Zoe's Blessing

Here are a few pictures of our little princess in her pretty dress and afterwards at her party! Enjoy





Zoe was blessed by her daddy on May 2, 2010. It was such a special day for all of us. We had so much fun having all the family come over to visit and to spoil her. It was a bit overwhelming trying to get the house ready for everything this weekend but we got it done. I woke up at 5:30 am to feed her and didn't end up going back to bed. I had way too much to do and church was at 8:30. Oh man, the things we do for our little ones! I am still getting the hang of being a mom. It's not easy. It's definitely a daily struggle, with the hormone fluctuations, caring for a sick baby & trying to have any alone time with Ty. It's rough. I would happily accept any advice anyone would be willing to give me.

It will get better! and for me it was always nice to just get out of the house by myself every once in awhile. like after Ty gets home from work and you have dinner. get the baby fed and then go to walmart or somewhere for like an hour. Also you have lots of people that I am sure are will to watch that babe. try and get out even for just an hour or two with Ty. maybe even just go to the park just the two of you! or even just go back home and relax for a minute!! It will get easier with time. it is a hard adjustment I think.

Congrats Janessa on your new little one!! I found your blog on Cami's blog. I was so excited because I was wanting to see your sweet new baby. She is so precious. Watch out, they change soo fast. I hope you all continue to do well. It definitely takes time to get used to. It gets easier as you learn and understand Zoe. They are so worth it. I don't know how good of advice that is, but I wish you the best.

Zoe is so adorable! I just want to eat her...but don't worry, I won't! Her blessing dress is so cute, and I'm glad all went well on her Blessing day (sorry we missed it!). As far as advice goes, it's hard to say...every baby is different and every momma is, too. You're doing an amazing job and Zoe is lucky to have you. Try not to sweat the small stuff, get as much help as you can, never turn down an offer for help on ANYTHING, and get meds if you need them (there's no shame, I promise!). Talk to your friends and family about what you're feeling and what you're experiencing...sometimes a good chat is all you might need! Try and enjoy the experiences you have with her because she will change so fast and before you know it you'll have an 18-month old to chase after! Take lots of pictures, write in your journal about what you did together, and definitely get some alone time and some date time when you can. You're amazing...hang in there! Love ya!

My advice is it is okay to leave the baby and go on a date. She will survive. I was always nervous leaving her, but it is good for her to be with others and good for you two to get out together. Also like Tiffany said, get some along time. Go to the store and leave the baby with Ty. He will be okay! Good luck...
