Feeling Blogger's Guilt

I have wanted to write a post for SO LONG...but how do you describe the wonderment of all of this?
This will be a quick one-typing with one hand with a baby on your arm isn't the easiest thing.
1. my baby is a chunker...she's about 11 lbs now! She turned 7 weeks old today. This is bittersweet for me. I love how interactive she's becoming, but I mourn the squishy newborn that is quickly fading.
2. We are getting more sleep these days. little miss Sunshine is sleeping a good 4-5 hours starting at 11 each night. She is also sleeping more during the day.
3. We have fewer angry-tired babywant to nurse all night-restless crying bouts now. I can't remember the last time it happened. Sometimes if she hasn't slept much during the day, she has a hard time going to sleep. K has resorted on a few occasions to taking her for a drive. This usually does the trick.
4. We are enjoying coos and baby gurgles. She smiles alot, but rarely in response to ours.
5. She still loves to nurse. Some days, every hour.

Last but not least, the LOVE. Oh my God, The love. It is such a whole souled, magical amazing love that I feel for her. It gets bigger and brighter every day. She blows my mind. Motherhood is all that I thought it would be and more. I am so thankful every single day that She is ours forever, and that I finally got here.

I can't believe this is my life. I know why it hurt so bad, trying to conceive. The thought of all this never happening is just too much to bear.

Is this really my life? How did I get so lucky?
