Every Day Super Heros!!

So it's hard to believe that Calley is here already... and actually 2 weeks old and wasn't due until yesterday!!! We now know what it means to be truly blessed... We thought having each other and a great relationship as husband and wife, best friend and soul mate was wonderful.. but having Calley in our lives takes the cake! We could not be happier with our new baby girl.
I have also come to believe in "Super Hero's", not the ones on TV or in Comic books, or in Movies...no I'm talking about "MOMS"!!! Wow, I've always been one that needs a full 8 hours to truly function for the day and maybe even a nap before supper... it's amazing how the minute she came into this world I could hear, see and smell her every move...and probably only got a total of 8 hours of sleep while staying in the hospital for 4 days... and still manage to complete full sentences and stay awake for the guest coming to visit. Now that we are home... my belief has become stronger.. I do try and sleep while she is sleeping, but also realise that, that is the only time that things can get done around the house!!! So therefore I have be come VERY thankful if I get to sleep a total of 3 hours at a time... (*we celebrate those moments) As for Dad he is a super hero in his own, he took the challenge of changing diapers while we were in the hospital and has carried the task home with him... he calms her with his deep voice and also has learned to function on just a few hours of sleep... needless to say, I don't think you realise the strength you have until you go through that little thing called "Labor and Delivery" so to all the Moms out there... Thank you for allowing me the great pleasure of be coming a "Super Hero" with you!!! - Chelsea

Can you say "BABY TIME!!!"

OMG, I can not believe that it is almost time!!! almost time!!! almost time!!! We are OFFICALLY in April! Her room is set to perfection, our bag is packed, the car seat is already in the car... now we just wait... just about a week ago I started my nervous thoughts and every morning on my way to work thinking "what is my escape route if she comes today? will it happen while I'm on a conference call? will it happen while I'm helping out a customer?...then at night the same thoughts..what if I get all the way home and it happens while suppers on the stove? did I remember to put gas in the car? will I remember my toothbrush if she comes at 4am?..so needless to say with all these crazy thoughts, I have not been sleeping well... I have to make myself a LOT of list while at work to remember the littlest things, I am so overly excited I can't stand it! It really is crazy to think that any minute she could arrive.
We did our hospital tour today and got to see where we go and what exactly to do when she does come, I think that eased both our minds, more Jeremy's then mine... While there we got to see a baby in the nursery that was only an hour old... she had a FULL head of dark brown hair, it made me cry... I have a feeling if our little one is anything like me she'll have a head full also... I know I say this every blog, but we are so excited and I am sorry for not writing sooner, but things have been just a little crazy, We will post something when she does arrive, but until then (*or if I'm a week late and bored) we will talk soon.
