It's kinda cute, but she definately isn't a happy camper.

My baby is almost two weeks old. Today was her official due date. Wow.

I sure have less time to peruse the internet these days. Sometimes Molly allows me to spend a bit of time on the internet, or in this case do a bit of work.
My baby lost her umbilical cord stump this morning. When I changed her it was in her pjs. Awwww. Now we don't have to be so careful and I has to be so much more comfortable for her as well. She loves to rest on her front on our chest (don't freak out she sleeps on her back!!!)

Trying not to freak out...but Austin is going back to work on wednesday. OMG. BREATH BREATH BREATH. My parents come out NEXT sunday so I'll have three days of me and Molly.
I'm having separation anxiety from my husband...and he's not even gone.
DO NOT PANIC

I've been hit with the lovely baby blues. It's a pretty normal thing for women who just had a baby, especially those who are prone to mental issues as it is (like me, who has anxiety and I've had small bouts of depression in the past) so we had a feeling I might get some of the baby blues. It's such an odd thing, because one moment I'll be super happy, and the next moment I'll be crying for absolutely NO reason. Austin will ask why I'm crying, and I really can't explain it. Frustrating more than anything else.
Otherwise things are going well. We took our first trip to Target today to buy some supplies and diapers. I had to do a diaper change in the middle of the trip so that was fun :) Tomorrow we'll leave her for the first time and go to lunch to celebrate the birthday of some friends. Grandma and Grandpa will be coming over to watch Molly. I'm pretty sure that there will be a lot of tears as I attempt to leave my daughter for the first time.
We are trying to deal with the sleep deprivation that happens when you have an infant. Neither one of us has much ability at this time to do any complex tasks what so ever. I assume the sleep deprivation (or the ability to cope with the deprivation) will get easier as time goes on...
But life with Molly is great. I often stare at my daughter in absolute amazement that we created this wonderful little human being. And then I look at my wonderful husband and become overwhelmed with happiness and emotion about how great my life is, and how thankful I am to have what I have.
And here roll the tears...
