I wanted to start a blog now ever since my husband and I went through infertility to share the ups and downs of starting a family. My baby is now almost 4 months old and I am finally getting it started. My hope is that other moms can share a few laughs, smiles, or even cries while reading and know that they are not alone out there.

And I Wake Up With a Black Eye
Alright you are probably wondering how I got a black eye, well let me start from the beginning. After our 4 month Dr. appointment Dr. T suggested that we try not swaddling on one of the upcoming weekends. Well for us that was this weekend. We started to not swaddle AJ for her naps on Saturday. She went down OK for the first nap and then about 40 minutes in I hear the worst cry she has ever made. Her arms had woken her up and I think scared her half to death or just made her angry! So I go in there and rub her belly she goes back down and finishes her nap. I was thinking that wasn't too bad. And then night came. I think we were up more than we were asleep. Her arms just kept getting in the way. We did not give up and John and I took turns going in. Well at 5:22 am it was my turn. I go in, half asleep at this point, search the crib for the pacifier and couldn't find it while AJ is crying. So I think it fell behind the crib. I scoot the crib away from the wall a little bit, bend down to feel the floor, and WHACK! I hit the corner of my eye on the top corner of the crib. And the worst part is I did not even find the pacifier. So now I am awake, a little angry, and still cannot calm AJ. I yell for help and John comes in. I go downstairs to get ice and a new pacifier in case John can't find it. I go back up put the ice on my eye and John works at getting AJ back to sleep. 20 minutes later I just have this strange feeling that I left the freezer open in my tired state. I go down to check and guess what, it is open a crack. Goodbye frozen breast milk aka LIQUID GOLD!!! This is not how I wanted to start my Sunday. The eye really is not too bad and guess where the disappearing pacifier was...right above AJ's head.
