Time for changes… The Curvy Elle has mainly been a fashion/vintage/plus size blog in the past, but life for me has changed. I still love all those things, but there are even more things in my life that are important to me. Namely, being a mom and my little girl, Lorelai. I do not want to take any of those original things away from this blog (and no, I’m not turning this into a “Mommy Blog”), but add more diversity. One feature I want to talk about is motherhood and my little girl.
This post is a recap on my baby’s 3rd month of life. I hope to continue this feature for, at least, the first year of her life. For those other mother’s out there, feel free to comment and share in return!

Where has the time gone?! My Lorelai turned three months old two days ago and it feels like yesterday that I was stuck in the hospital for 60 hours waiting for her to arrive.
She has been so much more aware lately. Getting more weary of strangers and people who just plain aren’t mommy or daddy. Last night she rolled to her side while in bed — trying desperately to get the momentum to make it onto her tummy.
My mom babysat her for a couple of hours yesterday. When we came to pick her up, my mom was rocking her asleep. For some reason she had a blueish tinge to her face and I thought she might have stopped breathing. I panicked. Luckily she was okay, just in a deep sleep. This was the first real “scare” I’ve had with her. I was amazed at how, for a second, I got the feeling of the greatest fear and loss that I have ever felt. I guess that’s what it means to be a “mom.”
Even on the hard days, when she screams most of the day, I can see how easy to forget the bad once it’s over. Why people can have more than one. I wouldn’t give any of it up. I love my little Lorelai! My little “mini-me!”
