Loving the Busy Life

If someone would have told me how crazy busy your life gets after you have a baby I would never have thought how right they were. Being back at work makes time for anything but Hailey and Blaine nearly impossible. I am doing OK now that it has been almost a month but would much rather be home :) Weekends are that much more special with Hailey. Hailey is growing everyday more and more and seems to be a different baby from one week to the next. She is now holding her head up on her own for long periods of time! After to long though she does get tired and becomes a bobble head again haha. She is also trying to laugh still but not getting the full sound out yet. She smiles at you non-stop and it is one of the greatest things in the world. My favorite time of day is when she first wakes up. I hear her moving around in her bassinet so I go and check on her, she looks up at me with her big blue eyes and just gives me the biggest smile on earth. We smile back and forth at each other for a few minutes and then I pick her up and give her the biggest hug and kiss. I love doing this every morning, it makes starting the day that much better. I knew that the love I would have for her would be amazing but never thought it could be this great. Even on days where she just wants to fuss it is amazing and just one smile makes it all worth it. I love spending the time I do with Blaine and Hailey. Blaine is such a wonderful father and can not get enough of his little girl. I am blessed with such a wonderful family!

Changes

It amazing to me how from day to day Hailey is changing more and more. I have to go back to work on Monday :( It is the scariest thing in the world to me right now to think that I will not be spending my day watching my little one. To make going back to work even harder, Hailey has really started to smile now! She is working on trying to laugh to because a lot of her smiles are looking like she is trying to laugh. Hailey is interacting so much more making me never want to leave her! I know the place she is going will be wonderful but leaving her is not easy no matter how great the people that will be watching her are. I am looking forward to the second baby so that I might be able to stay home :) but that will down the road. Overall, I just wanted to show some great pictures of my growing little angel. I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do!!!

This is her big smile that almost looks like a laugh

Deep in thought

Hailey's 6 Week Pictures

As my little angel sleep I look back and can not believe that she is almost two months old! I feel like I just had her and yet at the same time can not think of my life before she came into it. I always heard people say how when you have a baby they become your world, now that I have her I can see why they say that. I love her so much and thank god everyday for giving her to Blaine and I, we are truly blessed! I have to return to work next week and feel like crying everyday that I think of leaving her, even on the days where all she wants to do is cry :) Hailey is growing so fast and as of last week was 11lbs 12oz. I see her changing before my eyes and developing her personality, it is just so amazing. I find myself just staring at her sometime trying to take in everything that I can because it seems like everyday when she wakes up she has changed. One of those amazing changes is her sleeping through most of the night already! Hailey tends to go to be around 10pm and will sleep till about 4:30-5am, just amazing because she is up to eat and then back to bed by about 6am till almost 9am! This is giving mom so much needed time to get stuff done :) All in all, being a mom is the best thing and I can not wait to have our family grow even more.

Wide wake and so cute!

She was just not happy with this :)

Crying but just so cute!

Having sweet dreams
