One Month

One Month! I’ve been a mom for ONE MONTH! That just seems crazy! Grace and I are learning how to do this mother-daughter thing one day at a time and with lots of help from Tim. He is amazing with her, and in the beginning came home almost every day at lunch to help out. Grace and I are figuring out a routine and don’t need him as much during the day. But, he goes straight for her after volleyball each night and lets me rest before he is off to bed! Grace and I also are venturing out a bit more, too. We’ve done lunch at White’s and have visited Grandmas Margaret and Patty. Grandpa Tim is on our list, too, but he is a bit farther away so we are working up to that trip!
Grace got hooked on the bottle early on because she was not gaining weight, and with the help of our lactation consultant, Nurse Cindy, we are trying to get her off of it, but other than that, she is wonderful! She sleeps about 6-7 hours each night and is pretty predictable throughout the day for feedings. She loves her baths, her nursery, and riding the in the van. She watches the Colts play on Sundays with Tim and did very well at her first volleyball game. We also finally made it to church last Sunday! We love getting to know her and realize she’ll be all grown up before we know it! She is changing daily!
The last thing I asked before they released us from the hospital was if they were really going to let us take this baby home?! And they did! I can’t believe how time has flown, and we could have never had made it this far without all the help from family and friends. Thank you to all for everything from thoughts a prayers, to meals and help at home. Enjoy the pictures… I love taking them! ~shelby

Bath time is great! I love the warm watter and my warm towel from Aunt Toby!

I did well at my first SHS volleyball game... the team, not so much!

Go Colts! Dad is happier when they play well!
