2 Weeks Old!

We are starting to get into a routine- as much of a routine as possible with a newborn! I've learned this week that there is no such thing as a *quick* errand anymore. My dad invited us over for lunch yesterday and we started getting ready at 10am and didn't actually walk out the door until after 1pm- lol! I don't mind, but it does amaze me how much longer everything takes now!

I have to admit that it is a bit lonely being at home all day but Lily and I are starting to go out more (our big outing today was grocery shopping!), which does help. I'm not someone that easily just sits still, I like to be up and about and busy so I am having to learn to adjust to this slower pace. My parents have been awesome with helping us with meals and doing laundry- it gives them more excuses to come see Lily. It's so odd seeing them as grandparents but they are loving it- my dad would hold her forever if he could.

My grandma is coming to visit this weekend. Lily is her first great-grandchild and I know she is anxious to meet her.

Being a mother is more than I ever imagined. As overwhelming and exhausting as it is at times, every moment in precious and every day I see and learn something new.
