Ok.... it's been way too long since I've last posted. This weekend I am taking Hayden to Grandpa and Grandma Weiler's for the weekend, and of course Auntie Amy, Uncle Wayne and Cousin Megan will be there as well. Hayden will be 2 months old on Sunday! I can't believe it. I feel like I can never enjoy the moment. I'm am always wishing for the day when she can crawl, sit up, smile at me when I make a silly face, eat solids, babble, etc. But at the same time I am missing when I held her in my arms and she was just a little newborn peanut. I need to start learning to live more in the moment. I am definitly learning alot as a new parent and loving every minute of it! She is teaching me sooo much about myself as an individual, wife and mother.


I went back for my 6 week checkup with my OBGYN two weeks ago and towards the end of the visit he asked me if we were going to start on baby number 2 right away or if I would like him to write me a script. I gave him a look that made him whip out his pad and start scribbling without having to say anything more. But even though that was only two weeks ago I can totally see myself mentally and emotionally preparing to give Hayden a sibling. I definitely want to have more children, and although we are going to wait another year or two, I am completely in love with being Hayden's mom.


I am so happy the weather has been so nice lately. Last Friday when I got home from work I put Hayden in the stroller and we went for a walk around the block while Dad went to go get Pizza and movies for the night. I have to say I am starting to like our new neighborhood more and more. It seems to consist of alot of families with little kids. Everyone I passed on the sidewalk seemed really nice and I also discovered a playground in the middle of our subdivision; not to mention the elementary school is literally 3 blocks away. I can't wait for summer to really get here!!


I am putting up a pic of Hayden with her Auntie Erica. Erica drove all the way down from Alexandria on Sunday to visit.

Tired

I started back at work yesterday and it was probably one of the most miserable days I have had in a long time. All I could think about all day was Hayden and how I couldn't be with her. I even brought a picture of her to work with me to look at every once in a while and I called her babysitter on my lunch hour to check up on her too. Today was a little bit better though, and I have a feeling that slowly it will get better and better and I will just get used to it. But not to used to it, because eventually I will be a 'stay at home mom' at least until all our kids (yes... we are going to have at least 1 more) are in school.


So since I started work again Mike and I agreed that we would alternate nights getting up with her. I told him that I would get up with her on Tuesday night because I took a nap on Tuesday and wasn't that tired and figured that by Wednesday night after a long day at work I would be pooped. So then he would get up with her Wednesday night. Well low and behold the first night he has to get up with her she decides that she is going to sleep through the night! What the heck! This just isn't fair. As much as I couldn't believe this I am sooo happy and I am crossing my fingers that she keeps it up.

Well... that is about it for now. I having been thinking about starting to post about things other than my baby - branch out... but tonight I am just too tired, maybe next time. I still have to go give her a bath, take a shower myself, pack her stuff to go to grandma and grandpa's house for Easter this weekend and feed and put her to bed.


Here are some more recent pics (she is 6 weeks old today).
