Oh by the way...
I'm totally craving chocolate! I seriously thought the cravings went away after pregnancy but I guess not. Maybe breastfeeding causes cravings also.
How much love can one heart contain?
I am so in love with my daughter! She is the most amazing thing that could have ever happened. She wasn't planned but I sure am glad that she decided to come anyways! She has changed my life in so many ways. First, I never thought it was possible to love something so much and now I know it is. Second, waking up at 2:00, 3:00 and 5:00am is no longer a terrible thing, in fact it's almost magical. Everytime I see her sweet little face I just melt and fall in love all over again. Third, I've learned that there is nothing more fun than sitting for hours and staring at this new life I created. Fourth, I've learned that I too can perform miracles. Not only by building her and giving birth to her but also by calming her crying just by holding her. I love being the mommy. I hold her or talk to her and she calms down because she knows mommy is there. It is truly amazing.
Yesterday I noticed that Mavity felt a bit warm, but I wasn't sure if it was due to crazy mommy syndrome or if she actually had a temp. So I busted out the pacifier thermometer (which takes forever and I'm not sure how accurate it is) and took her temp. I gave up the first time because it was taking too damn long and I didn't know if it beeped when it was done or what. So as soon as I took it out of her mouth and put it away I heard it beep. So I did it again, 4 more minutes later the thermometer said 99 degrees. Of course I'm a little freaked out but not sure that I want to believe this thermometer. So I did nothing. Today she feels warm again so I called the Dr.'s office to talk to the nurse. I had to leave a message and now I'm waiting for them to call me back to tell me I'm crazy. Oh, and I'm pretty sure they are going to tell me to take a rectal temperature. I'm not quite sure I'm up for violating her. But if I have to I will do it.

Very Cool
Well I've kind of always wanted a blog but I never really thought that anyone would read it. I've now decided I don't care if anyone reads it or not, I'll just pretend they do.
Ok, so, I've been a mommy for all of 6 weeks as of tomorrow. And I love every second of it. Mavity, my daughter, was born on March 19th, 2008 at 2:56pm. She weighed 8lbs 11oz and was 20 inches long. From the moment I saw her I was in love. She is now almost 6 weeks old and weighs (as of her last dr's apt last week) 10lbs 13oz and is 23 inches long. She is a big girl! She is the love of my life and I couldn't ask for a happier baby. She just consumes me and I can't imagine my life without her. Her feet are so tasty and her cheeks are so kissable and her smile is so intoxicating. She is asleep right now and I'm suppose to be doing homework, all in good time I suppose.
I'm graduating from college next week. It's really exciting and amazing. I've been in college for almost 9 years and I'm finally graduating. It's about freakin time! If someone would have told me last April that I would be a mom and graduating from college in the next year I would have laughed in their face. I actually never thought I would be where I am, I've always wanted to be here but wasn't sure I would ever make it. I'm so happy with my life and I can't ask for anything more.
