The Second Month and Fourth Start
For real?
This can't be happening.
How is it possible that just two short months ago, I was waddling around with this GORGEOUS little lady inside me?
I. Can't. Take. It.
Time is going by way too fast and I don't know how to slow it down. Thinking about her growing up makes me all sorts of different emotions. But right now, they're mostly sad ones. I'm absolutely loving my time with this precious miracle girl and want to snuggle her teeny, baby-smelling body forever. Gosh, she's just too sweet.

Millie Girl,
You're two months old now and growing up quicker than I ever anticipated. It's so much fun to watch you change and learn, but I do - so much so - love how dependent you are on Daddy and me. It makes me sad knowing that one day, you won't have to depend on me for your every waking (and sleeping) moment...but I think I'm maybe getting a little ahead of myself. You have a long ways to go before I have to come to terms with that! People always told me that having a child would make time speed up like never before. They were right. Already, you're holding your head up and flipping it from side to side - even from your stomach. You've had a strong neck from day one, but I wasn't expecting you to be able to already flip it back and forth while sleeping! You're amazing. You now wake up to smiles and feet kicks and arm waves and you crack us up every time you perform this little "workout." You pant and squeal and make all sorts of cute noises while you move around; it's seriously the cutest thing I've ever seen. Believe it or not, you're almost too tall for the travel nest we've had you sleeping in from the very beginning. There's maybe another inch or two of room left before you have to move into your "bigger girl bed." Wow. Let's see...you finally found your hands while at Grandma's house and constantly, I find you sucking and gnawing on them. You are more aware than ever before and definitely, you've figured out when I am and am not around. It's flattering, yes, but baby girl, other people want to snuggle you too! Especially Daddy. But since I'm the milk maid and you're the hungry gulping hippo, I understand your desire to be near me. And I love it too. Because I like the snuggles more than anyone! Oh! Our first trip to Washington was a complete success. You were the best travel companion I could've asked for. You didn't cry once on any of the flights, nursed without trouble, and slept almost the entire time. Thank you!! By now, you've seen four of Daddy's games, ruined just two onesies, pooped on two towels, had 3 blowouts, moved 700 miles, retired the newborn clothes, taken 10 showers, and brought countless smiles to so many friends and family members.
You love Whitacre.
You love and recognize your Daddy.
And you make me the happiest Mommy.
Ever.
Even when you (still) scream from your car seat.
I love you more than you could ever know, Little Me-Me.
(Cousin Bearett gave you that nickname, along with the others while trying to pronounce "Amelia!")
Always all my love,
Mommy

Adam threw in his fourth start of the year last night. And true to Conley fashion, the game was rained out in the middle of the fourth inning after a mini hurricane-like thing crashed into our city. It was the second storm of the day - the first one coming yesterday morning and taking out our power until 2:30 in the afternoon. Seriously, the baseball gods are hating on us right now. Adam still hasn't had a "normal" outing...one that begins on time, at night, not on a travel day, and without a rain delay or cancellation. It's been an interesting start to our season, buuuuut, whatever, right?! In this game and in the minor leagues, you take what you can get and try your darnedest to make the best of it. And considering the circumstances of last night, I'd say Adam did just that.
4IP, 3H, 0R, 0ER, 2BB
But because the game was postponed, none of these stats will appear on Adam's record until the game is completed.
