Spring Break - Bittersweet

I always look forward to spring break and that wonderful week off with my family. This year it will be a bittersweet time. I am so looking forward to the break for everyone and the great week we will spend together, however, this year I am sad to see it come around as I will have to head back to work after SB. It will be so hard to leave Amber. Thank God my mom and SIL will be keeping her for 2 weeks before she goes to the sitter. I am not worried about her going to the sitter because we have an awesome sitter. I just am sad that I have to leave her and head back to work. I guess that is just the way things are and I'll be fine and she will be too. Maybe I can win the lottery this weekend - of course that would mean I would have to play the lottery - something I never do ! First time for everything - right ?

On a much happier note. I can't wait for Wednesday as Brandi and Shay and Addy and Emmerson will be here. THey will be staying with us for a couple of days. We are so excited to have them here and to just get to hang out with them again. I miss my girls so much can not wait to see them. They are all grown up - Addy always was but is even more so now !!! We will be sad to see them head out on Friday. Maybe we can make time stand still - that is about as believable as me winning the lottery.

Everyone have a great Friday and an awesome SB.

A month today

Wow how time flies. Amber will be a month old in about 2 hours and 7 minutes. At exactly this time 4 weeks ago, I was headed to the hospital wondering if I was in labor and just a short 2 hours later we had a beautiful baby girl in our arms. I can't believe it has already been a month. My time with her is growing short and I will be returning to work. Although I am ready for some adult conversation and to see my kids at school, I am not ready to leave my sweet baby girl. She is changing so much everyday, I'm sad that i will miss those pivotal milestones. I know she will be well taken care of, but it still makes me very sad to have to leave her.

She is now smiling when she hears our voices and is sleeping very well. We are down to 1 feeding at night. Hopefully by the time I go to work we will be sleeping through the night.

Blessings to all who have recently had little ones or are awaiting the arrival of their little one. They are such blessings from God. And yes, they are even blessings when they are 14 (like Nate) and being total teenagers.

Love to all.
