Love Life.

My heart melts on how I see Layla growing so fast.She will already be 3 months old next week.I soak up every moment I have with her being this small!I remember when she just came out of me and was in my arms.I remember every moment when she had come into this world.From the first ultra sound,the first heart beat and kick,and the labour.I won't ever forget the details of the day she was born.Was the day that had changed my life forever, but in a great way. Layla has been a blessing. Amazing on how I've known her for such a small amount of time,and just love her unconditionally!I almost cry when I see her sound asleep in her bed, as she smiles in her dreams,and looks so peaceful and warm. I think of how amazing it is,how Mike and I have created such a beautiful miracle.
It's funny,how the smallest and simplest things can amaze us,on things she does.But it is all new to her!She started to attempt lifting her head about 5 or 6 weeks old!And her eye sight had improved after 1 month. She now recognizes us,and our voices and will turn her head to watch where we are. She loves looking at things,exploring,and probably drives her crazy how she just dont know how to get anywhere on her own.The best part,is seeing her smile,and make coo sounds!Her favourite toy is her colourful purple elephant!And she cannot stand any little amount of a dirty diaper,which I think could be a good thing as she may be easier to potty train!I haven't had too many difficult times with her YET!She's had a few fussy days,where she was awfully crampy, but we found that a nice warm bath really soothes her when shes not feeling the greatest.
She also really likes Barley,when his hair tickles her against her cheek!
I try and take a lot of pictures and videos,as I know I love looking back on pictures and videos when from my younger days.She also really loves going for walks,well,being pushed in a stroller anyway!I noticed she likes to be outside,and car rides make her fall asleep almost instantly!
Mike ''jokes'' about having another baby to me.I just know we aren't ready anytime soon on another baby,and if something like that happened,it definitly wouldnt have been planned like Layla was!
Yes,we planned to have Layla.At that point of our lives,we felt we were ready,that we were set.We had a mortgage,a home,that we thought would last forever,I had my career going,and he was working full time.Things were going quite well at that point. But unfortunately,things changed,on a variety of circumstances we knew we had to give up the farm.I was upset at the time,as I felt maybe having a baby wasn't such a good idea anymore.That we were now starting all over again,and would be hard to support a baby when I couldn't work for a while.But,things have been going better than I thought,and I do not regret having Layla.Not one piece of me.I feel she's probably one of the best thing's that could have happened to Mike and I. Layla is what keeps me going in life, she makes me happy and just makes me stronger everyday. I fight through any bumps along the road of life!

All I have to say is that I love being a housewife, and a mother. I love my life,even through the toughest times,Im lucky to have the ones I do in my life.
