Dare I say THRIVING...okay week one anyway :)

       Almost a year has past since writing my blog post about "going back to work" and now I'm writing this post excited about surviving our first full week as, stay at home mom and stay at home daughter. What an adventure this year has been!! It was so difficult to go back to work after having you, and I know that is true for most every mom, and I was beyond blessed to have as much time off with you as I did. As I look back now going back to work was great for the most part. It allowed me to have some time away and allowed you to go to a wonderful WONDERFUL in-home daycare with wonderful people whom I feel are like family now. You have grown and changed so much and I wouldn't change anything about this last year even if I could. But not is a new chapter in our saga and it involves a lot of me and you time baby girl!! WHOOHOO!! We survived our first week together and I might dare say...thrived!! We packed for our move, went to the zoo, went to the spray park with Aunt Heather and Lyla, learned how to say no and shake your head yes, cooked dinners for Dadda, got a cold that you decided to share with me (thanks), slept in, woke up early, snuggled, laughed, cried and most of all, on my end anyway, ABSOLUTELY soaked up every minute. I know we are going to have a blast together baby girl and I look forward to soaking up more and more with you. Thank you, and a very special thank you to your Dadda for working so hard and making this all possible. We love you!! xxoo
