It's hard to believe that my baby girl is 3 weeks old. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes it seems like months ago. To be honest- I don't even know what day of the week it is. It really seems like it was yesterday that Dave and I found out I was pregnant. This year has truly flown by.
Hadley is a good combination of Dave and me. She has his full head of hair- my hair fell out and came back blonde- and people say she has my nose. There are times that I look at her and I see all Dave and then there are times that I look at her and I see me.
She is a cuddle bug. She loves to be close to you and be rocked. She hates getting her clothes changed and her diapers changed. I am hoping that will pass, because the screaming at 2am during a diaper change is not very pleasant. She loves to eat and hates to be burped. Even though her Daddy is quite proud of some of the burps she has accomplished (I can't believe I am talking about burping!)
There hasn't been any HUGE surprises for me. I knew that I would be tired, I knew she would cry (ok SCREAM) and I would get stressed and frustrated, I know everything won't always be "fun" but I wouldn't trade anything for it! The biggest surprise for me is how protective I am of her. I think I drive Dave a little crazy- but there is nothing new with that because I drove him crazy before we had her... :-)
Hadley is a precious gift from God and I am so thankful that she is here with us and healthy. It is amazing how much my life has changed in 3 short weeks, and I am looking forward to the weeks to come.
