sound asleep

Since last Friday, my in-laws have been staying with us. The reason is that my father-in-law will have to go through a delicate surgery this next Monday(please keep him in your prayers), and since they live out in a farm, we thought best they stay in the city for security reasons. Anyway, while I was rushing around helping the cleaning lady with the house, my in-laws were so kind as to take care of my little girl. At one point, this is how I found all three of them in the living room...it was too sweet to pass!

enjoying my baby!

In these 2 months and 19 days of being a mom, I have 3 daily goals: 1) make my bed, 2) wash the lunch dishes, and most importantly 3) enjoy every second with my little Julia! I confess that they're not easy goals either, and I call them 'goals' because they don't happen naturetly, I have to work on them daily. Every morning I remind myself (while staring at my dirty house), that this fase will also pass, and soon I'll be looking at pictures and remembering how little my baby was, and how wonderful it was to have her in my arms. So I hold her even closer, give her lots of kisses and ignore all the mess that I know I don't have time to clean. But today I'm extra happy because besides enjoying my little girls, at this very moment there is a lady cleaning my house!!! Hurray!!! Which means I can sit here with no guilt and know that at least someone is working!! lol!

At the Hospital

These are some pictures of the time Julia spent at the hospital. We are very glad that those five days are now gone and that our little one is doing so well! Praise God...and thanks to all of you who remembered her in your prayers!
