Just a few things....


span>r>


To begin with I love being a mom. I adore my little girl like noones business. As of this point, I don't think there is a single moment I have regreted having her join my life. To me, and Dean for that matter, she is the most beautiful baby that ever was brought into this world. I am however in the process of trying to get her into her own bed at night. She is 3 months old and as of thus far has slept with Dean and I every night. I've loved it but I know it's important for her to sleep in her own place. Any suggestions on the transition are welcomed:) Dean and I bought our first house yesterday!!! YEAH!! We are both super excited and although it's just a townhome it will be perfect for us for a long time. Now on to the life lesson that Heavenly Father seems on insisting to teach me. Dean and I when we first got married rented a townhome that was in a ward I thought I would love. Well let's just say I didn't. It was a really hard year for me church wise and I started to not want to go. Well, we moved in with his folks and their ward has been amazing!!! Within the first week the relief society was here to greet us and the countless welcomes for Dean in the Elders quarom were there too. It was such a different experience. While we have been looking for a house I have purposely been looking outside of what I thought our old ward boundaries areas were. Our townhome is on the south side of the 215 so I thought, great, we're safe! I was wrong!!! We are back in that same ward that I disliked so much and it's in a home that we purchased to live in for several years. I was really upset at first when I found out the reality but like I said, Heavenly Father is teaching me something here. Dean and I are both really going to try hard to go in with a better attitude and hopefully, with some persistance of course, I will come out with maybe not a love for the ward but for a renewed love of the gospel. The ward would just be an added bonus! Well here are a few pics just to share. Self portraits of course so don't laugh :)

She is adorable. My advice about sleeping is to just put her in her own place and let her cry it out. It's hard. And it might take a few days, but she will get used to it and sleep so much better.

Wow Meghan, I can't believe you are in our ward again! I hope it is a good experience for you guys this time. Your baby is sooooo cute! Oh my goodness, she is just adorable! It's fun to read about how much you are enjoying motherhood. I agree, it's awesome! Congratulations on your new baby and your new home.
