I've figured out how to type and hold a baby!

Yay! I have figured out how to type and hold Addy! Mind you, she's sleeping right now, but I'm typing with both hands! Hopefully, I won't have to ignore my blog for such a long period of time now. I've been wanting to write this blog post for a long time so it's been stewing in my brain for some time...let's hope it got better with time.

Almost 4 weeks ago, I gave birth. Now, tons of people give birth, but it really is a difficult undertaking. A couple weeks ago, I wrote a shout out to myself for trying to be healthy during my pregnancy, but now I want to give myself a super-sized shout out for laboring and delivering a baby. I did not want to have an epidural, and even though I was induced, I survived without one. Let me tell you, it was painful and it was hard work, but I am so glad that I did it. Now, I have no reason ever to doubt my ability to handle what life throws at me.

Ok, well Adelaide is waking up...so my post will have to take a time out...

Adelaide Violet

I am now the proud momma to a BEAUTIFUL little girl named Adelaide Violet. I am so grateful that God has entrusted me and Sean to take care of this little one. She is truly amazing and it has been a simultaneously exhausting and thrilling experience to be a parent so far. I am sure that it only gets better.

If you read my blog and you want to follow Adelaide, please visit her website www.babylanigan.shutterfly.com, the password is baby. I post pictures and updates about what's going on in Addy's world.

Ok, well Addy is getting hungry and I feel the tingle saying, "you've got to feed the baby or you'll be engorged."
