Thankful for the weekend!

This week was by far the worst week of my life. Just when I thought I was going to be okay, I got a toothache and a sinus infection. Then, our sitter's husband had a stroke and Lee had to take off to stay home with Autumn on Thursday. I fell apart again on Friday when I had to leave. She was sitting on the bed making cute faces and cooing at Lee. I started thinking about everything I would miss during the day and I just lost it! Uggh!!! Lee did a great job taking care of her. He called me at work and Autumn cooed in the phone. :) Today, has been much better. We got up this morning and went to IHOP. Then we went and visited with Mimaw and Pipaw. After that we stopped by and saw Aunt GiGi and Uncle Aaron. Now, we are going to take a little snooze. Hopefully, next week will be better.

Feeling Blue

Well, I started back to work on Monday of this week. Thus far, this had been the worst week of my life (and it's only Tuesday). For those of you who are working moms I know you can sympathize. For those who are fortunate enough to be able to stay home, thank God every day for this gift that you have been given. I feel like my heart has been ripped out my chest. I hate waking Autumn up at the crack of dawn every morning and having to leave her with a virtual stranger. She has been so confused this week. She screamed for an hour after getting home the past two afternoons. What makes the situation even worse for me, is that I am going to school to take care of other people's children. Oh the irony!!!!

I have had several people say, well you could stay home if you really wanted too. So not true, right now. Lee and I plan to have at least one other child (maybe two) and it's time to buy a new vehicle and get a bigger house. And, unfortunately in this day and age it pretty much takes two to make ends meet.

I really appreciate all my sweet family members, husband, and co-workers for being so supportive right now. I most certainly need it. So, please just keep praying for me and my little angel. Hopefully, we will adjust soon.

Eight Weeks and Counting...

Sadly, time is marching on. Autumn was 8 weeks old yesterday. She will be 2 months on Thursday. I can't believe how much she has already grown. Mom bought this cute, little sweater before Autumn was born. She was so tiny when she came home, I never thought this thing would fit. But, as you can see she has it on!

Autumn is getting to be so much fun! She recognizes Lee and I whenever we pick her up. She is all smiles! She has also started cooing and "talking" to us when we hold her. She is trying really hard to roll over when we lay her on her tummy, but she hasn't quite got the hang on it yet.

I am super, sad that I have to go back to work on Monday. I have cried about it every night this past week. I know Monday will be a horrible day for me! Hopefully, Auutmn will have a good day with Mrs. Carolyn. I know she will take good care of her, but I can't stand the thought of having to walk away and leave her there. Please pray that I make it through the next week without having a mental breakdown. :)

Aunt GiGi Gets Married!

It's hard to believe but last weekend at this time, Gen and Aaron had finished saying "I Do" and were chillin' at home. Gen was a beautiful bride and the ceremony was very touching.

Autumn took Aunt Gigi's wedding all in stride. She pretty much slept the whole day away. However, when we got home she let Lee and I know that she had been good long enough. (Everyone thinks she is the quietest, little thing. ) Well, she "aired" out for lungs for about an hour and half after the wedding.

We hope Gen and Aaron had a great week on their cruise. We have certainly missed seeing them this week. Autumn is looking forward to seeing her Aunt Gigi when she gets back this week. :)
