Last week my Aunt Gay Ellen and her husband Clarence stopped by to visit for a day while on their vacation traveling accross the country. We haven't seen them since our wedding a little over three years ago. Before that I had not seen them in years. Since they live up in Fairbanks, Alaska, it's kind of hard to see each other very often. It was nice to just sit down and talk. I learned a lot about the family and even asked some questions about my dad (sorry daddy). They treated Frank and I to dinner when they arrived, and then offered to babysit while Frank and I went out the following evening.We were so grateful and needless to say, we took them up on that offer. Frank and I had our first night out since Mya was born. I thought I would enjoy it more but I couldn't stop thinking about our little baby girl. We stayed out long enough to get a drink at Starbucks and some supplies at babies r us, then we headed home. It was nice to have the break but I was glad to get back home. Now I understand what my friends were going through when they had to leave their baby for the first time. That's something I could not comprehend until I had become a mother myself. I am not looking forward to the day when I actually have to leave her for the day or even half the day. That will be a lot harder than I imagined. If anything I will be the one with separation anxiety, not her.
As for Mya, she's doing great. She's holding her head up, trying to stand when we hold her, and interacting more and more with her surroundings every day. She loves our daily walks, always looking around, taking in her surroundings. As far as a good sleeping pattern, that hasn't happened yet. I fear she's taken after her mother in that aspect :-).
