Happy New Year

Welcome to 2008. WOW! In less than a week little Gianna Joy will have been here a year.

Today we did what we traditionally do on New Years- take down Christmas and watch the Rose Bowl Parade. No one told me that it's hard to do this after you stay up till 1 the night before wishing everyone a Happy New Year and singing Old Lang Sine (or whatever the real lyrics are) and the still have to get up at the crack of dawn because the baby does! I know I know only 1 oclock you ask, but hey- we felt like we were PARTY animals because we usually hit the bed at 10 on the dot!
I got up with Gianna today, but was in a walking coma. I did not have too much celebrating last night just a little I PROMISE, but I was really "lack of sleep drunk." The kind where you are awake and you try to do the things on your to do list, but can't even function, or move off the couch because you are so out of it kind of thing. That kind of lack of sleep drunk. I am so grateful that I have quickly forgotten what it is like to survive on VERY little sleep. You have to do it when the baby is a newborn, but ..... THEY SLEEP DURING THE DAY TOO! So you can nap right along with them. John and I both tried to go to sleep during Gianna's morning nap, but he was more successful than I was because- I heard her wake up and he kept right on sleeping.
I did take a nap during her second nap and after all the Christmas was put away. But still...
I didn't fully recover from the day until the fourth quarter of the Texas Tech game when they came from behind and beat up on Virgina!
I do promise more pictures and such from our Christmas, but given the length of this post on how tired I am, you will have to wait!
2008 will bring us many things and many more fun glimpses into our little Princess' life, and sure- more pictures!!!!!
May your 2008 be filled with hope, joy and love.
