I'm finally doing it...

..I'm finally starting a blog. I have been thinking about doing this since I was pregnant. Now my baby is 9 weeks old and I am finally getting around to it. It helps that my neighbor and a friend of mine have both started blogs that I enjoy reading. They, and my husband are my motivation.
So I'm a new mama and I am loving it. I'm very blessed to have a beautiful healthy baby girl. I'm a stay at home mom which surprisingly, I enjoy. I never thought I would be the type to want to stay at home but now that I am a mother I'm extremely thankful that my husbands job allows me to be able to. My husband serves in the US Navy which makes me a navy wife. Something else I never thought I would be.. what can I say, life is full of surprises =).
I am in the process of trying to crib train my daughter, Zebryna. Not so much because I want to but more so because I feel like I need to because they say the transition becomes harder the older the child gets. My problem is I love having her in the room with us at night I would probably co-sleep if our bed was a little bigger. But with our queen size it just isn't comfortable. Especially for my hubby who has to get up early for work and needs his sleep. That being said, after my hubby leaves for work Zebryna often joins me in bed =). Anyhow, back to crib training. Since I'm not all that eager to have her out of our room quite yet I'm taking baby steps. This week we have started hanging out in the baby room more to try and get her use to the different sights and smells. I also try and bring her in for her naps. She took a good 45min nap in her crib yesterday for the first time. Usually she will wake up after a few mins after being put down in there so I have been going between having her sleep beside me on the guest bed (which is in her room) while I do things on the computer like write my blog ;). And putting her down in the crib. I do feel like letting her sleep on the bed beside me has helped because she's adjusting to the room but still has the comfort of me nearby. We shall see how the rest of the week goes. For now my baby is awake and I must go. Because who can resist this face...
