Life has been a little crazy lately. What I have learned in the last month or two is that you should make the very most out of your relationships. Nobody is guaranteed a tomorrow. With God, that reality is ok and comforting.
Ruby is four months old. I'm absolutely loving every. single. day. of being her mom. She brings me such joy through her smiles, giggles, roll overs, intent staring, finger sucking, head bobbling, and so much more. She has been rolling over for about a week now. This is great, however sometimes in the middle of the night she likes to practice this new trick and can't roll back over, therefore crying for momma to come flip her. Ruby will be getting her four month shots on Monday. I HATE seeing her cry. The only time that she really cries is when she is in her car seat, fighting her sleep, or getting her shots. Last go around wasn't horrible. She ran a slight fever for a couple days and that is it. I think it is much harder on us mommas. I know plenty of anti-vexers out there and I respect whatever choice you make for your child, because in the end we are all doing what we think is best for them. For Ben and I, we are pro vaccinations.
Did I mention that Ruby is sleeping in her crib? She is and it is GREAT! Ben is not the quietest person in planet. I love you babe, but you are kind of clumsy. He would bang into the wall going into the bathroom, shut and open the door as loud as one possibly can, not shower until right before bed when Ruby is already sleeping. Now, I get that we are supposed to have noise and have her be a little used to that kind of thing, and she would generally do really well. BUUUT, sometimes when you are super tired and you worked really hard to get your dear one down and sleeping...it's a bit frustrating when she would wake up from the toilet flushing. Ha, end of rant, she is now in her crib in her own room and rocking it! I think it was much harder on me, but now that she is in there it is great. She sleeps well and we sleep well. One of the biggest perks is that I get to stay up late and read. I just finished the book, Orphan Train. My sister just told me about Kindle Fire's and how you can read E-Books from your local library. How cool is that? Well, I ordered one last night! I can't wait to get my reading on! Any book recommendations? I don't like sad or suspenseful books.
Today I went to my first MOMS club meeting. It will be so good to get to know other moms in my surrounding community. I even met a mom who had her baby on the same exact day as me in the same hospital! How cool is that? I'm also going to be joining MOPS through my church in the fall.
Well, that is life lately. If you think of it, would you lift my Dad and family in your prayers? My dad started the chemo pill about a week ago. He has been feeling as well as he can be I think. Most of his pain right now is coming from the hip that he broke a couple of weeks ago. Like I mentioned that nobody's life is guaranteed. I pray that you all will/know Jesus and can trust His plan and know that whatever happens in this world is temporary and that eternity is what matters most. If you have any questions (not that I have all the answers) about that please email me at anne.harvey7@gmail.com or message me on Facebook. I would love to chat about it!
Ruby at 1 hour old and Ruby at 4 Months. Time sure flies when you're having fun! :)
