Back to Work

Adelaide turned 2 Months this week!! I now know what people mean when they say that time flys!

She's starting to smile and talk more which makes being a parent even more enjoyable. She's also starting to get a little more predictable which makes things a little easier. We finally think we have her formula issues figured out so she's one happy baby.

One downside to her getting older was that I had to go back to work. We agreed on 8 weeks off. Although before I got pregnant I said I would probably never want to be a stay at home mom, I definitely would love to be one now. I cried several times the night before and about halfway to work the next morning. I did get to leave early my first day because we were slow and Tyler was actually sick for the first time in the 8 years I've known him. Of course he would get sick the first day he had to watch Adelaide for an extended period, he did okay though. Although I do have to say that the outfit he picked out for her to wear that day was definitely a "dad" outfit, nothing matched.

Being gone is getting easier and knowing that I'll have a joyful smile to wake up to the next morning helps. The extra money in my paycheck will also be a relief after maternity pay. I just have to think of all of the cute clothes I can buy for Addy with that money! hehe! I do have to say that I'm blessed to be a nurse and only work 3 days a week.

Well, we're really transitioning into our normal life now and still enjoying it. Hoping to maybe get something closer to home for work this summer (gas is a killer right now) and then we'll really be settled in Kansas City which we're all excited about.
