Yesterday was my birthday and I got the mostest sweetest card from Abriana…she even signed it…how fulfilling it is to have a child….for the first time I almost forgot it was my birthday…I have so much contentment in my life that I don’t have to demand everyone make a big deal out of my birthday. LOL.

Today I spent about 20 minutes with my child … max.  How sad is that?  Why are there not more hours in a day?  Why is it that BJ gets to spend more time with her than I do?  How did all of this happen?

The other day BJ realized something sad but true….other people just don’t seem to find our baby as utterly adorable (at all times of the day) as he and I do…. SIGH

Lately I’ve had a chance to reflect on the generosity of my family and friends.  Once people found out that BJ and I was prego, there was nothing but love.  An immense amount of love…even folks that I’m not extremely close to just showered us either with a labor of love or with goodies for my baby. 

It blew me away.

How can people be so free with their generosity?  And, how is it possible that I can ever repay them?  I’ve finally come to the conclusion that there is no way I can ever repay them…there’s just no way.  The only thing I can do is pass on the love…to others around me.  Isn’t that what the human race should be about anyways?  Helping one another?

Thank you God for blessing me with so many good people all around me and please help BJ and me to extend ourselves just as much as others have done towards us.

YAY!  Finally…new pics of Abri….Elephants seem to be the stuffed animal of choice…the cutest one Abri has was a gift; it’s pink and cute. 

Uncle Lou came to visit and absolutely melted when he held Abri.  I don’t think he even knew the cameras were going off.  His entire focus was on this little joy.

Abri loves looking at herself in the mirror…she can just stare for hours….she also loves listening to music and is mesmerized by any source of light 

Abri met her “first” friend this month….Grace was born just 9 days before Abri.  I was her mother’s “first” friend.

I miss my little baby…after going through 10 months of pregnancy with all the pains and discomforts that come with it and several hours of labor and a couple of months of recovery, it just doesn’t seem fair that I can only spend a few hours a day with my baby.  I wish there was some way of spending more time with her.  I keep seeing her toothless smiles and semi cries and absolutely sad frowns…I wish I could see more of her, it’s not fair.

Today my poor little baby girl got four vaccinations.  I don’t know who cried more, me or her…

I was forced, Yes Forced, to go shopping the other day because none of my pre-pregnancy clothes fit me.  And, as much as I continue to think that I am still a size 0, it’s just not true!  I had to try on the smaller sizes and witness the pants stopping at the knee before I accepted the fact that my body has expanded.  It’s really still very hard to grasp.

Today is my first day back at work.  I shed a few tears as I held my baby in my arms this morning.  How can I spend the next 14 hours without her?  She was curled up into a little ball and I just ingested her cute little nose and her pursed lips and her eyes with lashes a mile long.  I didn’t want to put her down, but it was 5 in the morning and I had to get ready for work.  And, now as I spend the hours without her, I wonder how Abraham (from the Bible) was willing to sacrifice his son…I never understood the attachment a parent can have for his/her child until now.  How was God able to allow his Son to go through such pain and torment?  How was He able to allow Jesus to be crucified?  I don’t know if I could do the same….

This has nothing to do with Abriana, but it was the most hillarious video ever.  I couldn’t stop laughing (cracking up) out loud!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRGW0zS-1B4
