1. She came equipped with some kind of a sixth sense- awaking, as if on cue, from sound sleep to cry or yell whenever I’m about to eat. And don’t let hubby get too close to me…she starts hollering as if to say, ‘oh hell naw, I am not ready to be a big sister yet!’
2. She poops or spits up on every cute outfit I buy her. Oh, and she hates when I touch her hair. Maybe she won’t be miss priss like her mama after all 🙂
3. Desitin is not toothpaste. Trust me.
4. Yeah, so poop is often the topic of conversation around here… and apparently I’m a butt sniffer now, lol.
6. I’m lucky to get a shower before noon… hell, some days I’m just lucky to shower.
7. I’m quite good at multi-tasking now. At any moment, any given day, if you walked in my house, I’d be sitting at the desk, typing with one hand, pumping milk with the other, and bouncing Gia in her vibrating chair with my foot…. all at the same time.
8. Cleaning by myself is no longer a chore, it’s a friggin’ vacation.
9. I can’t leave the house without forgetting something. And I’m chronically late to everything. It’s embarrassing.
10. She’s been sleeping through the night (yay!), but I can’t or else my boobs would explode. Cruel and unusual.
Later Gators,
Nik
I don't know how I missed this post! She is the cutesy! Lol at your learnings…that listvwill get longer and longer!

Gia is so friggin gorgeous! to help you multitask even more you need to get a bra that helps you pump HANDS FREE. to start try: http://breakoutbras.stores.yahoo.net/hafrnuop.html?gclid=CJrUydKn-6QCFUPr7QodXwwjfw
Nikki, she is as gorgeous as her mommy!!!
Baby G is too cute! She is growing up too fast. Wow, you were just pregnant and now she's 2 months old. I love your candid comments about live and motherhood.
Happy 2 months Gia!! She is a cutey!! My little pumpkin turned 1 a couple of weeks ago and I can totally relate to what you were saying!! You are just too funny!! I have been there and done that too with bouncing her in the vibrating seat with my foot (my husband started that with her and she preferred that over the vibration alone). In fact its even the exact same bouncy seat!! This past year has flown by, contiune taking tons of pics!!
This is classic. I enjoy shopping ALONE and my daughter is 16 lol. You are doing such a great job. She is adorable. Thank you for sharing.
How cute! 🙂
Adorable baby! I had the EXACT same "Mommy Observations" List! LOL! God bless you and your fam! Thanks for taking the time to still keep up your site while transitioning into and enjoying motherhood. If Gia only knew all the other women depending on her mommy to educate & nurture them about their hair 🙂
Nikki I love how you keep your readers abreast about Baby G. She is so adorable. I love reading the hair interviews and product reviews but I also smile each time I see a new post about the baby. Also, you are so right being a mommy is one of the hardest jobs but it is definetly rewarding!.
Take care.
Lynn M.
Beautiful baby. Just gorgeous.
She is just an absolute doll baby!!! Love the updates!! I've also been amazed at how many posts you are managing to get up here each day!! Love it all.
Shelli
What a beautiful baby!
Congrats to mum and dad! And thanks for all your advices and tips and help!!!
Baby G is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing Nikki! You talk about motherhood with so much honesty…it is a hard job…but it is sooo funny to hear your views on it..LOL! But then there is always that part where you bring it all back home… Gia = Nikki's Everything
PS. Can't wait to see the Halloween pictures!
Your princess is precious!
Two months already. I remember when you were posting about the due date passing! Anyway, thanks for sharing your little pumpkin. What an adorable gem!
Peace from NY
Lucky on sleeping through the night! My 10 month old still doesn't. In fact, he is already up right now eating lol (he went to bed around 8pm)
LOL @ #3 and #4, been there, done that. Oh as for #8, I will fight my husband over which one of us gets to go grocery shopping ALONE. My grocery shopping turns into a 2 hour trip because I walk as slowly as I can and squeeze in as many extra errands as I can.
Absolutely adorable. It's amazing how something so tiny can be so much work lOl.
Adorable!!!
Peace, Love and Chocolate

She is ridiculously, adorably, impossibly cute! I love babies. swoodward
LOL!!! I totally understand, my son turned 3 months old on the 27th. Wait a few days and the boobs will begin to regulate themselves.
I soooo look forward to your mommy updates even more so than the hair stuff.
Gia's adorable and you are doing a wonderful job.
she is so pretty…and she looks exactly like your mom!
Awww! She looks more and more like you every time I see her! Great post!!!
Hahahhahahaha, Nik you know I don't mean to laugh at you girl but that is hilarious man. But Baby Gia is sooooooo adorable. Look how fast her pretty lil hair is growing. Thank you so much for sharing with us, you keep me laughin' girl.

Look at the hair, I can tell she is going to have hair like her Mommy's. She's adorable.
Gia is such an adorable baby. You're a luck lady.

I feel so much better, now that I've had my Friday Baby Gia fix! Too cute! Thanks, Nik.
She is just fabulous and fat! I love chocolate plump babies…so adorable!
Aww adorable!
She is simply beautiful…..love seeing pics of her…oh and it's not that she dosn't want to be a big sis, it's because you are with daddy….I can't even get a hug from my hubby…so sad how little girls rule and show ownership over daddy…
Jasmine
OMG!!!!!! SHE IS ADORABLE!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Thank you for sharing with us!!! I was curious as to how things were going, but didn't want to impede. You are doing a FABULOUS job!!!
BTW: Her hair is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Go Lil G!!! She's growing so fast 🙂
Yay, pics! What a sweetie!! Happy 2 months, Ms. Gia =)
Your observations are hilarious. I'm sure some are not funny while they're happening, but you're a born storyteller. Thanks for sharing!
I was wondering where the pics of Baby G were this week! She's getting cuter by the minute! Thanks for sharing, my kiddies are 16 and 14 and hearing the stories of Baby Gia brings back good memories!
too funny. wait until she starts crawling and then walking and then talking. so much fun is in your future.
She is a beauty, Nikki! Don't worry about your breasts; after so many nights of them not getting any action, they'll start to slow down on how much milk is being produced.
Too funny Nikki, I love how you just put it all out there. Kids change your life and make it better, I'm glad you are experiencing it and sharing with us.
Sooooo cute!! your baby stories are HILARIOUS!!!!!!
She is sooo cute. And I can tell you're doing a great job. You truly are superwoman. And thanks so much that you continue to find the time to blog for us curlies and coilies out here.
virtual hugs and kisses to the lovely gia
thanks for the special post- made my day
She is sooo adorable, and I'm with you one those Mommy observations!!
Happy 2 month birthday Gia.
Being a Mommy is such a joy!! I will tell you this, you will start to feel some sense of normalcy when Gia has been out longer than she has in (your belly) So give yourself 9 months to get into a nice routine, and diaper bags will keep the essentials, keep a spare in the car with everything including a pacifier…if she takes one!
I can promise you that it will get easier!!!
My Kendall is 2 and will be 3 in December, he is such a joy!
I look forward to your updates on Baby G! She's too adorable! I love your outlook on things!
She is simply gorgeous! God bless
~Belleaenca~
Too funny! I'm feeling you though, my son hit 2 months on the 25th. You're doing better than me though cuz I have to be at work at 730… No rest for the weary!
