To work or not to work?

I posted previously about whether I should work or be a stay at home mom. I decided to go back to work part time. I only work 10 hours a week, two 5 hour shifts. My mom has graciously offered to tend Brockston while I work and every other week Nate is home to watch him as well. So far it has been a pretty good arrangement. For one, by my going back to work I didn't have to pay back my insurance premiums. Second, it has been good for me to get out and interact with people. Third, I remembered I am actually pretty good at my job so I get a sense of accomplishment. I've been back for about a month now and am happy with my decision. Until today...

Brockston has been working on his mobility these days. I could tell he was getting close to rolling over yesterday. When I left for work today I told him he couldn't roll over until I got home. Did he listen you ask? Nope! He rolled over today and I missed it! I'm thinking about calling my manager and telling her I'm done!* He'll probably be crawling, walking and talking all in those 10 hours a week that I'm not at home! The worst thing about it is that I just missed it by like a half an hour! Luckily he was nice enough to do it again for me when I got home. He gracefully rolled from his back to his stomach and then back again! I can't believe our little guy is growing up and getting so big! We go to the doctor next week for his 4 month visit so I'll fill you in on his stats.

*I am sad I missed it; however, I do not intend on quitting my job. I do enjoy it and even though it's very little we can definitely use the money. I'm very excited for our little guy. It's so fun to see him discover his new world and learn how to use that little body of his.

So ready for Sunshine!

The Big Move

Well, I did it. I moved Brockston into his room last night. He was just getting too big for the little cradle we have for him to sleep in. It's only across the hall, but I had both doors wide open and had the baby monitor on. It started out well, then at 2:30am he decided to stir because he had a burp. He fell back asleep but woke up 2 hours later. I was able to give him his binki but he kept stirring. I knew that the minute I left he would stir again so I ended up crashing on the floor. I wish he could sleep through the gas and put the binki in his mouth on his own! He wants to suck his fingers but the darn things just won't hold still! After several times of getting up I went and got a blanket and pillow for me to sleep on. It definitely wasn't our worst night, but not our best. Most importantly we've got him moved - now we have to work on getting me moved back into my room!

Blessing Day!

On Sunday Brockston was blessed. It was an awesome day. Nate did such a great job and it was fun to have our family and friends there to celebrate with us. We thought it would be a good time to get our first family photo in as well. We didn't get one at the hospital mostly because I didn't want a camera anywhere near me! Brockston has been such a blessing in our lives and he is such a sweet baby. He smiles all the time and has turned out to be quite the chatter box! He is sleeping so well through the night. He usually gets between 8 and 9 hours of sleep. I'm totally loving this mother thing now that I get more sleep!
