The Treat of the Trade

Yes it came and went...with more tears rolling down my cheeks than his....his 2 month check-up. I didn't stay in there while they issued the shots...his daddy did though. Of course 2 min after the nurse left he was already the happy baby that he is,laughing and being cheerful. Now I am better prepared for the 2nd round in 2 more months....I really am more amazed at how the time really flies....hes 2 months old...12lbs and 23in long!! i will want him to stay this size forever! But at the same time we are so lucky to have such a healthy baby...he is also a little ahead on his development skills....which is great....I will wake up one day and he will be walking...and talking!!

I went back to work from maternity leave last week, and although it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be....i still would have rather been at home. The days go by a little faster but I still have to talk myself out of calling the sitter every half hour!!....he's doing well with her and I'm doing OK being away from him all day long!! my favorite part of the day is coming home to him!

I go back to work Monday. Part of me is ready to go back because one I can only do so much around the house when the baby is sleeping and two I am getting really stir crazy. I honestly thought I would want to be a stay at home mom...not so much...of course I may eat those words when he is a little older and doing more than eating a bottle and sleeping all day!! The other part of me isn't ready for the sitter to tell me...."he laughed out loud today"..."hes holding his bottle all by himself now"..."hes talking!!"....it will break me!! and then the fact that Josh will have him in the afternoons I still will miss out on so much too!! I just keep telling myself....working hard now will allow him to have the things he needs and he will appreciate me for that. Between now and then I want to have a little time to myself...kick my feet up and put that load of laundry off or the sink full of dishes off just one more day....and hold him all day and soak it all i...

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!....2009 is officially upon us!! Hope all is well with everyone and they rang in the new year with loved ones and stayed safe....We stayed home...enjoyed some bubbly....enjoyed the new life we have in our home....(honestly i was changing a poopy diaper when the ball dropped so i had to rewind it...i rang in the new year at 12:05) I think I will always be late....for something. Time for another list of resolutions that will OR in my case will be thought about...and i may get around to them late in the year....i want to keep taking good care of my self and add some exercise....i want to pick up scrap booking even if all i do is make one album....but the one thing i know will get done is that i want to always * ALWAYS* make sure Jaxon knows that me and his dad do the best we can everyday to make him happy and keep him safe in this sometimes scary world....i realized the other day that there is alot to take in coming from such a little person....his little eyes and ears ...
