I SURVIVED!!!

I made it through my first day at work. It was tough leaving this morning but I did not shed a tear. Miss E was still sleeping at 8am so I didn't wake her to kiss that cute face good bye! I really wanted too but that would have been so MEAN. My aunt who is watching her said she was very confused all morning and kept looking around .... heart melting! But she did very well and was her normal happy bouncy self by the afternoon! I did miss being at home! I was a career girl before but I could totally stay at home and be content! You always want what you can't have! Boo hoo!!! Oh well, on to my first day ... very busy busy I only had time to call twice in between getting back in the groove of things, pumping at work, and all my meetings. I didn't even get to eat lunch till like 2:30 pm. I have to get better at that as I do not want my supply to dip! The good thing is that the pumping rooms are super nice at work, that was very exciting. Also, all the mommies put up pictures of the babies, so I must remember to bring a picture of Miss E! All in all, I can't complain and tomorrow is a team building day so that will be FUN! I might even get to leave early which would TOTALLY make my day!! The one thing I did learn is after you get home from work the real chaos begins ... making dinner (which I am no good at but slowly improving), playing with elle, kissing her like I am a crazing woman, bed time routine, oh and finally making time for Alex and myself to hang out!!! Simply exhausting!!

Photo Catch up!

Here are a few pictures of Miss E! ENJOY!!

Just because we CAN! Love all the hair!

Helping mommy clean out her closet. I am so helpful!

Miss e is taking after mommy!! LOVE IT ... Future gymnast!!

Just fror GG!!! Go Beavers!!!

This is how Daddy dresses me ... don't you think coral, pink and argyle goes together ! Of course, what was mommy thinking!

When Daddy babysits we always have a new adventure! Way to go Daddy I love the playpen with soft pillows, GENIUS in my mind!

Why would we sit back in the bouncer ... no we want to sit up at all costs!

Potty Training!

Ok, I maybe crazy but I am going to try and start potty training miss elle! She has had the diaper rash from HELL since she was 2 months old and it just won't go away! We have tried EVERYTHING, and when I say everything I mean EVERYTHING! I have seen 4 different pedi's and have tried all their secrets and nothing has worked. Poor little girl! ;( So I did my research and decided to buy this potty for miss e!

Totally cute right! Its pink, what more could a little girl ask for! Plus, the reviews sold it to me. Easy for babies to sit on because it has a back and easy to clean! Perks for everyone!

Wish me LUCK!!

Monday!

Man oh man what a busy day! My aunt and uncle came to town because this weekend is Miss E's baptism! Also, my aunt will be watching her for the next two months. We are so lucky to have family help, it is the BEST! But that means I had to make room in our two bedroom condo that is already filled to the brim! Its pretty crazy how much stuff one little baby needs. Well ... she might not need it all but she HAS it so we have to make room. Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning and organizing is what I did late last night! While organizing our condo I also decided to clean out my closet ... why just do one big task at a time. No not me, that would be plain silly. So while cleaning out my closet I noticed I needed more work tops. Bright and early this morning Miss E and myself headed to the mall, one more task on my plate. Which I found NOTHING! Great!

Basically, I was running around all day to come back and have guests. Stressful! But so excited for everyone to come to town.

Here is the schedule for this week:

• Tuesday and Wednesday will consist of last minute errands and teaching my aunt what Miss E likes and prefers to do during the day.
• Thursday is my first day of work. STRESSFUL!!! I have never left Miss E more then 3 hours and that was with Alex so even more STRESSFUL! After 7 months off this is just so daunting! I know I may be a little dramatic but for now this is how I feel. I am sure it will be fine once we get in the groove of things but for now I am stressed! Oh, and my Mom flies in on Thursday night! I can't wait to see her, I miss her so much!
• Friday my mom and aunt will watch Ellie, what a lucky little girl!
• Saturday is my cousin's daughters 1 st Birthday! Happy Birthday little one!! Plus, I have to drop off the favors at the restaurant and make sure everything will run as smooth as possible! Wish me luck on that one as we have 105 guests! Yes, 105 guests and no it is not a wedding just a baptism for an almost 6 month baby! Oh, my brother and dad will come to town! Oh, how I miss them too!!
• Sunday = Baptism. All I have to say is WISH ME LUCK! My fingers are crossed that the baptism will go smoothly and Miss E will be a trooper! Lots of family means lots of, "I want to hold the sweet little baby."
• Monday, starts my first FULL week of work! I am exhausted just typing about this, oh boy!

Please pray for me this week!

Signature!

Got a new signature!

Bouncy Chairs = MASSIVE BLOW OUTS!

Seriously, every time I put miss elle in her bouncy chair she has a MASSIVE EXPLOSION! Really, child every time! I have washed it so many times I think the designs are going to wash off. Not really, but I have washed it a million times and it always makes its appreance in the laundry basket.

9 more days till d-day! :( I am going to miss our daily photoshoots, mall trips, and rolling on the floor for hours!

XOXO, Kami

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!
