It's hard to remember what we did with ourselves before we were blessed with our little angel. The past 4 months have been life changing, but absolutely amazing. Scott and I are enjoying the ups and downs of parenthood and trying our best to soak up every moment of it. Of course because of this, nothing gets done around the house, and we never look put together, but it's just a small price to pay.
I've been amazed at how natural parenthood has come to us. It is with out a doubt, the single best thing that I have done with my life. Tears well up in my eyes just thinking about the amount of love I have for this little girl. It's the kind of love that can't be explained, and can only be understood by those that have children of their own. I love watching her and Scott play together. He is such a great father, and it makes me realize even more what a great catch I have.
Life has changed a great deal since I last wrote, the biggest change being the return to work. God, that was painful. No more days spend cuddling on the couch in our PJ's, now it's rushing to get diaper bags packed to drop her off at daycare in the mornings. I am exhausted 100% of the time, and I miss her like crazy during the day. It took me weeks just to be able to drop her off without crying. I really wish there was a way I could just keep her under my desk in her bouncy chair or something.
Jordyn is changing and growing everyday. At just over months Jordyn is smiling, laughing, rolling and grabbing just about everything. She currently weighs about 15 lbs and is about 26 in long. No doubt, she's a healthy girl. Yesterday she enjoyed her first taste or rice cereal. I can't believe how much she has matured, in such a short time.
In other updates, Scott and I have taken on the hobby of running. This has really helped me to get back into shape and loose all of my baby weight. I actually weigh less than when we got pregnant, which is amazing in my eyes. We've started competing in races, so far, it's been a 5k, a 12k and most recently a 8k. Hopefully we're able to keep up this healthy lifestyle. Here's a picture of us after our latest race.
