"School"

Well I was forced to face reality this last week. Macy started "school" on Monday March 21.

It was by far the worst day ever! Yes it was hard when I went back to work 4 weeks ago but she was still at home and was either with my mom (nana), or Jeff's mom (JuJu) or her daddy. So it was more of me just transitioning back into work mode. But last Monday was by far the worst! It is just not normal to carry your baby for 9 months and then spend some many weeks at home just you and them. And then be expected to drop them off with some one you really don't know. We decided not to place her in a daycare center right now as we were a little more comfortable with a home sitter. We met with a few ladies and choose for her to stay with Ms. Naomi..or as Macy will know her Ms. Mimi. She came highly recommended and actually ended up being the aunt of one of the nurses I work with.

We got to Ms. Mimi's at 7:15 and went through Macy's whole schedule, I went over all her little quirks... aka pickyness. =) Spent about 15 minutes watching her with Macy. Then it was time for me to leave. I had already cried all morning so I thought for sure I had already got it all out. Well I was wrong. I picked Macy up and lost it again. I kissed my girl, gave her a hug and told her I hoped she had a good day and handed her to the Ms. Mimi. Wiped my tears and left.
I walked out the front door and felt like I could not let go of the door knob. To close the door and walk away from her, get in my car and know that I was not going to be back for 8 hours... Was horrible.

I know that every mother goes through these same emotions, and I know that over time it will get easier. But that day at that time I honestly didn't care what everyone else has/had to go through, or that over time it would get better. I was leaving MY BABY for the 1st time with someone I have barely met and trusting her with my most prized possession. At the end of the day I could not wait to get my girl. According to Ms.Mimi everyone had a pretty good day. And for the 1st day that is all that I had hope for. But I sure am glad that day is BEHIND me.

If you are wondering why Macy only has 3 days of pictures, it is because right now I am only working 2 1/2 days a week. However that will change over the next month or so. =(

Happy Birthday Ben

Macy is becoming a seasoned professional... On Saturday we drove to Austin for the day to go to Ben's 2nd birthday party. I'll let the TON of pictures speak for them selves.

Happy Birthday Kolbie

Macy attended her first birthday party a couple of weeks ago. Miss Kolbie had a super cute pink & orange party that her crafty mommy threw her. It was so cute and I was totally impressed with everything. I am pretty sure I am going to hire Aimee as my party planner for Macy's b-day!

3 Months Old

My goodness I can not believe that I am posting another month update already , much less a 3 month update. I swear I just did this. Our little miss has been pretty busy this month. So Ill get right to it..

3 month stats:

• Finally grew out of all newborn clothes a couple of weeks ago.

• This week started drinking 5 oz. of formula. And is doing well with the increase.

• Found her hands 2/26/11
  

• She rolled over last week from her tummy to her back 3/3/11

• laughed out loud last week as well 3/6/11

• Sleeping longer at night. Even though we still have the random night of up every 4 hours wanting to eat. Here lately though she has been taking her last bottle between 8:30-9:00 and is down by 10:00. And has been sleeping till 5-6:30am.

• colic issues seem to be resolving them selves this week. =)

• I went back to work this month and both of us seem to have adjusted as good as can be expected with that. However she has been with Nana, Juju and daddy. She spends her last week this next week with Nana and then she starts childcare on the 21st. I am not looking forward to that AT ALL!

• She does not go back to the doctor until next moth so as far as an "official" weight that will come on the next post. Just my guess I would have to say she is 11.5-12 pounds.
  

Macy,
Well Sweetheart you have done it again. How did you become another month older so quickly? You are such a sweet girl. And you are all smiles all the time! We thought you were talking last month, but you have really found your voice and you LOVE you use it =). Over this last month our clean/neat house has turned into what looks like a daycare with all of your toys and stuff everywhere. But I would not trade it for anything in the world.I told you this last month and I'll probably tell you this again next month. But could you really slow down with this growing up thing. At this rate you'll be moving out before I know it.

I love you to the moon & back,
~ Mommy

Clothes,Clothes and more clothes.... Good grief as if she didn't have enough already. Carter's had to go and have a big ole' sale a couple of weeks ago and of course Macy had to have a few new outfits..... and 2 new pair of shoes. Girls are entirely way to much fun! And we are for sure to be broke in no time
