My beautiful baby girl is turning 6 months old this week, so hard to believe! She is so precious and I never thought I could love someone so much! The first 3 months were. . . .hell. Anna was colic so she never slept and when she was awake she screamed nonstop. The second night we got home with her, she screamed from 11pm - 5am. I remember at one pediatric visit, the doctor asked me "Are you enjoying her?" and I said "No" feeling the worst guilt in the world. The doctor(which is one of the many reasons I love her) replied "It is ok, I understand. My middle child was colic and it is hard to enjoy them when you are sleep deprived and exhausted". Everyone kept telling me "Just hold on, it gets better". I didn't believe them. Finally at 3 months, she slept! It was awesome! Now Anna sleeps from 8pm -7am and now I enjoy her so much! I am constantly amazed by her, watching her learn and grow into this unique little person. I find myself just staring at her in awe. The first 3 months that were hell were definitely worth it. Parenthood to say the least is the most wonderful thing I have ever done. It is like marriage in that it has its good days and bad. It is really hard work but then again I don't believe anything in this life worth having is easy! My life now centers around someone so special. So 6 months later here we are and I really have never been happier in my life.
