Smiles

It's amazing to me that at 5 weeks (I can't believe she is 5 weeks old!) my little girl is smiling! Her smiles happen sporadically and sometimes need some prompting, but there is no questioning how adorable she is when she smiles. I'm glad that Dave happened to have his camera on him to capture her first smile.

I think I'm finally finding my stride with motherhood. I've managed to master the quickest shower. I have adapted my makeup routine to fit her mood, and my diet has adjusted to what she needs. Sadly, that means no chocolate, no cookies, low carb, lots of water and still, no wine. Ah well.

What doesn't seem to be adapting is my waistline, and my wardrobe. I'm hoping to loose my pregnancy weight by the time we have our wedding in March. So far I've dropped 26lbs, but I still have about 19 more to go (or more if I want to be below my pre-pregnancy weight).  So I'm working on it, but until then I'm scouring the Internet for jeans, loose fitting tops, big scarves and bold accessories that will deflect from my larger mid section.
