Introducing Arianna Lillian!


I am over the moon happy to announce that Miss Arianna has *finally* hit that magical milestone that everyone told me would someday come. She no longer cries for no reason. Last Sunday was the breaking point. She went the whole day without crying and I am happy to say she has continued. Even with an ear infection, RSV, and a horrible diaper rash she has not once cried for no reason. Our baby girl is, dare I say, happy?!? She is smiling all the time and she LOVES to blow raspberries. I never thought this day would come, I really didn't. It has been a very long and hard 4 1/2 months. I can honestly say dealing with colic is one of the hardest things I've experienced. It is something you truly cannot comprehend until you go through it yourself. I finally feel like I can enjoy her and get us all back on track. I feel as though the black cloud that has been hovering over my head has finally left.
Then (19 days):

Now:
I had a doctor's appointment today so I weighed myself. I am one pound under my pre-pregnancy weight (with Arianna)! 19 pounds to go to get back to my pre-Cameron weight. It's going to be tough!
