Well.. it's been a few days since my last post!!! Tonight Andrea had her first tub bath!!!! it was great.. literally a no tears bath... apparently she loves the water :) she just wasn't a big fan of the sponge baths!!! so now that we're past the sponge bath phase she's a very happy baby... it was great we put her in the tub, gustavo got her hair and her back and i did her body!! she was such a little cutie in there... just in a daze completely relaxed lol!!! and after the bath she passed out until now when we woke her up to feed her!! i love bathtime!! anyway on another note... we've started taking her out little by little ... Friday the three of us went on a little date to target and then to a little coffee shop nearby.. it was nice to get out for a few hours...and on saturday we went to my parents house to spend some time with them!! they were sooo surprised and excited to see their little grand baby!!! when we left there we did some groceries at bjs... it was so funny to see us.. now a family of three i pushed the stroller and gustavo pushed the cart...and today i got away for a bit to go to church this morning just me... gustavo stayed home with andrea!! service was AMAZING i'm so happy i went... i was able to just get lost for awhile and connect with God in a way i haven't been able to in awhile...the pastor's message was wonderful as well!! then it was family time at home for a nice lazy sunday...
i can't say enough how great it is to now be a family of three... it's crazy.. its like she's everything i never knew i always wanted.. if that makes sense... a little background on that would be the fact that when gustavo and i got together he had baby fever as i like to call it... he was always telling me he was ready to start our family and i being the nutty "safe" person wanted to have all of our ducks in a row ... i remember always telling him (and everyone else that wanted to know when we'd be starting our family) in a year ... then that year would come around and i'd say ok in another year so on and so forth... having a baby for me was so scary ... in my mind life was hard enough as it was i couldn't imagine adding a baby into the equation... how would we ever manage!!! well here we are and managing is something we're definitely learning to do with each passing day but i have to say being a wife and a mom has not only changed my life but my outlook on life as well...i've realized that this is what i was put on this earth to do... to be a mom to my children and a wife to my amazing husband!! of course the career and day to day routine and obligations will always be there but the reality of my life the purpose behind it is my family and i know that now... i used to think that what i wanted out of life was to be successful.. i was literally terrified of failure... but thats not what its about... its about the bigger picture...its about what makes life so worth living...its about getting through the rain in order to see the rainbow... it's about the happy moments that make the harder moments so unbelievably worth it... it's about going to work every day and knowing that you are the lucky one that gets to come home to a beautiful family that loves you ... waking up in the morning full of joy because of the blessings God has laid before you... it's pure amazement with each day that passes ... this is it this is what i was born to do...i was born to have a family and to love them each and every day that's my true success...
