I am so fortunate to be able to spend this time with the little. She is growing so fast and I am fortunate enough to see every minute of her growth. I am on maternity leave until March.
I can't even imagine having to put her in daycare right now. The thought of it freaks me out! I just thank my lucky stars she doesn't have to be in a daycare now! How long does a little baby go at a daycare with a wet diaper? I am sure it depends on the daycare, but from most of them I've seen there are only a few adults to several kids and with that kind of ratio.... its logical they just wouldn't get the attention they would need. Not to mention the cost of daycare for a baby! May as well get your own nanny for that price!
I've never considered myself an entertainer, but I am now! I get to entertain the little all day!I have done more dancing in the last few months than I ever have and I now speak a totally different language....... that I dont even understand! I have discovered just how many different noises I can make and I now humm ALL the tunes to the toys she has.... I find myself humming them EVEN WHEN THEY ARE NOT ON... HA! :) It seems so funny how much a baby can make you act just totally goofy!
As I write this, the little bird is draped over my shoulder and I don't have the heart to put her in her crib. Selfish? Yeah maybe.. but time goes so fast and I am sure before too long she wont BE ABLE to be draped over my shoulder. She is just so warm,cuddley, and sweet!
To close this post... I need to share some pictures I took of her the other day. I take so many pictures.. but only a select few turn out really good. I think these are my most favorite I have taken so far!
what a cutie!! give her hugs from me!!

Stacie how adorable! Congratulations on your little bundle. You are so right to hang on to every precious moment. It is not just an expression to say it flies, my littlest little turned 18 this year. She no longer wants to just hang on my shoulder like that!
Give her an extra squeeze for me!

Hi, Stacie
You're right, Stacie - time goes by so fast!! What kind of work do you do outside your home? I wish you could just stay home with baby Audrey!
We have found out that our grandaughter, Brynn, the preemie, probably isn't going to live. She needs surgery on her heart and a stent in her brain, but they can't give her anesthesia b/c she's so little. If she does have the surgery, she probably won't survive it and if she doesn't, she probably won't survive and is definitely severely mentally retarded. All of this we found out from our son last night. We thought everything was going well. We knew she would have some disabilities of some sort...but we didn't know this would happen. They'd changed her from Huntsville, AL to Nashville last Monday.
My husband said at work today - I've already emailed him - that he can't even talk to anyone. It's so sad! It was the first child for Daniel & Penny.
Please keep us in your prayers.
In Christian love,
Beth

OMG! Those photos are spectacular! She is just so darling!
I hired a nanny for both my boys for the first year or so. I felt so much better having someone in the house. You can look into getting an au pair!
