My Journey
Things Are Busy with a Baby
Monday, Aug. 22, 2005 @ 2:01 p.m.

Things are going great with my new little girl. There's so much to tell, but not much time to write. I used to often post in the evenings, but now that time is taken up by my little one. Once I get caught up on my email, I just don't have time to post. I always kind of figured that I would quit this diary once I got a baby, so I'm not going to pressure myself to keep it up. I'll try to keep it updated with information regarding her adoption, but I won't be writing about day to day events and things like her first smile or steps.

I'll post some pictures and give some updates occasionally, so keep checking in.

My social worker is coming Wednesday to check up on us, and I have to have a letter and pictures ready to send along to the birthmom. I'll be spending my spare time working on that. I'm thinking about editing my letters to her and posting them here on my diary.

I've got to go. My diapers just finished drying, so I must get them folded before the baby wakes. I'll be back later with a collection of photos.
