10 weeks and 10 pounds

I wrote this last week but never published..oops! Here you go!

Our baby is 10 weeks old now and weighs over 10 pounds! She has outgrown all her newborn clothes and has moved onto 1 size diapers - she is a growing girl and we are so proud! AJ (trying out the nickname) has officially found her voice and talks up a storm! It is amazing to hear her little voice and hold a conversation - even though it is a bit one sided :) She really does try and interacts so well that it excites me for the near future when she will be jabbering away (like her mother)! I cannot wait to hear all the funny, clever and sweet things that she will talk about. I know that she will be very opionated just like her mom and dad!



Over the next few weeks this little family will be particpating in several exciting events. Adrian will be heading to school next Monday which I am sure will be more of an adjustment for me then it will be for her! Luckily we will just be easing into it as I dont go back to work till the 22nd. Immediately following the start of school Adrian will be getting baptised into the Lutheran faith by the same Pastor that married us almost 3 years ago. This will be a very special day for her.

Four days after the baptism I return to work. I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of things and diving into some new projects but I am going to desperately miss my little girl. Since becoming a mom I have learned how to be a mom this way- stay at home- and now I am going to have to relearn as a working mom. I just hope that it is an easy transition. I am also fearful of losing my milk once I go back to work. Breastfeeding has gone so well so far and I do want to continue as long as I can but you just never know what my work schedule has in store for me! My plan is to play it by ear and try to be as flexible as I can and hopefully my body will adapt and keep up (fingers crossed)!

Life has been so incredibly amazing since Adrian entered the world. Every morning that she wakes up smiling and cooing it makes me think about how lucky we are and how I wouldnt change one thing!
