8 weeks old!

My baby girl is 8 weeks old tomorrow! where does the time go?? I feel like shes been here forever, but born just yesterday all at the same time!

This is my last week home on maternity leave, and its going by WAY too fast. I've had to start trying on all my pre-pregnancy work clothes, plan dinners/lunches, get together all her things for daycare... not fun. Its breaking my heart thinking about leaving her. I told Joey I may have to say my goodbyes here at home and let him take her that first day- so I can have time to get myself together before walking into the office! Its been amazing being home with her, I can't begin to explain how less stressed I've been. This is hands down the happiest few weeks of my life, all cause of her. I love spending my days with her, coaxing her to smile, taking photos/videos like crazy, just being a wife and mommy. THIS is what God put me here todo. Hopefully one day I CAN be a stay at home mom, we've made it our goal to make that happen but I know realistically it won't happen anytime soon. Wondering how I'm going to work 40+ hours a week, pick up baby girl, get home cook dinner, take care of her, get up to feed her in the night and do it all over again the next day....everyday. I see lots of coffee in my future!

Adelynn is drinking 6 oz bottles, and ALMOST sleeping through the night. I only get up once with her at night, feed her/change her, and she goes right back down. Sunday night she slept from 9:45pm-6am! I think that was a new record! After I fed her she went back down for a few more hours. She is AWESOME. She smiles all the time now and its my most favorite thing, she is so adorable when she smiles! She has started cooing and this past weekend we even heard a giggle! We've been trying to catch it on video but haven't been quick enough yet! Shes still super laid back, never cries, loves bath time... I can't say it enough- SHE IS AWESOME!

I hope when I go back to work I can still keep her journal/baby book up to date. I've made it a point to work on it once a week, which is easy while I'm home! I just hope I don't get too caught up with work/life to keep it going. Its one of my favorite things to do!

I love this baby girl with all my heart.
