Has it been a week already

Has it been a week already! It sure doesn’t feel that way. Feels like Jelly Bean just came in our lives. Actually, it feels like the birth mother was asking us to adopt her baby (well it would if the weather was cold haha).
Jelly Bean is going like a weed. She eats up a storm. She is only a week old and she can eat up to 3oz ( now this isnt every feeding but at some). She will wake up at 1 am and usually stays awake for awhile. This morning at this time I draft back off to sleep so I have no idea what time she actually went back to sleep. She is content to laying on the bed between mommy and daddy. The little bassinet type thing that our oldest niece got us wouldnt fit in the car with all our stuff and Jelly Bean’s to, so we left it at home. We had gotten one of those baby snuggle nest things that you can put in the bed between mommy and daddy but she will not sleep in it. We have tried. Plus the bed in the room here at the hotel isnt big enough for it and us to. There for a couple of days we tried to sleep with her in it and one of in the bed with her and the other in the arm chair but that just got uncomfortable and like I said it was just uncomfortable. I will be glad once we get home and I can put her in her own bed and I can sleep a little better. I know I wont be able to sleep much as she will be waking me up but at least it will be a little better then what it is now.
I would not trade Jelly Bean for anything in the world. She has stolen our hearts. When she is just laying there looking a round and when she thinks you are not looking she is just smiling and it will melt my heart every time. She is a really good baby. And I am surprised that we made it thru her first week.

Our Baby Girl

Our baby girl was born the other morning. She came the day before her due date and she is so beautiful. I never knew what the joys of mother hood was going to be like. I had heard about it but never thought I would I ever get to experience but thanks to one young lady who has a brave and loving heart gave us the blessing of being parents. There will never be enough words how thankful we are to her and her family. They will always be in our hearts and part of our family.
The day that our little girl was born, I didn't hear my phone ring the my friend tried to call me. But once I got me and I thought I had felt a vibration but wasn't too sure but I decided that I would check my phone to be sure and I see that I had several missed calls and texts messages. I texted my friend apologizing for not hearing my phone and then she called me back as soon as she received my text message and told us that our baby girl (who we call Jelly Bean in our blogs) was born. She weighed 7lbs and 1oz and she is so beautiful. I told Mike and we got up out of bed and got ready to hit the road as we had a long drive ahead of us. But the drive was well worth it. Everything is worth it for our Jelly Bean. We didn't meet the birth mother or Jelly Bean until the day after she was born because we got into the state and city we was going really late and we did not want to disturb them. So the very next day we got up ate a little breakfast (as it was still a little early lol) and then got ready to go meet our Jelly Bean.  Once we meet them the birth mother handed Jelly Bean to me and I was in love with her. After I had held for a while I handed her to Mike and that was a site to see. I had always seen him hold our nieces and nephews but not one of our own. The hospital got a room for Mike and I ready to spend time with our Jelly Bean. We didn't realize at first that we would be staying the night in the hospital or even have her in the room with us that whole time but it was great to spend that time with her and bond with her. I think we all was pretty much scared, nervous, and excited. Isn't all new parents feel that way. Scared to even touch the baby (even if you have before lol ) nervous, and excited.  
We got to leave the hospital with Jelly Bean yesterday evening. We bought her to the hotel we will be staying at until we get the okay to leave this state and to enter back into Alabama with her. Our first night a lone as a family of three (a night without nurses coming in and checking on things) went pretty good.  I think it went better then I thought it would. She only got really fussy once and that was about around 1 something. We feed her, burped her, and changed her and she was still fussy. So I swaddled her up and Mike walked around with her and she still was fussy. So I took her climb in the bed with her and cuddled up with her and she went right off to sleep and slept until 6 this morning when she woke up hungry and needing a baby changed. What is it with babies, in when you get them changed and pick them back up they poop in a nice and fresh diaper? Yep, Jelly Bean did just that.  After all that she wanted to be cuddle back up by daddy and went back to sleep where she slept until 10 and got up wanting to be feed and changed all over again. But this time she wanted to stay a wake a little bit and smile at us. It was so cute seeing that smile. She doesn't give you a little grin, she gives you a big grin that is so cute. 
Well I am going to go and I will update you again once we get to go back home.

Product review

I got the infusium 23 leave in conditioner in a influenster voxbox yesterday and I love it. Most leave in conditioners makes my hair all greasy and etc and this didn't. It has a very nice smell to and made my hair smooth. Just what I need haha. I love it and I will most likely buy it in the future.  I recommend you go out and give it a try if you are already not using it. 

we passed the home study

We found out today that we passed the home study. I kind of thought we had but you can never be sure of how someone is going to come in your home and judge you. They may like you and they may not. We are all done except for the baby. Now all we are doing is waiting for the Jelly Bean to be born. We are so excited and can not wait to see her and hold her. Go on trips with her. Watch her grow up and etc. She will be here sometime this month and we cannot wait.
