3 month update

I really honestly thought that I would have time to update this thing. I don't even get a chance to check my e-mail regularly so it would be a miracle for me to blog once a week. So here's a quick peek into my life over the last little while.

I have written out the birth story, which I will add to this thing and to her baby book (I swear I will!)

Avery is wonderful, rarely cries and is thriving on the breastmilk. I never thought that I would be breastfeeding so successfully. I think it is the most wonderful thing I have ever done.

Avery is still sleeping with us in our bed. We have a co-sleeper now, which we just bought and I am trying to slowly get her used to it. I think I am having a harder time with the separation than she will. I think that the reason I get so much sleep is because she sleeps beside me and only wakes up once or twice to nurse, and then it is only for a few minutes.

She doesn't nap regularly yet. Sometimes she'll nap in the morning for an hour, sometimes more. Her afternoon nap is usually longer. Most of the time she falls asleep on me or in the Snugli.

Motherhood is wonderful and lonely. It is so much hard work and so rewarding at the same time. I have never been so busy in my life, but I love her more and more each day.
