Birth Announcement, Blog Plans, and a Whole New Year

Happy New Year, everyone!  Thank you to everyone who commented or reached out about Isla’s Birth Story – I’m glad you enjoyed reading it.  I hope the first week of 2017 has been good for you.  Our week has mostly consisted of feedings, baths, and diaper changes, and (finally) putting together Isla’s Birth Announcement.

Jeremy and I both got whatever cold virus was going around during the holidays, and we were going crazy trying not to get the baby sick.  Thankfully, she never caught what we had.  This time of year is so hard to have a little one, with all of the illnesses that tend to spread like wildfire!  Thank goodness for Sambucol..

I go back to work in just a few weeks, and while I’m looking forward to getting back on a schedule during the week and having adult conversations, I’ll definitely miss this little face.  She’s 6 weeks old and smiling a ton, cooing (the cutest!), and just yesterday figured out that she has hands!  Great job, tiny lady!  It’s crazy how we have to learn every.little.thing when we’re born.

We’re easing back into normal life and making plans for the new year.  We have a million and one projects planned for the house this year, and a few that we’ve finished that will be posted soon.  Post in the comments if there are any DIY projects you’d like to see this year.  Stay tuned, and Happy New Year!
