Picture of the week

I started a picture of the week thing. {I'm hoping it will help me get into the swing of blogging again.} This week is structure. I'm not too sure how that applies to my sweet little babe, but I took a photo of the first time she wrapped her little fingers around my finger. Here it is: 

These last 3 weeks have been life changing. I can't say that we've adjusted to this parenting schedule yet, but we are getting better. I think when you finally adjust is when babies finally change. Margo eats like a champ and sleeps when she feels like it. Our only real struggle is at 5:00am. It still seems impossible to wake up at that hour, but I think it's because it's the last feeding until the sun comes up. I love the lyrics to "You're the Best Song" by Bethany Dillon. The first lines are: "Good Morning. You and the sun are up before I'm ready. But ready or not, you need me.  So here I am." That is exactly how I feel as I walk down the hall to her room every morning at 5:00. I am thankful for the hubs who realizes how hard it is to be up at 5:00 and often volunteers to snuggle our girl. 

If you have never heard Bethany's song, listen to it: http://youtu.be/XkCk-76DtKQ. It is the perfect song for new moms and it explains exactly how my heart feels about our precious lamb.
