The lack of sleep is just appalling! Especially for someone who really enjoyed getting a full 8 hours of sleep:) But one thing you learn very quickly is that the human body is very adaptable! Not only can you function without sleep but you can do whatever is needed for your precious little child. Gaby is in my unbiased:) opinion, the most beautiful baby in the world!!
I think she understood that we were beginners so she went easy on us.
Pita (my mom) was in town the first two weeks and helped immensly. I'm completely convinced I wouldn't have made it through with my sanity without her help. Thank you so much for everything, mom. I appreciate you more than you know:)

Mimi and Papa Holt came to visit within the first week and were giddy meeting their first grandchild.
Pito made it up to St. Louis also to welcome his latest grandchild into the world. But alas, when he left he took Pita back with him which turned me into a weepy mess as I realized I would soon be on my own.
Luckily, Byron took that following week off to help me slowly transition into my new job as stay at home mom. Together we tackled the daunting task of keeping Gaby alive and happy:)! You quickly learn our little princess' personality and what she does and doesn't like. As that week came to an end, I felt a little more prepared to tackle the job on my own. Knowing I just had to survive until 5pm and then relief would arrive! Byron was so great, considering he would work a full day and then come home to me saying "She's all yours!":)
And in other news......Byron accepted a job with a private pediatric cardiology group in Austin- yippee!! Start date: 7.16.2007
