Nothing but a bunch of babble

Emy has been in her crib for over and hour just laying there listening to her country music while watching her animals. I wonder what she is thinking about... I imagine her brain to be like a computer just downloading everything she sees and hears.
I am a little scared because today was a really good day. She slept good except for one point today because she wanted to be held awhile. She ate pretty good, she has had a good relaxed awake time... It makes me wonder how bad tonight is going to be since I had it pretty easy today.
I bought a this cool pacifier thing on the internet today. It is from a Preemie store that sells the kind of pacifier they use in the NICU. It has a stuffed animal attached to the end of it so your baby can hold on the pacy better. I am so excited about it, she better like it! I also bought the cool changing cover... okay I know I am way too excited about this stuff but I don't get out much lately so give me a break! Most changing covers are cloth which really doesn't make any sense to me. Every time they pee or poop on it you have to clean it. So what I have been doing is just using receiving blankets but that is getting old real quick... changing them all the time. I found one place that has a vinyl cover that you can just wipe down after accidents! I am soooo excited! Life will be so much easier... It even has a cushion for her head. I used to be excited about other things... clothes, shoes maybe, stuff for the dogs ( I still am on that, they have just been bumped down a bit!), whatever... now it is all baby stuff. I used to think that I wouldn't be one of those mothers that talks about their baby but you can't help it!
You say a lot of stupid things when you are pregnant... things you will or will not do. I was the queen with that... I was a very stupid queen! I don't remember every thing I said but I know I thought I would be fine sleep wise... stupid. I didn't think the baby needed a room, just a crib in my computer room... stupid. I didn't think it would be too much more money for our expenses... very stupid! Anyway, life has definitely changed... I can't remember what did much before I was pregnant besides work. I know I slept a lot, did stuff on the computer, read... but that can't fill a day can it? Good thing I finally did have a baby because I have pretty much been living like a lazy bum!
Emy is starting to make noises now... kind of like an "ahhh" sound. I copy her when she does it and her eyes get all wide. Well, I see that it is almost time for her to eat again so I better get a going! Later...
