2 Months

So, I'm a little late on this post, but I thought these pictures were too cute to not put up. (Of course I do, she's my baby!) I had good intentions of posting much more often, but I get distracted by this sweet little girl in our house. I spend my time snuggling her, listening to her "talk", playing with her, ... I often create posts in my head, but by the time I get around to writing them, something new and more exciting has usually come up. I still intend on posting pictures of Maya's nursery. Maybe next week ;) Anyways ~ I have been blessed to have spent the last 10 weeks around the clock with this sweet little girl, snuggling, learning about each other, and falling more and more in love. Unfortunately, harsh reality set in last Monday when I headed back to work. It came much too quickly. Gone are the days of sleeping in, watching Regis and Kelly, taking mid-morning naps, afternoon naps, watching Oprah, etc... I had been anticipating this change for a long time, knowing it would be awful. I couldn't bring myself to leave Maya in another room, much less leave her for 8 hours while I was at work?! All I have to say is that we survived.... but it wasn't fun. I cried each morning that I left her and counted down the hours until I could come home to her. I was much more sad than Maya was. In fact, she wasn't sad at all- she didn't even know I was gone. (And THAT made me sad) Don't get me wrong, I'm glad she loves her daddy, but part of me was sad that she was perfectly happy with a bottle {of pumped breast milk} and hanging out with Dad all day. But at the same time, I am THRILLED that they get that bonding time. I made it through one full week and even went back to work again today (not that I had a choice in it.) I often wonder if I should have taken more time off of work, but I am convinced it wouldn't matter how much time I took off, it would still be hard. Hard, as in: cry for days before going back to work, not want to put her down, break all the rules (like bringing her to bed with me) kind of hard ;) You get the point. But, did I mention that we survived? Thanks for following all my rambling. Now that I have made a short story long, we are doing wonderfully. Happy, healthy, and very much in love! I love my family! <3
