One Month Old

Tomorrow is December 13th, Blake is one month old!  Here are a few new pictures.  I'm learning to use Nick's camera, so fun!!  We had professional pictures taken this past Sunday, I'm excited to see them! They will be posted to a website so I'll make sure and let everyone know what it is









This is what a tired baby looks like :(

Motherhood is pretty much what I expected, okay, maybe a little harder at some points.  Blake kinda goes back and forth with sleeping, one night she will do great, then the next will be sleepless.  Nick was out of town twice recently so I braved it alone....we did okay, but we were definately glad Nick came back!!  This probablly sounds ridiculous, but I didn't know babies cried so much ?!?  It's soooo hard to hear your child cry, I didn't know I could feel so worried and heart broken just at hearing her cry.  I know I can't hold her every minute, so I try to find a balance....Lord help me :)  Motherhood comes with so many things you can doubt yourself on. 
 I'm hoping I'm not the only one to have these emotions. 

I must say I miss my family more now that Blake is here.  I wish they could see her more often and see how fast she is changing.  I'm so glad we will be spending a week at home on Christmas so everyone can see her again.  She is so lucky to have three sets of Grandparents that love her.  
My friend Jennie is expecting her little one any day now, I can't wait!  
I'm so excited to have such a goodfriend close by that will be experiencing the same thing, 
and Blake will have a new friend :)
