17 days old!!

It's hard to believe that Chelsea is 17 days old. I must have looked at her a million times and I'm still not tired of it. I treasre each smile and silly grin- even though they are completely involuntary. It gives whole new meaning to the Scripture that Mary treasured all these things in her heart. If you know me you know I am not an emotional person- meaning I do not like to cry. I think I have cried more in the last 17 days than I have in my entire life. Just looking at her and thinking about the precious gift from God that she is brings tears to my eyes. I pray that Ryan and I will be the Godly parents that we need to be for our little treasure.
Chelsea has her fussy times. Today they have only lasted for about an hour- so I am grateful. Mom says she is a great baby. I don't have anything to compare her to so of course I think she is great. Hopefully we can get on a more consistent schedule. Last night she was up every 3 hours- which was fine because she fell back asleep each time. The night before she was up from 12:30- 4:00 and fussy. God has blessed us beyond measure fussy times and all. I'll take her dirty, smelly, clean, sweet and fussy.
