I can not stand when someone comes to see Rebecca and says how much she has grown or how much she has changed. I especially hate when someone says "She's gotten so big!" It breaks my heart. She is not even two weeks old, and I am not ready to think about her growing up. I know that it is inevitable; it has to happen, but I do not have to like it. Time seems like it is going by too fast. I really try to enjoy every minute I have with my baby girl, even when it is two in the morning and I am dead tired. My favorite time with her is right after she has eaten. She puts her head on my chest and sleeps. It feels like heaven. I also love when she is nursing sometimes and she takes a break. She will pull her head away from me and look up towards my face. She can make the cutest faces, especially with her lips. In case you can not tell, I love being a mother. I tell Rebecca that I have waited for her for 27 years. I have wanted to be a mom since I was 3 years old.
This past weekend was pretty low key. Rebecca had her first real bath on Saturday. I love to take a bath. It is my favorite thing to do besides sleep. So, of course, I thought that Rebecca would love to take a bath as well. That could not be farther from the truth. As you can tell from the picture, she hated it.
After her bath we got her all dressed up to watch LSU football. LSU played against South Carolina. It was a great game. Nannie (my mom), John and I were really into it. Rebecca, on the other hand, could have cared less. At least she looked good.
As I stated in my last blog, Nannie has been in Atlanta since early September. She left today to head to Charleston to see my sister, Laura. It was really sad to see her go, but I know that it was time. Luckily, Mimi (John's mom) is going to come over during the day to help out. John and I will be on our own at night, but since the pediatrician told us to let Rebecca sleep at night until she wakes up, she has done really well. She still wakes up every 3 to 4 hours, but she goes right back to sleep after she eats. Let's all say a prayer that this continues.

Mira, I know what you mean!! Will will be 2 months old on Friday and he has outgrown some of his clothes! I just cried when they didn't fit, because I knew he was getting bigger! It's funny, I look at the clock and 30 minutes have gone by and I've just been looking at Will the whole time!! Let's enjoy every minute of this time.....Rebecca is soooo precious!
