Just moving along...


Our Little Angel!

The last few days have really gone by fast. Bella (she's been routinely called Sierra Bella and Bella) is just almost a month old! 4 weeks goes by quickly when you are home with a new baby. I've been fortunate enough to have almost 6 weeks off of paid leave, so I am trying to enjoy being home with her. I have to say though, being at my house all day is not the best thing. I'm not really a home body so the days when we don't get out have been rough.

Bella is FINALLY gaining weight. A couple of weeks ago we learned she was still loosing. Of course, being a new mom, I was very upset and cried most of the day (and of course, it was my birthday). Not a good day! Anyway, things are going better and she's eating a lot more.

I was doing well until this weekend when I started to feel sick. Saturday my throat was a little sore. Bella didn't sleep well that night, so Sunday was horrible. I slept Sunday afternoon then this week got even more sick. I am hoping I start feeling well soon...I don't like being sick!

Anyway, that's about all in the Barnard household.

I am sorry you have been feeling badly, but I am really glad that Bella has been gaining weight! I really can't believe that she is already a month old! Man, time flies. How did I go so long not knowing that you had a blog? I am really glad to have found this out and will be checking it frequently! Love you!!!

I smile (with empathy) about the homebody part and that being rough. I remember those days girl! I am the exact same way. And the crying part too! Being a new mom is joyful, but so hard too! Soak it all in, b/c it goes so fast! I hope you feel better soon!
