A busy world

I knew my life would change once Kayler arrived but I didn't know how differently wonderful it would truly be. Except for the first few days home, which were really rough, I've had a great time getting to know my daughter. We are both learning how to do things and I think I'm doing a pretty good job of figuring it out as I go. After all she doesn't know that I don't know what I'm doing. :) 
I'm loving all her little noises and faces that she makes. She's a really good baby so far. She usually sleeps about 3 to 4 hours at night and lets mom and dad get a little rest. She did however get her daddy's appetite so we eat a lot and often. 
We've been out of the house several times. We voted last weekend and went for a few short visits. We've also been to church twice and she was very good. It was fun to show her off to everyone but I do notice that I'm a little protective of her when people go to touch her. It kind of makes me cringe thinking about all the germs. 
I got some really good advice from a friend and co-worker who came to help over the weekend. I was feeling confused and a little guilty about some advice I'd received and choices that we'd made about caring for Kayler. She said as long as you are doing what you need to do for your daughter that's all that matters. She also went on to say that my sanity is important for Kayler too. I totally agree. 
Better run. Fussy baby.
