Got any new pics to share?

Hey there!

Thanks so much for asking! Motherhood is great, but I do have to admit that I am not the stay at home type mom! I love my career and miss it already. I planned to take the entire 12 week FMLA, but I think I might go back early. I really miss it and the paychecks, but I know I will miss being home with Alex too.

We did pick his daycare yesterday and we are very happy and impressed with them. I have 3 co-workers that take their kids too and they gave excellent referrals as well so that gives me great peace of mind.

Alex is just growing every day...I dont have many pics recently but we are getting our family pictures done this Sunday. He has his first "4th of July" out fit so we will take some in that. I will post as soon as I get them back.

He has been fussy lately and I read on the internet for fussy, gassy or colicky babies to buy the Dr. Browns Bottles. Well I bought some on Sunday and started using them and he is like a brand new happy baby! I wish I would have bought them sooner. So just some advice if any of you have or will have fussy babies, I highly recommend the Dr. Brown's Bottles!!!

Cathy

Oh Cathy,
I am so happy things are going well for you all! I think Alex will do just great in day care and I'm happy to hear your ok with going back to work. You know it breaks my heart when ladies have to go back to work and they just aren't ready for it, I think it makes life so hard so it is a little refreshing to hear about someone being ready with and ok. Good Luck!!!

You know my cousin swears by those Dr. Brown bottles, when it is time for my baby registry I'll be adding them for sure.

Keep us posted and I hope we get to see picks of the family when they are done. Alex is such a cutie!!!
