My daughter is pretty much 8 months old. On the 24th she will be. She has gotten so big already. People can look down on me all they want, but I have the love of a beautiful little girl that I would do anything for. She makes me laugh when I tickle her. She has an adorable laugh. She is sitting up on her own now. Still hasn't crawled, but is trying to get there. She didn't like to be on her tummy at all when she was really little. Now she doesn't mind so much because she can roll over. She is starting to talk and has two teeth.
If you could see the way she lights up when I pick her up from her Grandparent's house, you would see that she loves me. She doesn't really like strangers so it makes me wonder how her father is expecting to take her from me. She will cry and cry because her Mommy isn't there. He has only seen her twice and she is almost a year old.
I can't even begin to imagine not seeing her. I can be gone for a night and every fifteen minutes you will hear me say "I miss Binkey." I am sure you are wondering why I call her that. She was born weighing 6.3 pounds. My Mom had small babies so I guess I will too. lol My Mom didn't want to say she was dinkey so she just called her Binkey and it just stuck. For awhile she would actually look at you when you said it, but now she will look at you for both Binkey and Delilah. I use her name a lot more though.
I love her so much. I am not telling anyone to go out and get pregnant. To those who think that kids ruin your life, they only make it worth while. I wouldn't trade my daughter for the world. I'll go a day without eating just to make sure she has diapers on her butt and food in her belly.
It's just me and her against the world.

I didn't understand how people said to enjoy the time she is little because it will go by fast. 7 weeks ago, I gave birth. I look at pictures and I am amazed by how much she has grown. I see her smile and remember when she couldn't. It seems like only yesterday I was in labor. Every moment I have with her is amazing.
Last week was SO hard. I went back to work. I'd call and text whoever was watching her every chance I got. My sister in law watches her from 2 till about 5. Then my parents watch her until I get home from work. By the end of the week I stopped doing it as often because I know there will be times I can't call. I still worry though.
I'm happy to be going back to work because that means I have money to support her with AND 8 whole hours of nothing, but adult conversation. I catch myself talking baby talk though. Everyone there knows I just had a baby because my father had to tell the whole world. lol His work(and now my work) actually sent flowers to my daughter. It had a pink stuffed puppy that says "My 1st Puppy" and a ballon that said "YES! I'm a girl!" lol It was so sweet of them.
I met this guy at work. He is a single Dad. He is older than me though. I'm 19. He is 37. Yet he is really awsome. I'm not ready to date though and he understands. He had to calm me down the other day at work. I was SO pissed. Delilah's father had to piss me off right before work. Mike would always smile at me and I'd smile back. Not that day. He would smile and I'd do the fake smile thing. So he walked over to me and asked what was wrong. I told him and he said that he is the dead beat and I'm a wonderful mom.
Anywho, enough of an update.
Enjoy every minute you have. One day it will all be gone or your child will all be grown up.

I found out I was pregnant. I was with the father and we were "happy." Now we aren't together and we never will be. He won't see his daughter unless my Dad is around. I will not take the baby up to see him just because he can't stop drinking long enough to get sober.

Having a little girl named Delilah Helms.
