I wanted to have some fun on my last day at home with Connor before going back to work. My friend Karen and I went out to lunch and then of course Starbucks 🙂 I think she is just as much an addict as I am! Ha..ha..!!! We went walking around the mall and went to Sephora and Karen got her eyes made over and then across the way was the Godiva boutique. If you join their mailing list you get a free truffle a month, so I stopped in and got my free truffle! Thanks Karen for a fun day with you and baby “J” and soon to be baby boy!

I also window shopped for mother’s day (dream on!) but I wanted an aquamarine something or another with Connor’s birth stone….maybe someday……I’ve been off of work for awhile so extra moolah is not there for the bling bling!

Here is SUPER CONNOR!

(Mommy likes to play dress up…I try to just let her so she’ll leave me alone!)

And here he is today right before we left for Aunt Rebecca’s house and I had to go to work. I had my cry this morning and told him goodbye 🙁 I think I was more worried how he would act over there than anything else. She said he did pretty good today so that calmed my nerves a little. My day starts so early now (around 5:45 am) Terence woke up around 3:00 last night and fed him a bottle (thank you sooo much for letting me sleep honey!) It was nice to go back to work and see everyone and know I was missed! It makes me feel better that they missed me 😛

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!

I’m clinging onto every last second I have with this little man. I am going back to work on Friday and I’m just dreading it! I’m trying to get things ready and put his name on his bottles and things like that. He’s been so good this week and hardly cried or thrown any fits at all! I can’t believe it! He’s my precious angel boy and I thank God every day for him…my heart is just so full of love for this little human being it hurts. My life and my time is not my own anymore…he definitely rules the roost right now! Maybe eventually I’ll get more time to do the things I used to, but right now he is definitely in charge! LOL! It is getting better though….

I wanted to ask a question: What kind of bottles do you use?

I’ve been using the Dr. Browns bottles because they don’t come out as fast, but they have been leaking a lot lately. I’ve also tried the Avent bottles as well, but the milk comes out too fast…I’m having no luck here, so suggestions welcome!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

I figured since I won’t have any vacation time after maternity leave that we should squeeze in one last visit to Arkansas before I start back to work on Friday. We headed home Thursday afternoon and got home yesterday evening. We had a great trip…short but sweet! Connor was so good in the car and only woke up a couple of times each way. He was soooo GOOD the whole time we were there I was thinking “what happened to my child!” He barely threw any fits and just soaked up all the lovin from Poppy, Nana, Nannie, Kristin, Nate, and their three kiddos. We are so blessed with such wonderful friends and family and it’s always good to see them and be reminded of that!

Of course you can’t have a road trip without lots of COFFEE!!!

(Red eye alert!!! The air was making my sinuses explode!)

The kids wanted to hold and kiss him all the time!

It was soooo sweet!

All this sugar is just overwhelming!

I am so loved!

Connor wore his overalls that Nannie got him…Papa would approve!

I sure do love my precious Nannie!

And she loves me too….

Now we are back home and Mommy is trying to enjoy every last MINUTE with me!

(Excuse the scruffy voice-sinuses)

I’ve been sick with a bad sinus headache, sore throat, and fever since yesterday. I haven’t been sick since before I had Connor and this stinks 🙁 I just hope I don’t pass anything onto him & it’s so hard to know what you can take while breastfeeding. I am going to cry when I have to go back to work next Friday!!! Wahhhh!!!!

How am I going to go all day without seeing this face???

Thursday afternoon we leave for Arkansas! Yipppeeee!!!
