Always Listen To Your Gut!

When Allie was a few weeks old she started to make a ton of grunting noises while sleeping.  I would lie awake listening to her and knowing it didn't sound normal.  Everyone thought I was overreacting, including Matt and just said she was a noisy sleeper.  For weeks I tried to tell myself the same thing but each night I would kick myself for not calling the doctor about it.  I am so glad I listened to my gut because when I took her in they thought she might have reflux and put her on some meds.  Within days she was sleeping silently.  But despite the medication helping her discomfort it does not stop her from spitting up,  and boy does she spit up.  This week Matt, myself several times and Matt's sister have all been drenched by her spit up.  and I mean drenched!

Someone Stole My Clothes!

Matt has started going to the gym at 5am now.  He gets his work clothes all ready puts them in a garment bag, then showers and gets ready at the gym.  Last month he worked out and then headed to the locker room to get ready.  He gets his key out and precedes to open the locker.  When he looked inside it was empty!  He started to freak out thinking "Someone stole my clothes!  Now what am I going to do.  I have to be to work in 30 minutes!"  Then he opened the locker next to his and found his clothes.  He had put the lock on the empty locker next to his.

Allie's Christmas Tree

Thankfulness

Over the last few months I have been experiencing a new emotion, one I have never really experienced before.  I can only describe it as pure joy.  Each day I love to watch her sleep and I literally thank the Lord every single day for her being here in my life.  She started smiling at us last month and coos so much that we can have a conversation with her.  Life feels so much fuller when you have a little person in your life.

Matching Ornaments

Every year Matt and I get each other ornaments and usually we can find pretty cool ones online.  A few years ago I got him a mini Boston Red Sox Fenway Park ornament with a mini green monster and all.  It is currently his card hold for poker.  So as I was searching for Allie's baby's first christmas ornament I ran across one that was really cool for Matt so I bought it!  I have always cherished my baby's first christmas ornament and I found a matching one for Matt!  Since he was born in the same year I just bought him the boy version.  It was amazing that someone was selling a 1982 Hallmark ornament.
